Arsène Lupin: who is this intriguing character?
Arsène Lupin is a fictional character created by Maurice Leblanc. Endowed with his own unique strength, he has the remarkable ability to use makeup to create a grimace;
he then takes advantage of these artifices to embody different characters… This is why we know him under various pseudonyms: Raoul Andrésy, Maxime Bermond, or even Rostat.
All these different identities allowed him to lead a double life, keeping his first name to sign his misdeeds.
In his very first appearance, published in 1907, he presents himself as the thief of one of Queen Marie Antoinette's valuable necklaces. Later, we find him involved in various other incidents, including burglaries of banks, museums, and villas.
Note, moreover, that Sherlock Holmes himself never managed to catch him…
In literature, cinema, and theatre, the adventures of this character, made famous by his high-flying acrobatics,
have been revisited many times.
Although they were interrupted at the same time as the death of its creator, we find them again in 2004 in the film with
Romain Duris , as well as in 2021 on the Netflix streaming platform in the series
Lupin
(Omar Sy) .
But at the Laurette Theatre, we have a completely different adventure to offer you… Between magic and mentalism, follow in the footsteps of the gentleman thief
embodied by Jean-Michel Lupin !
