Created collectively by the company À l’Ouest with Guillaume Pidancet, this inventive staging reimagines Charles Perrault’s Bluebeard for families.

Danyèl Waro is a seminal voice of Maloya from Réunion, blending raw percussion, creole poetry and demanding political urgency. A poet-musician and craftsman, he performs on self-made instruments—kayams, roulérs and pikérs—channeling ancestral rhythms into powerful calls for social memory, resistance and cultural preservation. His concerts unfold in intense, communal energy: trance-like grooves, penetrating vocal declarations and spare, organic arrangements that move between lament and defiant hope.
Are Demons Among Us? Berbiguier de Terre-Neuve du Thym was a French citizen from Avignon who, after having his cards read by a fortune-teller, began to see malevolent beings all around him, whom he called “goblins.” The delusion lasted his entire life. His book on demons is an impressively detailed work, written in a rich literary style and containing utterly bizarre content—both pathetic and unintentionally comical.
It constitutes the most complete account of the inner world of a man gripped by profound madness. It was rediscovered in the following century by the Surrealists, notably Raymond Queneau, as well as by enthusiasts of outsider art. The performance will be a montage of the very words of this famous “literary madman” and will offer the audience a journey into the labyrinth of his thoughts.
