Théâtre Athénée Louis Jouvet

By Jean Cocteau
Directed by Jean-Pierre Dusséaux
Set design and costumes Yves Saint Laurent.
Cast Martine Chevalier, Jean Faubert, Geneviève Page, Hugues Quester, Malek Eddine Kateb, Roland Bertin

Thirty two years after Christian Bérard, Yves Saint Laurent took on the task of “dressing” The Eagle Has Two Heads, the romantic drama by Jean Cocteau, reprised at the Athénée Louis Jouvet Theater.

His taste for sumptuous orientalism has found free rein. [...] The other characters, including Stanislas, the anarchist, have the decidedly modern costumes of executives from the period between the two world wars. As for the set design, Yves Saint Laurent has alternated between Baroque - for the queen's chambers - and more stylized lines for the library in the second act.
