Through the images of its superb machinery, which has now disappeared, and of its deserted architecture, it is the memory of an Italian-style theater that still lives today. Through them, it is also the work of those who worked there in the shadows, and without whom the spectacle could not have existed as we can imagine.

Fascinated by the beauty of its frames, the dilapidated materials, the magic of these mechanisms made of ropes, pulleys, capstans, and narrow gangways like on an antique three-mast, André Soupart invites us to stroll on the grill, under the stage, and behind the scenes and thus discover a universe unknown to spectators.
