Iconic performer Victoria Abril returns to the Paris stage with Marinella, a new creation by Franck Buired. Playing at the Théâtre de la Madeleine, this comedy promises to delight fans of boulevard theater. Between artistic dilemmas and satire of the advertising world, prepare for a funny and touching evening.
Painting for passion, without compromise, is the credo of Claudia, the main character in Marinella. Supported by a devoted husband who admires her talent, Claudia aspires to make a living from her art without taking the easy way out. But everything changes when a famous sardine company, Marinella, offers her a tidy sum to use her work in their advertising campaigns. The dilemma is clear: to remain faithful to his artistic integrity or to give in to the siren call of money?
The play, custom-written by young playwright Franck Buired, light-heartedly explores the contradictions facing today's creative artists. Claudia, a whimsical, idealistic painter, becomes the symbol of this struggle between artistic purity and economic pragmatism.
Already a favorite in the film world, Victoria Abril has established herself as a star of French boulevard theater . In the role of Claudia, she deploys all her charm and vivacity, portraying a passionate but slightly offbeat artist confronted with the most incredible situations. Her magnetic presence promises to turn every line into a moment of laughter and emotion.
Audiences will also enjoy a fast-paced staging, punctuated by chiselled dialogue and hilarious twists and turns. The set evokes both the artist's bohemian world and the glitz and glamour of advertising campaigns.
This play promises to be a veritable hymn to creativity and perseverance, while offering a satirical and sparkling look at the modern world. The story, both universal and contemporary, will resonate with art lovers as well as those who enjoy fine, well-written comedy.
With the talents of Victoria Abril, the lively pen of Franck Buired and the promise of a dynamic staging, Marinella promises to be a must-see for springtime theater in Paris.
