8 – 17 October

Based on sketches by Devos, Ribes, Sylvie Joly, Palmade and Martinez, this theatrical revue sketches the comic microcosm of apartment life. Short scenes expose domestic tensions — marital rows, overwhelmed parents, an unpredictable grandmother and holiday disasters — with sharp observational wit and precise farcical timing. The ensemble slips into vivid characters, combining spoken comedy and physical nuance to reveal tenderness beneath the chaos, offering a warm, incisive portrait of neighbours and family.

In French.

26 November – 6 December

Ray Cooney’s zany crime comedy follows Yvon, who accidentally swaps his accountant’s satchel on a commuter train and discovers millions. Urged to escape to Buenos Aires and start anew, his plan unravels under the stubborn refusal of his wife, intrusive friends, a dubious policeman, a pedantic commissioner, an irascible taxi driver and a determined killer intent on reclaiming the money. Fast-paced and farcical, the staging mixes sharp physical comedy with escalating misunderstandings, generating tense humor and breathless momentum.

In French.

10 – 20 December

Adieu je reste is a sharply comic theatre piece about two women who, betrayed by the same man, forge an unexpected bond. The staging favours intimate domestic detail and brisk, character-driven dialogue, exploring deception, loyalty and female solidarity with warmth and wit. Sparse set and focused performances underline moments of humour and revelation, shifting between farce and tender insight.

In French.
