ME GUILLAUME, or in the mind of a Conqueror

Immersive and participatory show by Julie Delaurenti

Authoritative lord, great builder, and fine strategist, William the Conqueror was one of the most powerful monarchs of Western Europe in the Middle Ages.
But who was he really? How does one become William the Conqueror, how does one remain so, and above all, how does one pass on such a legacy?

After the successes of “The Mystery of the Last Duel” and “The Water of the Hills” by Pagnol, the Div'Art company invites the audience to
dive into the mind of the Conqueror and enter into legend.

At the time of his death, William must make his final decision: Choose his heir

Haunted by the ghosts of his past, accompanied by his jesters and the ghost of Matilda, he revisits the episodes that forged his legend: His threatened childhood, his love, his family, the conquest of England...

A tragicomedy where laughter meets emotion, where the jesters defy kings, and where ghosts come to claim their place in History.

William the Conqueror could have been a Shakespearean hero, treated like a King Lear or a Macbeth, tormented by his demons and visions. In these visions, the significant people from his life, both past and present, come to visit him in the form of puppets, animated by the jester and two puppeteers, creating a ghostly, dreamlike, and epic dance all around him.

This show is presented in two forms: an immersive version with four artists on stage and an immersive and participatory version with the local residents.
