Published in over 200,000 copies, Peau d'homme is a comic book that has left a lasting impression for its boldness and depth. Set during the Renaissance, the story follows Bianca, a young woman about to be married. But when she discovers a mysterious man's skin inherited from her family, her life takes an unexpected turn. This second skin allows her to metamorphose into a man and explore the world under a different identity, discovering the mysteries of human relationships, freedom and desire.
In this theatrical adaptation, Laure Calamy plays a Bianca who promises to be both strong and vulnerable, delivering a performance that promises to be gripping. A César award-winner and a favorite on the stage, the actress should infuse her character with an emotional depth that promises to captivate audiences. She is accompanied by a talented cast, including Emmanuelle Rivière, Valentin Rolland and Régis Vallée.
Adapted and directed byLéna Bréban, this is a respectful yet innovative reading of the original work. Ben Mazué 's original songs add a moving musical dimension, while Leïla Ka 's choreography reinforces the show's dramatic and poetic intensity.
The set, meanwhile, oscillates between realism and dreaminess, recreating the Renaissance atmosphere while retaining a contemporary aesthetic. This visual and sonic richness makes Peau d'homme a veritable tableau vivant.
The show subtly explores universal and resolutely topical themes: the quest for identity, gender norms, love and freedom. The adaptation succeeds in restoring the humor, depth and poetry of the comic strip, while fully exploiting the possibilities of the theater.
Whether you're a comic book fan, theater buff or simply curious, Peau d'homme is a rare and unmissable experience, brought to you by artists at the top of their game.
Book now to plunge into this fascinating universe where the boundaries between genders and identities are blurred with grace and intelligence.
