Roger Defossez adapts Maupassant's "Les Petites femmes" at Lucernaire

Roger Defossez's adaptation of Guy de Maupassant's "Les Petites femmes de Maupassant" is running this summer at the Lucernaire theater in Paris. The production features four actresses portraying a mosaic of heroines—some intriguing, some naive—who share their secrets of love with humor and finesse. The show presents Maupassant as funny, sensual, and unexpected, with a tender irony that captures human relationships. Critics have praised it: Le Point called it "The modernity of Maupassant," Télérama noted "A reinvented comedy that highlights the lightness of women, their taste for love and sensuality," and Arts-Chipels described it as "An adaptation that reveals a nonconformist Maupassant, with a biting and delicately jubilant irony." The piece is a partner event of Club Artistik Rezo.
