The Comédie-Française occupies a crucial place in cultural life, fascinating authors, directors, actors and the public. In 1993 the Vieux-Colombier theater, founded by Jacques Copeau, joined the Salle Richelieu and, three years later, the Studio-Théâtre was created, in reference to Stanislavski's experimental Moscow art theater. The company tackles repertoires outside the mainstream and reaches new audiences. Its legacy is thus ensured, while preparing the theater of tomorrow. This beautifully illustrated book offers a secret and subtle history of the three spaces. A walk to the Palais-Royal, where the Comédie-Française has been based since the Revolution, to Saint-Germain-des-Prés, inhabited by the shadow of Copeau, Dullin and Jouvet, and to the Carrousel du Louvre, where the architect Michel Sené joined the Studio-Théâtre. This book allows you to discover the architecture and the sets, and to visit the dressing rooms, the backstage area and the stages at the heart of the theater.
