Paul de Saint Sernin’s stand-up programme, written and performed by the artist, blends sharp comedic timing with candid memories of adolescence, humiliations and personal fears. Directed by Grégoire Dey, the staging relies on intimate storytelling, subtle physicality and pared-down mise-en-scène to turn vulnerability into laughter. The show plays with rhythm and self-questioning, offering a warm yet probing portrait of growing up in a voice both confessional and wry.

Two unexpected deities arrive by bicycle, guided by a capricious GPS, carrying a very serious object: the Wheel of Fortune. They need the audience—especially children—to spin the wheel and together invent a story about a child to whom nothing seems to go right. Misfortunes pile up, luck sticks to the sneakers and solutions must be imagined. A participatory musical tale where chance and imagination shape a different story each time.
