The Belgian director of this production, Philippe Sireuil, was heavily inspired by Aki Kaurismäki's film version of Henri Murger's novel "Scènes de la vie de Bohème". Kaurismäki's great melancholic, sensitive and totally unpretentious cinematic impressions led Sireuil to picture the state of a "carefree poverty" in which the bohemian students live on the edge of society.

Stage designer Vincent Lamaire has been working closely with Sireuil for years and the key aspect in the set design for both of them was to place the characters in completely realistic surroundings. Furniture and props are only used very sparingly.

Includes a 12-page booklet.
