Produced by Maress and COXOG Karpet, Og Karpet First Date assembles a charged lineup: 26Keuss, Trafalgar, Awuni, McMaams and Mohciss. The performance moves between US and French R&B, rap, Afro rhythms and Shatta energy, blending polished grooves with raw street intensity. Tight vocal exchanges, layered production and call-and-response sequences foreground communal dance and a nocturnal, electric atmosphere. The staging favours close interaction and club-oriented dynamics.
Written and directed by Raphaëlle Farman, this musical comedy follows six eccentric lottery winners whose most improbable dreams suddenly come within reach. With the charismatic show host Macha and the scheming production director Florence, the ensemble embarks on escapades that leap from Arthurian chivalry to the surface of the moon. A troupe of spirited performers animates comic tableaux, while playful staging, brisk choreography and bursts of onstage magic create an exuberant, nostalgic atmosphere that celebrates imagination and folly.
