Le Porteur d’Histoire

November 13-15, 2026
The Calderwood Pavilion - Boston

🇫🇷 Performed in French with English captions.

On a rainy night, deep in the Ardennes, Martin Martin must bury his father. He is far from imagining that the discovery of a handwritten notebook will lead him on a dizzying quest through History and continents.

Fifteen years later, in the heart of the Algerian desert, a mother and daughter disappear mysteriously.

They have been drawn in by the tale of a stranger, searching for a heap of books marked with a strange chalice and a colossal treasure accumulated through the ages by a legendary secret society.

A Creation by Alexis Michalik, a celebrated, multi-Molière Award-winning French playwright, director, and actor, often dubbed the "wunderkind" of contemporary French theater.
