ABOUT
The multiple disguises present throughout La Cenerentola are used to reveal the true essence of beings. This production is stripped of all supernatural aspects, but not of the magic – the disguises are at the heart of the message. We do not play on the psychoanalytic aspects of the book. On the contrary, we make light of these disguises, playing up a Marivaux state of mind, recognising them as so many ways of displaying, lying, but especially revealing the ridicule in every one of us.
