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.

3 – 5 June

Samir Kennedy and Sean Murray present “It’s got legs!!!!!!” at Maison Saint-Gervais. Their performance delves into economic, social, and intimate precarity by engaging with femininity, masculinity, liminal identities, and queer existentialism. Embracing a DIY aesthetic, recycled objects, and theatrical machinery, they craft a raw microcosm for a bold, subversive revue that explores the dizzying complexity of existence.

Conductor Ferran Gili-Millera leads the municipal wind ensemble through a vivid, eclectic programme that spans cinematic themes, jazz classics and contemporary wind repertoire. The concert juxtaposes works by Thierry Deleruyelle, Marcel Peeters and Jacob de Haan with beloved film melodies from Joe Hisaishi, John Williams and Hans Zimmer, plus jazz arrangements evoking Duke Ellington. The band’s precise dynamics and warm, sustained sonorities shape an emotional arc from playful lyricism to sweeping heroic fanfares, placing the orchestral wind palette at the centre.

21 May – 13 June

Mariés au premier ringard is a sharp, character-driven theatrical comedy that dissects the absurdities of modern relationships with warmth and irony. The staging favors close ensemble interaction, a lean scenography and precise lighting that underline shifting loyalties and comic misunderstandings. Moments of tenderness puncture the satire, inviting reflection on intimacy, identity and the small rituals of coupling. It balances humour and poignancy to produce a lively theatrical pulse.

5 – 6 June

Nina Azoulai delivers a funny, liberating solo show that explores the paths others plan for us and the routes we finally take. With sharp observational humour and candid storytelling, she revisits a life shaped by expectations — a steady job, a reliable partner, children — and the awkward, tender moments that followed when she chose differently. The piece blends intimate confession, precise comic timing and warm audience rapport to examine identity, family and reinvention.
