Rimbaud - the musical show - Premiere

A first, exactly 135 years to the day after his death — November 10, 2026 November 10, 1891. Arthur Rimbaud dies in Marseille. November 10, 2026. 135 years later, to the day, he returns to the stage. Incandescent poet, rebel adolescent, insatiable traveler, lover of Verlaine, merchant in Africa... Arthur Rimbaud would have needed only a few years of writing to forever revolutionize poetry. Rimbaud – The musical show takes us in his footsteps through his own words, his poems, his travels, his loves, his angers, and his silences. In the intimacy of the Station des Rêveurs, a single actor brings forth the multiple faces that crossed his existence: Rimbaud as a child, young man, and adult, but also his mother, Isabelle, Verlaine, and a whole gallery of real or fantasized characters. Theater, poetry, and original songs mingle to tell the story of the one who wanted to be a seer, burned his youth in writing before abandoning everything, and spent the rest of his existence trying to escape the one he had been. A show that is reborn Rimbaud is also a story that has already lived on stage. Created in a first form several years earlier and performed for nearly 10 years, the show returns today after a long absence. This new version does not simply seek to retake yesterday's show: it recreates it. New dramaturgy, new musical compositions, a new look at the man behind the poet... while retaining what constituted its primary identity: letting Rimbaud be heard by Rimbaud, letting his words cross the theater and confronting the adult man with the adolescent whose work will never cease to pursue him. This re-creation also bears the gaze of one who finds Rimbaud years after having already embodied him. Time has passed for the performer as for the show, allowing us today to approach differently flight, failure, love, money, illness, death, and above all the incredible posterity of a work written almost entirely before the age of twenty. A musical and theatrical journey as close as possible to a man who wanted to reinvent life. To celebrate this re-creation, the Station des Rêveurs will extend Rimbaud's universe right into its bar, with drinks and light snacks imagined around the show, his era, and his travels. Come earlier, grab a bite, have a drink, and enter Rimbaud's universe even before the show begins. Tuesday, November 10, 2026 at 8:00 PM (doors open at 6:30 PM for light snacks) Exceptionally, a discussion about the creation will take place right after the show. Station des Rêveurs – Gare de Schaerbeek Votre ticket + a drink of your choice from the entire selection offered at the bar — free price starting from €25 Please note, very limited seating.
