Summary/Abstract: The paper deals with the plays Colombe and Le Nombril by the French playwright and director Jean Anouilh (1910-1987) and their stagings at the Comédie des Champs-Elysées by Michel Fagadau (2010 and 2011 respectively) on the occasion of the 100th birthday of the author. Anouilh’s place in French theatre history is briefly described and the question raised what plays can be of interest to a contemporary audience.
