Text and performance by Lucas Vuilleumier, directed by Brigitte Rosset. This poignant, often comic solo explores a sentimental, devout narrator who constantly hums old songs and grows up by observing the women around him: bourgeois grandmothers, eccentric pastors, colorful aunts. Through delicate mimicry and intimate storytelling, the piece celebrates female expression, faith and longing, tracing the performer’s resemblance to his mother and his affectionate obsession with Céline Dion.

An adaptation of Jusque dans nos bras, this theatrical staging follows Alice—half Kabyle, half Norman—and Mad, her childhood friend returned from Mali, as they confront hostile immigration procedures and social exclusion. The play blends narrative, direct address and collective performance: voices multiply, perspectives intersect and an ensemble becomes a space of solidarity, joy and resistance. Intimate choices become political acts, exploring identity, belonging and youthful refusal to resign.

The production honours the original text by Matthieu Delaporte and Alexandre de La Patellière.
