The show that brings to the stage one of the most famous characters in French literature , Gargantua, is being performed at the Théâtre de Poche Montparnasse from January 6 to March 3, 2025 in Paris. Gargantua, François Rabelais' anti-hero, is a great classic adapted for the stage, with a hint of drama, a healthy dose of humor and infinite inventiveness.
Adapted and performed by Pierre-Olivier Mornas at the Théâtre de Poche Montparnasse, the play is a bold and vibrant immersion into the world of Gargantua. The show comes to life before your very eyes: Gargamelle gives birth through the ear to Gargantua, who immediately calls out: "Drink! Anxious to educate his ogre-like son, Grandgousier chooses a tutor, Ponocratès. Ponocratès took on the task of instructing Gargantua in the humanist principles of tolerance and freedom. This instruction would influence Gargantua's attitude when he became king, particularly in his way of waging war.
The play recounts the adventures of the ogre Gargantua with irrepressible verve. The show is a true celebration of the epicureanism and erudition of Rabelais' original work. Alone on stage, Pierre-Olivier Mornas brings this epic to life with infectious energy and spectacular generosity. He metamorphoses, narrates, declaims and has fun with a talent that makes for an unforgettable moment of theater, from January 6 to March 3, 2025, at the Théâtre de Poche Montparnasse!
