Directed by Julia Vidit, this bracing staging revisits Pierre Corneille’s Le Menteur as a baroque comedy where appearances rule. Dramaturge Guillaume Cayet shapes a fluid text that slips between the seventeenth century and today, while a versatile ensemble, including Joris Avodo, Marion Duphil, Mégane Ferrat and Adil Laboudi, performs a kaleidoscope of duplicity, desire and social manners. A mirrored set amplifies the play’s games of deception and theatricality.

Join a playful builder who improvises a strange home in a garden. With brave, clever ropes and found objects she moves from one idea to the next, sometimes wild, sometimes stubborn, slowly assembling a surprising structure. Children will watch materials cooperate or resist, feel the rhythm of making, and wonder whether everything will collapse or turn into accidental genius. A lively, physical performance that celebrates imagination, trial and joyful experimentation.
