About the event
Overview
Edmond Rostand's classic gets a clown makeover in this funny, tender, and deeply human new adaptation.
This new adaptation of Cyrano de Bergerac keeps the bones of the classic story intact: a poet who believes himself unlovable, a beautiful fool who needs help finding the right words, and a woman searching for something real in a world full of performances.
Through clowning and prose, characters trip over their feelings, fight duels, write love letters, tell lies, and desperately try to be understood. Beneath all of it is a question that feels painfully familiar: What does it mean to be truly seen?
Equal parts ridiculous and heartfelt, Cyrano is a celebration of friendship, imagination, and the beautiful mess of being human.
