Theater – “Mon Ami La Fontaine”
Saturday, January 20, 2024, at 8:30 PM, Théâtre des Variétés
Among all the enlightened minds of the 17th century, sketched and maintained by Nicolas Fouquet, and that would have illuminated the king’s sun with a thousand lights, here is the most eminent mind, with a talent passed down by Louis XIV, to give voice to a dozen of La Fontaine’s boldest fables, in front of a young monarch eager for his power. Without forgetting that the author of The Grasshopper and the Ant was the only one of these great minds to support his friend Fouquet and regularly ask the king for his grace, in vain.
