Marie-Armelle Deguy Brings Young Simone de Beauvoir to Life at Théâtre de la Ville
Marie-Armelle Deguy performs a solo staging drawn from Simone de Beauvoir's memoirs and youthful notebooks at the Théâtre de la Ville – Sarah Bernhardt in Paris. The production, titled "Deux trois choses qu'elle nous dit d'elle," runs from December 1 to 19, 2026, in the venue's Studio space. Deguy traces the arc of Beauvoir's early life, moving from an enchanted little girl to a young woman hungry for emancipation, gradually letting a deeper, more reflective voice emerge — that of a woman looking back. Marcel Bozonnet co-directs the staging of this creation. Performances begin at 20h and last 1h15, with tickets priced from 5 to 25 euros. The opening dates are sold out, and additional performances have been added on December 16, 18 and 19. The venue is located at 75004 Paris. The production is part of the Parisian theater season covered in arts-in-the-city's cultural agenda.
