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.

Directed by Brigitte Rosset, this intimate comedy follows Lucie, a celebrated playwright trapped by silence, and Thomas, her eccentric new neighbour whose clumsy misadventures rekindle her imagination. Performed by Mauro Bellucci and Camille Figuereo, the staging plays with the boundaries between fiction and reality, mixing subtle humour, melancholic moments and theatrical invention. The production honours the original text by Matthieu Delaporte and Alexandre de La Patellière.

Step into a playful storytelling performance built around a simple hat full of folded papers. Each paper hides a new tale from near and far; chosen at random with help from the audience, they are brought to life by Cathy Sarr. Children are invited to travel between dreams and reality through vivid voices, gentle frissons and laughter. Short theatrical stories spark imagination and introduce young listeners to the magic of theatre.
In French. Kids ages 8 and up.
Directed by Mariama Sylla, this staging of Stephen Sachs’s play follows Maud, a down‑on‑her‑luck barmaid who discovers a painting that may be a Pollock. Carine Barbey and Frédéric Landenberg bring wit and grit to a sharp, class-conscious comedy-drama opposite Lionel Percy, an art expert. Khaled Khouri’s scenography, William Ballerio’s lighting, Pierre Omer’s music and Marion Schmid’s costumes shape an acidic, human portrait. Translation: Jerry Henning; assistant: Pauline Lebet; makeup: Katrine Zingg; painting: Eric Vuille. Coproduction with Cie La Gamine.

Enter a wandering tale, accompanied by a cello, in which a princess flees her father’s anger and a messenger searches for her for a very long time. The journey becomes an inverted, existential quest, unfolding through many episodes drawn from Hasidic, Indian, Slavic and Norwegian folktales. Children will be immersed in vivid scenes, guided by music and storytelling, sparking imagination, curiosity and gentle reflection.
In French. Kids ages 7 and up.
Adapted from Ettore Scola’s film, this intimate staging follows Antonietta and Gabriele as they confront the daily forms of fascism and the constraints of ideology. Dominique Gubser and Romain Daroles embody a charged encounter of tenderness, desire and political awakening, while sparse staging and attentive lighting strip the world to its emotional essentials. The piece probes exclusion, identity and the precarious freedom found in a single shared day.
