Description
Jacques Prevert - Children of Paradise
The novel Children of Paradise (Les Enfants du paradis), which inspired Marcel Carné's immortal 1945 film of the same name, brings to life the vibrant world of 19th-century French theater. It captures the era when pantomime and melodrama thrived side by side, enjoying equal popularity through the artistry of renowned performers Jean-Gaspard Deburau and Frédérick Lemaître (fictionally portrayed as Baptiste Tabureau and Frédéric Leprince). Jacques Prévert's screenplay, deeply inspired by the theatrical tradition, vividly and impressively depicts the theatrical world of the time. Its natural inclusion in the Stage series highlights its poetic realism, where life and theater intertwine seamlessly. Prévert's work reflects the drama and absurdity of the human condition, portraying life as an enduring comedy on and off the stage.
