The Abolition of Privileges - Le Royal Velours Company

What if everything could change overnight? France, summer 1789: a ruined state, stifled reforms, an exasperated people. Then, suddenly, the Night of August 4th. In a few hours at Versailles, young deputies from all over France abolished centuries-old privileges. A dazzling revolution, founding the French nation, brilliantly portrayed by Hugues Duchêne.

Adapted from Bertrand Guillot's novel, The Abolition of Privileges is a breathtaking, funny, and intelligent one-man show, carried by a chameleon-like and virtuoso actor. In a four-sided space, the audience itself becomes the clergy, the nobility, or the third estate. History then emerges, alive, vibrant, and moving. A captivating play that mirrors our current events, which dream of social justice.

Adaptation and direction: Hugues Duchêne.
With: Oscar Montaz and Matéo Cichacki.
