VICTOR HUGO, MY LOVE
A true love story full of twists and turns that fiction wouldn't dare imagine, one of the most beautiful of all time: that of Juliette Drouet and Victor Hugo, who loved each other for half a century and exchanged 23,650 love letters. This show, composed entirely of their writings, illustrates, in a series of scenes, the key moments of their personal, literary, and political lives.
The great poet loved the princess of the theater. Jealous, he asked her to give up the stage. Out of love, she agreed: "Write to me," he told her, "write to me every day, everything that crosses your mind, everything that makes your heart beat faster."
This is the origin of the marvelous correspondence that Juliette and Victor left us as a legacy of their love. From their words, Anthéa Sogno composed this piece which illustrates the great moments of their love, literary and political life.
