About
Step into the evocative world of 1860s Japan with the stage adaptation of Soie at Le Funambule Montmartre. This performance follows the journey of Hervé Joncour, a Frenchman traveling to the East to secure silkworm eggs, whose life is permanently altered by a clandestine and consuming romance. Exploring themes of impossibility, obsession, and the elusive nature of happiness, this production offers a deeply sensory theatrical experience. Suitable for audiences aged 14 and older, the venue is fully wheelchair accessible. Join us in the 18th arrondissement for this compelling exploration of human passion and longing scheduled throughout the winter season.
Around 1860, Hervé Joncour makes four trips to Japan to buy silkworm eggs. In this distant and dangerous country, he falls madly in love with a beautiful stranger, an encounter that will change his life.
Silk speaks of impossible loves, sensuality, obsession, and “the happiness we flee for fear it might run away…”
