The first time actor Romain Daroles played Phaedrus! He did it in a high school classroom, before the eyes of expectant students who didn't know what this boy was doing talking about the work of Jean Racine. The show, written by Swiss director François Gremaud (Bern, 1975), was initially conceived as a performative lecture to introduce this classic to teenagers; in fact, for four years it toured Swiss high schools. Its success in the classroom propelled the play into the mainstream theater circuit, and from there it continued to take off: in 2019 it was performed at the Avignon Festival and now it arrives in Barcelona, ​​in a Spanish premiere this Wednesday at the Library Theater as part of the Flaix de Tardor festival, and will be performed in French with a cover letter. "It has been performed more than 500 times. It's a very well-staged production that explains Phaedra "In a different way, with a sense of humor and accessible to everyone," summarizes Narcís Puig, artistic director of Flash de Otoño.
