Main basse sur la Joconde, Theatre performance at Parc Asterix in Plailly, France
Main basse sur la Joconde is a theatrical show at Parc Asterix where actors perform an adventure about a plot to steal the Mona Lisa from a cargo ship. The stage features a replica cargo ship and a railway track where the action unfolds in a port setting.
The show was created in 1996 and is set in a 1930s port where the Mona Lisa was supposed to be transported to New York. This time period and fictional transport plan form the backdrop for the entire theatrical concept.
The performance blends French theatrical traditions with action sequences, featuring Marcel, a naive painter who becomes an unexpected hero during the heist. The audience experiences how the characters interact with comedy and physical gags throughout the story.
The show takes place under a covered stage area with seating for around 2,000 spectators and offers good sightlines for the action. You should arrive early to find a good viewing spot and get oriented with the layout before performances begin.
The show features professional stunt performers who execute choreographed action sequences and explosions, making it far more than a simple theatrical performance. These live stunts give each show a real sense of danger that sets it apart from traditional theatre.
