The Regina Maria Theater announces the premiere of the show COLIVIA NEBUNER, by Jean Poiret, directed by Daniel Vulcu, which will take place on Friday, December 16, at 7:00 PM at the Great Hall.
Jean Poiret, by his original name Jean-Gustave Poiré (August 17, 1926, Paris – March 14, 1992, Paris), is a big name in French cinema and theater. He was a theater and film actor, author of numerous plays and scripts that were transformed into successful films. He worked in collaboration with great directors such as François Truffaut (Le Dernier Métro) and Claude Chabrol (Inspecteur Lavardine), leaving behind many memorable roles. Regarding his work in theater, Jean Poiret remains known as an important representative of boulevard theater. He wrote and performed several successful plays, the most famous of which are: The cage of fools, Happy holidays! and Duck with oranges.
The cage of fools (The cage of fools) is the text that established him as an author, through which he returns to the source of his comic verve: cabaret humor. The original production of the play took place at the Théâtre du Palais-Royal on February 1, 1973, with Jean Poiret himself in the cast, who played one of the main roles. The comedy was enthusiastically received by critics, which had over 2,000 performances over time, inspired several films and was adapted into a Tony Award-winning Broadway musical.
Georges, the manager of a flamboyant drag club, and Jeannot, the club's star performer, have been happily married for 15 years in Saint-Tropez. When their son decides to get married, the gay couple is faced with an unexpected challenge: will the fiancée's ultra-conservative parents accept their orientation, or should they lie to them?
