Highlights: Vers les métamorphoses by Étienne Saglio

Autumn continues to bring delightful surprises at the Théâtre du Rond-Point, and Vers les métamorphoses by Étienne Saglio promises to be one of its most enchanting offerings.

 

A master of “new magic”, Étienne Saglio has been crafting a unique universe for several years now, where illusion, poetry, and theatre blend into a total, sensory, and unsettling art form. In this new creation, he conjures the marvelous to explore our relationship with the living world, with animality, and with metamorphosis – a truly mythological theme.

 

On stage, strange figures appear: a giant stag, a wolf, a shifting shadow… Hybrid beings populate the space in an atmosphere between dream and nightmare, without ever slipping into gratuitous spectacle. The transformations, almost organic, emerge from the shadows with hypnotic slowness. Here, the human is no longer the sole master of the stage: he enters into a new world, a world of the invisible, the fantastical, the wild.

 

This theatre of images, of striking beauty, relies on exceptional technical precision and a sense of rhythm akin to choreography. Étienne Saglio develops a language where magic is no longer mere trickery, but a subtle, emotional form of expression. By embracing otherness and the unknown, Vers les métamorphoses invites us to re-enchant our perception of the world.

 

A rare and deeply moving performance, at the crossroads of fairytale, live art, and visual poetry.
Not to be missed this autumn – a poetic, suspended moment that takes us gently beyond reality.

History and Fun Facts about Théâtre du Rond-Point

 

If you ever want to feel the pulse of the French theatre scene, the Théâtre du Rond-Point is the place to be! But which roundabout or "rond-point" is it exactly? It's one of the most famous roundabouts in Paris, located near the Champs-Elysées, smaller than the famous Etoile roundabout under the Arc de Triomphe. Since 1981, it has attracted a host of directors from all over the world and a host of people with a passion for theatre. A major venue for contemporary creation since 1991, the Rond-Point does not programme "what people like, but what they don't yet know they like", according to Jean-Michel Ribes, the theatre's former director. Since 2023, Laurence de Magalhaes and Stéphane Ricordel have taken over the reins of this theatre, which is still rooted in contemporary creation and focuses on living authors.
