The Pitch
**Oh Captain, my Captain... This line from the Circle of Dead Poets still resonates. **
After a triumph at the Théâtre Antoine, Le Cercle des Poètes disparus returns to the Théâtre Libre, always with Stéphane Freiss as the magnetic John Keating. This charismatic and iconoclastic teacher inspires his young students to open themselves to life, far from the straitjacket of conventions that their establishment embodies. Moving and contemporary story, the play celebrates friendship, emancipation, transmission at a time when personalities and destinies are being drawn.
A cry for life! A cry for Freedom! Carpe Diem! Carpe Diem !
Our recommendation
"The Circle of Disappeared Poets" is a masterly theatrical adaptation of a cult film that has marked the history of cinema. Stéphane Daurat, known for his sensitive and deep staging, manages to capture the very essence of the original work while breathing new life into it. Robinson Stévenin’s performance as John Keating is particularly remarkable, offering a performance that is both moving and inspiring. The scenography, both sober and evocative, transports the spectator into the austere but mysterious atmosphere of the Welton academy. This piece is a true tribute to the power of poetry and the quest for personal freedom. Don’t miss this exceptional theatrical experience that will make you laugh, cry and reflect deeply on the meaning of life and the strength of dreams.
