A Ludwine Deblon creation, staged by Stéphane Georis
Through books, letters and crumpled pages, follow the career of Erasmus, the rebellious young monk who wanted to live by his pen. Learn with him how to unmask the folly of the world, tell the most powerful in society a few home truths, while simultaneously escaping the Inquisition (which could be useful). Take a headlong dive, through ink and paper aplenty, into the dreaded 16th century.
Dates : upon request
