“The Idiot” by Fyodor Dostoyevsky in Théâtre Princesse Grace

“The Idiot” (“L’Idiot”) by Fyodor Dostoyevsky with Arnaud Denis, Caroline Devismes, Fabrice Scott and Thomas Le Douarec on Monday 7 May, at 8.30 pm in Théâtre Princesse Grace.

Writing The Idiot, Dostoevsky wanted to represent the positively good man. But what can he do against the vices of society, in the face of passion? Beautifully composed story, rich in extraordinary twists, The Idiot is in the image of Russia, vibrant and disproportionate.

Political manifesto and creed of the author, his work has been and will remain a flagship book, the story of a man tended towards good but harassed by evil.

Thomas Le Douarec proposes a novel adaptation of this text, after a residency at the Princess Grace Theater.
