Bianco, ou L'homme Invisible is a melodrama in three acts by Philippe Alexandre Louis Pierre Plancher-Valcour (called Aristide Valcour; ca. 1751-1815)


The original text

Performed at the Théâtre de la Cité, published by Barba 1803


Translations and adaptations

Translated into Dutch as Bianko, of De Onzichtbare Man (also Bianko, of De Onzigtbare Man).

Bosman, 1928[1] refers to it, rather tantalizingly, as Blanko, of De Onzigtbare Man - possibly because the author of the programme he was using had misread the title.

Performances in South Africa

1843: Performed on 1 September as Blanko, of De Onzigtbare Man (Anon) in Cape Town by Door Yver Vruchtbaar, with Vier Schildwachten op éénen Post (Voge).

1843: Performed in Cape Town on 6 October in Dutch by Door Yver Vruchtbaar, as Blanko, of De Onzigtbare Man with De Horoskooptrekker, of De Speculant in Effecten (Hanegraaff).
