Belle Époque - pleasures and pleasures the golden age – the open terraces of Parisian cafes with fragrant bitter coffee, charming ladies in crews, the glittering lights of countless Montmartre cabaret signs. And at the center of all this luxury, of course, is the Comédie-Française and the "divine Sarah".
The Parisian audience literally dies with her characters at every performance! And the fame of the great tragic actress Sarah Bernard is already echoing all over the world.
Everyone is talking about her, trying to imitate her by copying her style and manners, she is adored and hated, unable to explain the secret of her stunning success. But does the magical power of the actress lie only in technically perfect performance, her seductive plasticity or in the "golden harp voice"? the image of the seductress, adding new shocking details to the fire of rumours gales.
Only two types of men gathered around the actress: either they are her lovers, or she is the Muse of these men. Oscar Wilde dedicated "Salome" to her, Alfons Mucha created a cycle of posters, she whirled like a vortex over the lives of Edmond Rostan and Marcel Proust. Oh yes, Victor Hugo. He too could not resist.
The scandalous reputation, the extravagant passions hypnotized the public and kept the journalists in suspense. Familiarity with some of them is still ahead of you. It's true, the poor crocodile drank too much champagne, while the python woke up in time and got a bullet in the forehead, but the cheetah will be seen in all its beauty.
So, Paris in 1896. Let's dive into the sweet madness of a great era. Sarah Bernard is at the peak of her fame, the unbeaten theater star once again challenges the rules and prejudices.
However, you are already familiar with her and understand that this is not a biopic, but another legend that will open the curtain and reveal some unknown the facts of the actress's life.
It will be difficult to understand what is really a lie, a fantasy, and what is a real fact. But maybe it's just a woman, a real woman with all her doubts and contrasts. With all her wings and sharp claws. And flattering, and gentle, and sweet, and unfaithful. With the dexterity of a predator and the dexterity of a zalksh, the secret of which even contemporaries have not managed to remember! Divine Sarah. Sarah Bernard.
