Created 5 years ago by Axel Drhey, Roland Bruit, Bertrand Saunier, Paola Secret and Yannick Laubin, the company Les Moutons Noirs, that gathers many talents, imaginative minds and visions, offers its multidiscipline artists the possibility to express their singularity and their creativity.
In 2010, Les Moutons Noirs adapt ‘The Miser‘ with a modern staging, dealing with modern issues such as old age or Alzheimer’s disease, while remaining faithful to the original play. Les Moutons Noirs surprise us and give us a modern and original adaptation of Moliere’s piece.
In 2012, they explore the Russian literature and present “About Love”, Three stories by Anton Chekhov: The Proposal, On the Harmful Effects of Tobacco and The Bear. Thanks to a new translation by Virginie Symaniec and a staging inspired by popular theater, Les Moutons Noirs boldly mix the crazy Russian mind and the incisive frivolity of Italy in a dark and absurd comedy where madness and brutality balance perfectly.
Les Moutons Noirs impose their style and share a common idea: explore comedy as much as tragedy, without limitations or boundaries, revisit great stories and great writers, and tell stories with modesty and panache.
