Caroline Vigneaux Reinvents Corneille's 'Le Cid' at Théâtre Hébertot

Caroline Vigneaux presents a modern, humorous adaptation of Pierre Corneille's classic play 'Le Cid' at the Théâtre Hébertot in Paris. The production runs from September 18, 2026, to January 3, 2027, with performances on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays at 7 PM, and Sundays at 3:30 PM. The show lasts 1 hour 30 minutes, with ticket prices ranging from 15 to 42 euros. Vigneaux rewrites the 17th-century tragedy in alexandrines, infusing it with contemporary humor and energy, while preserving the original plot's core: the dilemma of Rodrigue, who must choose between family honor and love for Chimène. The adaptation incorporates songs by French rapper MC Solaar, aiming to make the classic accessible to younger audiences. The Théâtre Hébertot is located in the 17th arrondissement of Paris (75017).
