Event
Show “Glorious!”
“Glorious!” recovers one of those stories so improbable that they can only be real. On stage is Florence Foster Jenkins, a woman convinced she was born for musical glory, although her voice says exactly the opposite. With unwavering faith and infectious energy, Florence pursues her dream without heeding criticism, mockery or evidence, until she reaches New York’s most prestigious stage: Carnegie Hall.
About this event
The comedy written by Peter Quilter paints a portrait as absurd as it is human. Faced with the protagonist’s excessive ambition, friends and family deploy every kind of strategy to protect her illusion without breaking it. The result is a succession of absurd and endearing situations where humour coexists with tenderness.
Beyond the laughs, Glorious! speaks of the power of believing in oneself, even when talent is conspicuously absent. It celebrates unfiltered passion, the courage to expose oneself and the strange dignity born when someone decides to pursue their dream to the end, whatever the cost.
