Adaptation of an iconic tale
On 16 September 2026, Matilde Salvador theatre will host the theatrical adaptation of The Man Who Planted Trees, the story written by Jean Giono in 1953. The play tells the story of Elzéard Bouffier, a shepherd who, alone and far from the world wars, devoted his life to planting trees in a barren region of the French Alps. His efforts transformed the landscape and brought life back to an abandoned territory.
This stage version captures the essence of the original tale: the human capacity to create change through individual actions. The company and cast responsible for the production have not been confirmed, but the brief and symbolic structure of the original is maintained.
