"THE CAPRICES OF MARIANNE"
by Alfred de MUSSET.
In a few words…
Alain Leempoel amazed us by adapting the film Festen in a marquee. Here he brings together a brilliant cast to sow in the service of Alfred de Musset's talent. The director situates the action at the beginning of the 20th century on this island which he knows like his pocket: Corsica! Jealousy and vendetta will shake up a small town steeped in its traditions.
It’s brilliant, light and cruel at the same time.

From 19th century romanticism to today's sickness
Les caprices de Marianne is the story of a youth shattered by its century, its idleness.
This piece by Alfred de Musset is unclassifiable: Comedy? Drama? Tragedy?
It derives from drama by the social classes represented, from comedy by some of its colorful characters, its lively actions and the language sometimes close to conversation, from tragedy finally by the inexorable advance towards the death of the character of Coelio as well as the themes addressed.
Musset takes the mysterious pulse of this strange fever which seizes an orphan generation of all combat, of all engagement, which seeks in cynicism, sensuality, easy pleasure, or melancholic fanaticism, its salvation is ie an arrangement with life.
Les caprices de Marianne is a great incandescent work of French romanticism. And the heroes of this fable, gone for a comedy, respond to the drama. This piece is, today as always, the cry, the dazzling outburst of a youth against their lifestyle.
The play was written in Paris in 1833, set against an imaginary Naples.
The show will take place in 1930 with a real Ajaccio as a backdrop.
The beginning of the 20th century was for Corsica a period of great social upheavals and the interwar period saw a massive exodus of local mafia wanting to assert their power in the metropolis in Marseilles and Paris mainly.
Those who stayed on the island may have been left behind by this archaic society, and it is with them that we will be interested.
Alain LEEMPOEL.
