The Origins

The musical “Surcouf, Roi des Corsaires” is no exception to the rule, and Charles Tharaux, a well-known Malouin who created the shows “Cœurs en Chœur” and “Fourmi’zik”, is behind this ambitious project. Holding the reins of the production company Taro Productions, he has been thinking about a new show for a while now… 3 years! – It’s one thing to have the idea, but now it’s time to set up the event. The location is perfect: the Palais du Grand Large in Saint-Malo. In the spring of 2021, the ads and castings began to roll in. The production is looking for talented singers, actors and dancers, in short, they are looking for THE Nuggets! Out of 300 applications, only 15 talents are selected to go through the auditions and the chosen ones, those who will interpret the main roles, are presented during the summer: Elisa Lys in the role of Adele, Eric Jetner in the role of Virgil, Axelle Porteu in the role of Marie-Catherine and Cédric Chupind in the role of Surcouf.and so at the end of the year 2021, in December, the artists present a series of showcases and the ticketing is launched!
