Pop energy, raw intensity, a touch of animality, and playful shifts in force. With live music and dancers moving around the audience, the beat spreads—visceral and physical.

Following Napoleon’s defeat, Talleyrand and Fouché meet in Paris to determine France’s future—whether it will be a republic or a monarchy. During a private dinner, they engage in a heated debate: Fouché advocates for the republic, while Talleyrand aims to restore the Bourbons, requiring Fouché’s support. The evening is filled with revelations and confrontations against a backdrop of external turmoil.
