“The heist at the Louvre helped us a lot”: the show “Arsène Lupin, gentleman illusionist” is a hit

Top hat and black cane in hand, the silhouette of a man stands out in the darkness. It runs along the banks of the Seine, climbs over the roofs of Paris, and stops in front of the Eiffel Tower. When the curtain rises on the stage of the Théâtre des Variétés (Paris, 2nd), the mysterious individual dances the charleston in the opulent lounges of a cruise ship. Every time he turns these ladies around, he steals a necklace. Since the creation of “Arsène Lupin, gentleman illusionist”, recommended from 6 years old, the public has been rushing to follow the adventures of this popular hero, remembered fondly by spectators thanks to Omar Sy in the fiction offered on Netflix since 2021.
