After its Théâtre du Vieux-Colombier premiere, Guy Cassiers’ new production is going on a two-month tour. Racine’s Bérénice, which premiered in 1680 at the Comédie-Française, has not been performed by the Troupe in over ten years. The actors are happily setting off to spread Racine’s sublime verses and utterly modern stakes over France and Europe.

Premiere on March 26, 2025 at the Théâtre du Vieux-Colombier
