Adel Fugazi: Le temps d’une pause

Booking Required

In this show blending absurdity and originality, Adel offers you a break — a break from all the outside noise. By tackling light and universal topics, he brings us a fresh perspective, a bit of a departure from current trends. And it feels good! This year, after proving himself at the Montreux Comedy Festival, he joined the Jamel Comedy Club troupe and emerged as the grand winner of the Paris Comedy Festival! In 2024, he reached the finals of Comedy Class with Éric and Ramzy.

Adel is ready to welcome you into his world.
But are you ready to enter?

Faire Hamlet !

Performances

Théâtre de l'Orangerie

Directed by Valeria Bertolotto, Faire Hamlet! stages a company wrestling with performance and truth as rehearsals of Shakespeare’s prince unravel private tensions.

The Wheel of Fortune

Performances

Théâtre de l'Orangerie

Two unexpected deities arrive by bicycle, guided by a capricious GPS, carrying a very serious object: the Wheel of Fortune. They need the audience—especially children—to spin the wheel and together invent a story about a child to whom nothing seems to go right. Misfortunes pile up, luck sticks to the sneakers and solutions must be imagined. A participatory musical tale where chance and imagination shape a different story each time.

In French. Kids ages 5 and up.

Ghetto Kumbé

Performances

Scène Ella Fitzgerald

From Bogotá, Ghetto Kumbé are a trio of singer‑shamans and virtuoso percussionists who fuse electro‑Caribbean beats, techno, house and Afro‑Colombian and West African rhythms into a ritual of dance and trance. Their mesmerising grooves shift between chant and propulsive percussion, creating a physical, communal atmosphere that channels collective vibration and festive resistance. Live, the trio prioritises deep rhythmic immersion and political urgency, inviting bodies into a cathartic, transformative sound experience.

2 – 23 July

Caustic Sunsets

Performances

La Canopée

Caustic Sunsets is an intense, intimate performance exploring heat, decay and late-day tension through layered sound and stark visual choreography. Sparse staging and abrasive sonic textures create a slow-burning atmosphere where silence and sudden crescendos converse. The work focuses on physicality, shadow and the poetics of decline, inviting the audience into a concentrated sensory experience that lingers beyond the lights.
