La Mare au diable

Discover a theatrical adaptation of La Mare au diable, George Sand's classic, designed for young audiences at the Théâtre du Nord-Ouest. A pastoral fable that addresses timeless themes with poetry.

This creation for young audiences, inspired by George Sand's work, invites spectators on a journey into the heart of the Berry countryside. The story follows Germain, a young widower and ploughman, and little Marie, a shepherdess, in their quest for a new wife for Germain. The show, performed by a cast including Marion Rif or Valentine Neuville, Philippe Hazza and Rémi Picarda, highlights the traditions and customs of 19th-century rural France.

The Théâtre du Nord-Ouest, known for its intimate atmosphere and commitment to the classical repertoire, provides an ideal setting for this play. The staging promises to captivate young spectators while raising awareness among older audiences of the richness of French literature. It's a wonderful opportunity to share a moment of theatre with the family, and to discover or rediscover a foundational text of our literary heritage, delicately adapted to be accessible from a very young age.
