1898. On the evening of the final performance of *Cyrano de Bergerac*, the prompter, Le Bret, dozes off. When he wakes up, the theater is filled with animals: cats, dogs, a wolf, an owl, a pigeon, a hawk, a rooster, a hen, rats... As for Le Bret, this human being, he embodies Cyrano’s best friend. Is this his dream taking shape before our eyes? Like Noah and his Ark, the prompter’s theater takes us on a journey through this story.
Cyrano is a dog with an unusually large and unsightly snout. A musketeer in the Cadets of Gascony company and a master of the art of poetry, he is in love with his distant cousin, the beautiful and gentle Roxane, a cat with immaculate fur; but she has fallen for Christian, a cheeky Cavalier King Charles Spaniel who has just joined the Cadets, much to Cyrano’s chagrin. Roxane asks Cyrano to watch over her lover. Torn but resigned, Cyrano agrees. Christian is handsome but lacks Cyrano’s eloquence, so Cyrano proposes a pact: he will be the sharp mind, and Christian will remain the charming body. Together, will they succeed in winning Roxane’s heart?
