TEXT FOR THE ROOM PROGRAM:

     Is there a marriage more famous than that of Figaro? Yet the wedding of Figaro with Suzanne, which seems imminent at the curtain raiser, is not celebrated at the end. This is how Beaumarchais emancipates himself from a genre convention! Their union is made and undone during the crazy day, engaging power games between the valet and his libertine master, jeopardizing the union of Count Almaviva with the Countess, stirring up the world of the castle and mobilizing the vivacity of the a former barber from Seville who is in a hurry to laugh at everything, for fear of being obliged to cry.  

     Room  founder of the French scene through its genre innovations and scenographic inventiveness, La Folle Journée or Le Mariage De Figaro enlisted in its plot the creativity of a troupe of 28 high school students, who brave the complexity of this undertaking with an economy of means .
