Co-written with Joseph Méry and Bernard Lopez, L’Imagier de Harlem is in a certain way the culmination of Gérard de Nerval’s work for the theater. This “drama-legend,” staged at the Porte-Saint-Martin in 1851, aims to be both a popular show for a wide audience and an extraordinarily ambitious synthesis of the experiments in theater that Gérard had done up to that point. It is also an attempt to push the boundaries of the dramatic form by reconciling literary theater and large-scale spectacle.
