In “L’Aquarium,” Calaferte delves into the monotony and routine of a couple after many years together. Set during a fall evening, this comedy highlights how former passionate partners become unable to surprise each other, trapped in their daily lives much like fish swimming in circles in an aquarium. The humor emerges from everyday situations, skillfully captured by the author.

26 September – 5 October

Trois mecs au bol is a surreal, offbeat creation by Lorin Kopp, Steven Matthews, and Mirko Verdesca, who also perform on stage. Blending absurd humour, music, and a touch of the grotesque, the show questions what it means to grow up in a world where absurdity has become the new normal. Written “à plat tôt” by three clowns unaware of their own kinship, it’s a three-voiced chant to tame their demons – and perhaps yours, the one that slowly creeps in and gnaws from the inside.

In French.

17 September – 5 October

Les Gros patinet bien is a wildly inventive comedy featuring just two performers and 150 cardboard boxes. The show follows a plump, Shakespearean-style storyteller who narrates a chaotic European escape tale while remaining seated, and his hyperactive, silent sidekick who acts out the entire journey around him. With roller skates, scooters, planes, and even a mule, the duo creates a hilarious, high-energy performance full of physical comedy, absurdity, and imagination. This clever mix of stillness and motion earned the show the 2022 Molière Prize for Best Public Theatre.

In French.

18 September – 5 October

Illusions by Ivan Viripaev is a witty and heartfelt comedy exploring the secret lives of two long-married couples. As they reveal past indiscretions, hidden desires, and untold stories, laughter and emotion intertwine, prompting reflections on love, trust, and the delicate balance of long-term relationships. Enhanced by live cello and viola, this playful yet profound piece holds up a mirror to the joys and complexities of intimate life.

In French.
