The metamorphoses of a woman
A universal and timeless tale, Peau d’Âne (‘Donkeyskin’) is the portrait of a woman who shapes her own destiny amid the harshness of the world. Baroque actress Alexandra Rübner and gambist Claire Gautrot explore all the transformations along this path to freedom, returning to the origins of the tale and Perrault’s musical language. A poetic and baroque journey for young and old alike, in the unique setting of the Lanterne Magique.
