Career
The success of his little play, staged on the theatrical stage of the city of Toulouse , inspired him to play on the stage of Comedy Francaise . The public accepted the first plays coolly, but in the end, he achieved success with his comedic production of “Egoism” in five acts. The author tried to return to the great traditions of the Italian comedy of characters.
Against Caliava d'Estaund, the French critic Jean-Francois de Lagarpe spoke. He suggested that he play in his little play "English Journalist".
Caliava d'Estaund also had conflicts in the Comedie Francaise. Due to the hostility of the actor Mollet, he was forced to leave this famous institution and began to write books on dramatic art and works inspired by the spirit of free-thinking.
In 1797 he entered the Institute of France , and also took part in the work of the French Academy after its restoration.
