THE ENCOUNTER

An intimate audience with France's most famous Queen. In the Goncourt dining room at Drouant, Marie Antoinette welcomes her guests for afternoon tea and Champagne. The conversation reveals the woman behind the sovereign - her tastes, doubts and the court rituals that shaped her destiny.

In the intimacy of a salon, the Queen takes time to tell her story. Beyond gowns, diamonds and court festivities, the encounter asks how a young Austrian archduchess became a sovereign watched and judged by an entire country. Anecdotes and conversation reveal a woman who was admired, contested and profoundly misunderstood.

Tea, pastries and champagne create a setting for an unhurried exchange. The performance brings guests close to the character and turns history into a shared occasion. It suits a private celebration, a family stay or a Paris itinerary seeking an intimate counterpoint to major heritage visits.
