Description
Cie Jacques Biagini
Destined—were they both destined? That is indeed the story Jean Destin tells us, through the correspondence between Marcel Pagnol and Jules Raimu. Through their personal writings, we relive with them the behind-the-scenes story of a friendship that gave rise to some of the finest works of 20th-century theater and cinema.
With imaginative, contemporary, and dynamic staging, we journey through all the places where their lives unfolded: on stage, of course, but above all in dressing rooms, offices, restaurants, bars, and on the street…
Through these small stories, the larger narrative emerges: from the creation of *Marius* for the stage to the birth of talkies, or even the difficulties encounteredduring the filming of *La Femme du boulanger*, all the way to World War II, which turned everything upside down. We also discover the accolades: at the Comédie-Française for one and at the Académie française for the other.
The story of a life, the story of a duo, the story of the 20th century.
