Le Poche Cabaret II | Le chant des bruants fous

Booking Required

Directed by Lou Ciszewski, Amours enfouies follows three performers — Françoise Paca Gautier, Liv Van Thuyne and Pascale Vachoux — as they excavate the memory of a vanished summer cabaret. Blending ritual, live music (Léon Boesch, Romane Chantre, Alexis Gfeller) and emotional archaeology, Anna Popek’s set and Luc Gendroz’s lighting bring back ghosts and overlooked fragments. A sensitive, poetic piece about the traces of the past and the emergence of an unexpected new bond.

In French.

The three actors — Estelle Bridet, Matteo Prandi and Raphaël Vachoux — inhabit heightened character types that shift between farce and darker comic truth, creating a sharply observed, kinetic evening.
