Theatre – “Changer l’eau des fleurs” – Valérie Perrin
In “Changer l’eau des fleurs”, (changing the water for the flowers) Valérie Perrin tells the story of Violette Toussaint, a cemetery caretaker in Burgundy. This stage adaptation of the novel of the same name tells the story “of a woman who, despite her hardships, stubbornly believes in happiness. With her rare talent for making the ordinary exceptional, the novelist creates a world full of poetry and humanity around this everyday fairy.” Already performed in several French theatres, the play by Ludivine de Chastenet and Mikaël Chirinian is “a hymn to life,” according to Le Figaro. The main character, “played by Caroline Rochefort, is an ordinary, sensitive heroine who you can’t help but love.”
