Les frustrés / Claire Bretécher

Booking Required

Adapted from Claire Bretécher’s eponymous comics and directed by José Lillo, Les frustrés stages a sequence of incisive scenes exploring recurring social relationships: friends, men among themselves, couples and evening gatherings. The quartet of performers — Élodie Bordas, Mélanie Foulon, Felipe Castro and David Gobet — navigate a compact, everyday dramaturgy where sharp comic critique reveals intimate and ideological contradictions. Rinaldo Del Boca’s lighting sculpts the domestic textures of each episode, balancing wit and critical observation.

Une heure de tranquillité

Performances

Théâtre du Crève-Coeur

A darkly comic solo play about obsession and domestic chaos. When Michel finds a rare record he has long sought, he prepares a perfect hour to listen — but family, neighbours and a drip that will wreck the disc steadily intrude. The piece skewers selfishness with sharp humour and precise staging, combining intimate realism and heightened farce to probe human smallness and the desperate desire for solitude.

D’amour et d’eau fraîche

Performances

Théâtre du Loup

Directed by Rémi Dufay, D’amour et d’eau fraîche is a stage adventure that celebrates movement, friendship and the unforeseen. Rémi Dufay and his ensemble probe margins and fragile frames, staging situations that slip away in a deliberately unsteady ceremony. The production blurs reality and magic, carrying the audience through a joyful, rocambolic wandering. A lively, generous performance that refuses stillness and favours continual transformation.
