It is the story of a minor civil servant, Avksenty Ivanovich Proprichtin, a "pen cutter" in a Ministry of Saint Petersburg who suffers from the human condition in general and in particular, falls in love with the daughter of his director.
This extravagant love will plunge him into a madness with fantastical and sinister overtones. In the excess of his true character, he is the legitimate King of Spain, Ferdinand VIII.
From the intimacy of his maid's room to the anonymity of Nevsky Prospect, from the staid atmosphere of the Ministry to the organized chaos of a madhouse, Gogol takes us on a journey to meet a gallery of humble and fantastical characters. Entering the extraordinary intimacy of an ordinary man, the petty rubs shoulders with the celestial, the darkest suffering rubs shoulders with the purest joy.
Proprichtine is funny, violent, touching, unbearable... profoundly human, of all places, of all times.
Directed by: Claude Boué and Stéphane Eichenholc.
Starring: Stéphane Eichenholc. Translated by: Louis Viardot.
Produced by: Cie Le Navire / Cie Arkadia.
