It is a hit piece that has been playing for almost eight years. Created at the Comédie-Française, 20000 Leagues Under the Sea, inspired by Jules Verne’s novel, is again at the Porte Saint-Martin theater in Paris until July 23. A piece signed by a duo of living and performing artists, Christian Hecq, actor and Valérie Lesort, visual artist and director. 20000 Leagues Under the Sea was their first baby, since the duo has had a string of successes with obvious complicity and a common taste for invention, humor and poetry.
