Mathieu Madenian’s fourth solo show mixes observational comedy and gentle tenderness as the performer reflects on becoming a father later in life. Drawing on the arrival of his son Milo, now two, he interrogates contemporary anxieties—asking ‘Why have a baby in a world that’s burning?’—and transforms doubt into humour and warmth. The piece balances sharp social reflection with intimate, self-deprecating storytelling, carrying audiences between laugh-out-loud moments and quiet emotion.

Performed by Fred Radix, La claque revives the forgotten craft of the claqueurs — professional applauders — in a witty, refined one-man theatre piece. Set in a Parisian playhouse of 1895, Radix embodies Auguste Levasseur, who must recruit a new team with the help of Fauvette, musician, and Dugommier, stage manager. The show blends interactive, poetic and musical moments, shattering the fourth wall to make theatre vividly present.

Led by the company La Poursuite du Bleu and directed by Samuel Valensi and Paul‑Eloi Forget, Made in France is a biting satire that follows Émile, an ex-convict who returns to work in a factory and becomes head of the union to save his colleagues after a delocalisation is announced. The staging is dark and spare, with a constant drum score that drives the rhythm. Part Chaplin-like cinematic fable, part political comedy, the piece balances absurdity and human warmth.
