Claudine (j’aime pas l’bonheur)

Performances

Requiem pour du pognon

Performances

Théâtre de la Madeleine

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.

Musique à Pont-Rouge: Le Thierryble

Performances

Place de Pont-Rouge

Led by Thierry Courlet (voice, piano, compositions), Le Thierryble revisits 1960s–70s rock with French-language lyrics that blend bittersweet poetry and wry paranoia. Electric guitars give way to cello and delicate arrangements by Vartan Baonian, while Maëllie’s vocal textures and percussion colour the sound. Influences such as Pink Floyd, the Beatles and Genesis surface without pastiche, creating melancholic, cinematic moments. Presented within the Musique à Pont-Rouge programme in collaboration with FA-MI, the set feels intimate and reflective.
