Written by Elisa Shua Dusapin and directed by Ludovic Chazaud, Le vieil incendie delicately explores the fragile bond between two sisters separated by time, silence, and absence. Fifteen years after their estrangement, they reunite in the family home destined for demolition, where childhood memories and buried wounds resurface. Blending words, gestures, and silence, this poetic and sensory play reveals what still connects us — to loved ones, to places, and to shared memory.

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.

Eugène Ionesco’s “The Bald Soprano” is a quintessential work of absurdist theater, depicting the nonsensical and tedious interactions between two couples, the Smiths and the Martins.
