Candide

About the show

Candide travels from Westphalia through war, Lisbon, Paris, Buenos Aires, Eldorado, Suriname and Venice, repeatedly confronting disasters that undermine Dr. Pangloss’s optimism. After losing and finding Cunegonde amid the upheavals, Candide rejects the promise that all is for the best and resolves to build a meaningful life with the others through practical work.
