Le Porteur d’Histoire – Alexis Michalik Premiered in 2011 and awarded two Molières in 2014 (Best Author and Best Director), this now-legendary play continues to captivate audiences worldwide. With over 3,500 performances across France and internationally – from San Francisco to Beirut, Nouméa to Tahiti, and now Abu Dhabi – it has become a staple of contemporary French theatre.
Through a wildly imaginative and inventive staging, Le Porteur d’Histoire whisks spectators away on a whirlwind journey through intertwined stories, colorful characters, and ever-shifting times and places. The narrative unfolds like a set of Russian nesting dolls, exploring the enduring power of books and storytelling across the ages.
The actors slip seamlessly from one character to another, from one setting to the next, delivering a breathtaking tale that is at once adventure, historical epic, and tribute to the magic of storytelling.
Synopsis :
On a rainy night in the depths of the Ardennes, Martin Martin buries his father. He has no idea that the discovery of a handwritten notebook will lead him on a dizzying quest across history and continents. Fifteen years later, in the heart of the Algerian desert, a mother and daughter mysteriously disappear, drawn in by the tale of a stranger and the search for a hoard of books marked with a strange chalice – and a colossal treasure accumulated over the centuries by a legendary secret society.
