Brief Summary:
Story of life and adventures of the most controversial French medieval poet Francois Villon. Fortune, being the allegorical storyteller and the main Lady in Villon’s life follows him through years, until the very end. The story embraces Villon’s student years, his acquaintance with the “wrong people”, wanderings, suffering, constant search for his place in this world and his own true self. During this search the poet leaves five women who loved him most, each and every one of them in her own way. The musical develops with the help of original Ballades that reflect the events and revelations of the poet throughout his life.
