25 years ago, the public discovered a new comedy which would be a great success after Notre Dame de Paris And Romeo and Juliet : The Ten Commandments with the late Daniel Levi
who marked more than one with the title The desire to love. Fans of this cult show will be able to find it on stage from March 2024. For this new version, Pascal Obispo
took back control.
A project which has not been validated at all by Elie Chouraqui who did not fail to share his anger
during his appearance on the show At Jordan’s this Tuesday, October 3.“There is no Chouraqui, no Kamel Ouali, no sets by Giantito Burchiellaro. I wanted this show to be exceptional, I don’t want my show to be damaged. It’s painful for me” pointed out the director. Before adding: “We created a common, collective work, we all worked together… Today, we cannot say: “It’s my music, I redo everything, I take my copyright”, these are things that don’t happen.”
As a result, Elie Chouraqui announced that he had filed a complaint against the production for “copyright infringement, trademark infringement, unfair competition and parasitism”. As indicated the Parisianhe claims 426,000 euros in damages, as well as a ban on this show and the use of the brand.The ten Commandments”, otherwise “heavy penalties“. An attempt at meditation was imposed by the judge and will take place on October 20. If this does not succeed, a pleading hearing will take place on Thursday December 7, 2023 at the Paris judicial court.
A completely different version?

If Pascal Obispo
assured our colleagues that he had not received any documents at the moment, the project still seems to be maintained. On the other hand, contrary to what some fans might think, this is not a return of 10 commandments.Florent Pagny’s friend
thus revealed to Télé-Loisirs: “It’s a new show! It’s not a return of the musical. We’re not doing the same thing again, but another version with a new choreographer, a new director, a new troupe . With the same songs of course, but with new ones”.
Pascal Obispo compared this show to Starmania but that he will propose “something different” with Giuliano Peparini who is in charge of the production. Enough to oust the accusations of his rival.
