Olympe(s): Olympe de Gouges Takes the Stage at La Scala Paris
Written by Rachel Arditi and Justine Heynemann, who also directs, Olympe(s) brings the revolutionary figure Olympe de Gouges to the stage at La Scala Paris with a cast of ten actor-singers and pop-rock arrangements by Manuel Peskine. De Gouges fought first to have her plays performed at the Comédie-Française before authoring the Declaration of the Rights of Woman and of the Female Citizen, a stance for which she was executed. The production team behind PUNK.E.S returns for this new work. Performances run from 7 November to 31 December 2026 at 17h or 21h depending on the date, with a duration of 1h50, suitable for audiences aged 10 and up, and tickets priced from 14 to 48 euros. La Scala Paris is located at 13 boulevard de Strasbourg, 75010 Paris, near the Strasbourg–Saint-Denis metro station served by lines 4, 8 and 9. The show also appears in the publication's selection of new theatre productions.
