Through spoken word, contemporary poetry, and raw physicality the “heart-stopping” (New York Magazine) Cyrano seduces in raps and rhymes, using his linguistic brilliance to help another man win the heart of his one true love, championing – above all – his own unbridled love for words.
A genius with language, Cyrano secretly loves the radiant Roxane, but she loves the beautiful but inarticulate Christian. Convinced of his own ugliness, Cyrano offers to act as go-between, setting in motion a poignant and often hilarious love triangle in which each character is torn between the lure of physical attraction and the seductive power of words.
