Requiem pour du pognon

REQUIEM POUR DU POGNON is a musical comedy that unfolds as a blackly comic inheritance farce. After the death of wealthy entrepreneur Marcel, a large, fractious family gathers to read the will: a humiliated widow, a lovesick secretary, an avaricious mistress, a dull son, neurotic daughters and grasping cousins. Songs, ensemble numbers and moments of karaoke expose secrets, rivalries and petty betrayals, shifting between biting satire and tender absurdity while the stage pulses with chaotic, carnival-like energy.

In French.

Bold and poetic, “Insuline” is a powerful denouncement of virilist and heteronormative excesses.

Created collectively by the company À l’Ouest with Guillaume Pidancet, this inventive staging reimagines Charles Perrault’s Bluebeard for families. Performed in a mobile truck‑theatre that becomes a ‘suitcase of dreams,’ the production blends playful storytelling, poetic imagery and close‑up interaction to transform a dark tale into a gentle exploration of curiosity and trust. The intimate ensemble features Pierre Boulben, Hugo Braillard and Loubna Raigneau.

Directed as an in situ promenade, this performance follows two protagonists, P. and B., through the city’s hidden seams. B. conspires to seed an exuberant vegetal uprising, mastering invasive plants to unsettle urban order. P. slips into the city’s blind spots, picking locks and slipping through barriers to reveal alternative ways of inhabiting public space. The show mixes physical theatre, poetic staging and ecological imagination to explore rewilding, intimacy and civic subversion.

Ronchon l’teigneux is a spirited adaptation of Menander’s Dyskolos by the Groupe de Théâtre Antique de l’Université de Neuchâtel.

The ensemble favours physical humour, tight timing and convivial tableaux to explore stubbornness, love and comic misunderstandings, culminating in a communal-feast atmosphere that amplifies the play’s social warmth.
