Nestled at the foot of the Old Town, the Théâtre de la Madeleine is a theater hall, primarily dedicated to stand-up comedy.
Sulo presents his new show, VIVRE (LIVE), an ode to life and its surprises. With humor and authenticity, he shares his vision of the importance of savoring every moment, even the unexpected ones. For the past seven years, Sulo has been touring the stand-up comedy circuit. He left Le Havre to pursue his dream in Paris and has performed countless shows, quickly establishing himself as a regular in key comedy clubs like Paname Comedy Club, Madame Sarfati, and Sacré Comedy. He has also had the privilege of opening for big names in comedy such as Roman Fraysinet, Hakim Jemili, Jason Brokerss, and Fary. Today, he returns with a personal, funny, and touching show, where you’ll laugh a lot but also reflect a little. Because, ultimately, there’s only one thing to do: LIVE!

Does having a Swiss Federal Railways (SBB/CFF) first-class travel card mean you’ve made it in life? What were the people smoking who designed the Isle of Man flag? Have you ever tried Didier’s tiramisu? What do you call those triangular dividers on supermarket checkout conveyor belts? Should we compost our boogers? Are you manly even if you can’t lift a heavy suitcase? Who actually likes fireworks? Can you name your child Ragusa? All these questions (except two) are addressed in tchoutchou.mp3, Blaise Bersinger’s new, not-so-improvised one-man show. Oscillating between stand-up, concert, and a stroke, the Lausanne-based comedian offers you a rather silly and reassuring (train?) journey for your digestive system. As Douglas-Wolfgang Bersinger, Blaise’s fictional uncle, said two years after his brain removal: “aaha è gah”

Be amazed by five magicians with very different styles. Miss Nightmare, Sacha Harlow, Rémy Marvely, Julien Sonjon and Greg will make you laugh, dream and question your own eyes.

This lively show sparks curiosity, imagination and daring.

Performed by Nicolas Maury, this solo reading of Sarah Kane’s 4.48 Psychosis offers an intimate, unflinching journey into depression and the limits of language. Vanasay Khamphommala’s French translation preserves Kane’s fragmented rhythm and emotional intensity. The staging favors minimalism, with a solitary voice, sparse lighting and focused sound design to magnify the text’s raw immediacy. The performance invites sustained listening and emotional immersion.
