A widow (played by Caterina Murino) facing four suitors of different nationalities (played by Vincent Desagnat, Thierry Harcourt, Pierre Rochefort Vincent Deniard). Here is what Parisian Bouffes spectators have discovered since September 10, the date of the premiere of The Cunning Widow. In this play written by Carlo Goldoni and directed by Giancarlo Marinelli, Tom Leeb plays the role of Harlequin, the red thread of the work who has the specificity of not wanting to conquer the heart of the widow Rosaura.
At the end of the play, one of the four suitors is elected by the young woman but without saying who it is (no spoilers here!), Tom Leeb is delighted that love ends up winning the day. This is what the actor, happy to play Harlequin and to offer an atypical entrance, explains in the latest issue of On stage with.
From the legendary stage of Bouffes Parisiens, a few hours before a new performance which still gives it the same leaflet, Tom Leeb confides: “It's the most sincere who wins, it's the real one. It's not money, it's not beauty, it's not what we have, our property, it's what we are deep down and the values we defend.“
Tom Leeb in perpetual search of romance
To the question of whether Tom Leeb does not find his values highlighted in the 18th century by Carlo Goldoni super obsolete, he assures us that no. The artist, son of Michel Leeb, loves his positive, caring values and defends them. “Maybe I'm naive about all of this. I strongly believe that there are many more good people on this earth and per square kilometer than horrible people.“, he admits while claiming to be a great romanticist. But don't expect to see him show up by surprise with a bouquet of flowers in his hand! “Romanticism, there are a thousand ways to express it and I look for it a little every day“, explains Tom Leeb.
To find out which of the French, the Spanish, the Italian or the Spaniard, the widow Rosaura will she choose. Come until November 24 (Tuesday to Friday at 8 p.m., Saturday at 4 p.m. and 8 p.m. and Sunday at 3 p.m.) at Bouffes parisiens to see The cunning widow (Fimalac co-production).
