This evocative and musical performance project tells the poignant love story of Chess and Serena within the confines of a women’s prison. While in her cell, Chess uses singing as a means to escape reality, reflecting on her past, her crime, and her daughter. After Serena is released, Chess is left alone but finds solace and liberation through music composition, guided by Silver, a producer who conducts workshops in the prison. This narrative acts as a liberating incantation against isolation and confinement.

Back from the ashes like a mischievous phoenix, this stage adaptation of Hergé’s timeless comic hurls Bianca Castafiore’s shrill “Heavens, my jewels!” onto the boards and detonates a riotous, closed-door whodunnit inside the tranquil walls of Moulinsart: red herrings fly, misunderstandings snowball and Tintin’s entire gallery of eccentrics careen through a dazzling, hyper-faithful recreation of the album, where actors vanish into near-unrecognisable guises and the set itself crackles with playful theatrical sleight-of-hand—proof that some productions really do possess a magic, living soul of their own.

In French.  Ages 7 and up.
