Fantasio's name says it all: with a good dose of wacky, creative energy, the student navigates her way through every precarious situation. In the end, she has to save the singer Theres from a ill-fate marriage deal and expose the dirty tricks of a private investor. Director Anna Weber transforms Offenbach's operetta into an ode to theatre, set between street riots, demolition parties and a sparkling fantasy word.
