Barricades, love, sacrifice, and a voice that seems to cut through the silence. At the theater club meeting, together with the musical theater artis nobilis, discuss the world of Victor Hugo and how a massive novel transforms into a fast-paced musical performance.

You will be able to compare your own expectations with what the stage provides and see what decisions help maintain the scale of the novel within the performance. A special pleasure is to catch how the same theme sounds differently in word and voice. Where text works through meaning, music works through tension. That is why final notes sometimes hit the heart more accurately than any quotes. At the end, participants will return to the main question: what remains unchanged in any retelling - the idea, the image of the hero, the sense of justice, or the energy of resistance. After such a meeting, one usually wants to reread the novel or watch the performance more closely, because thoughts arise...
