Lara Fabian celebrates a rare vocal and emotional range across a career spanning 35 years, with over 25 million albums sold. On the Je suis là tour she reinvents three decades of signature songs in unexpected arrangements, blending intimate piano-led passages with sweeping band climaxes. Accompanied by eleven musicians and the Yaacov brothers as musical directors, the performance alternates tender, candid moments and powerful, cinematic crescendos that highlight her interpretive depth and stage presence.
Two short plays by Anton Chekhov staged by Tibor Ockenfels and Flavie Tapparel, presented as compact dramatic machines where romantic comedy masks escalating confrontations between desire, affection and material interest. Performances rely on precise physical timing, terse exchanges and a lean, playful design to reveal the simmering violence behind courtship rituals. The three actors — Estelle Bridet, Matteo Prandi and Raphaël Vachoux — inhabit heightened character types that shift between farce and darker comic truth, creating a sharply observed, kinetic evening.
