Sulo presents his new show, VIVRE (LIVE), an ode to life and its surprises. With humor and authenticity, he shares his vision of the importance of savoring every moment, even the unexpected ones. For the past seven years, Sulo has been touring the stand-up comedy circuit. He left Le Havre to pursue his dream in Paris and has performed countless shows, quickly establishing himself as a regular in key comedy clubs like Paname Comedy Club, Madame Sarfati, and Sacré Comedy. He has also had the privilege of opening for big names in comedy such as Roman Fraysinet, Hakim Jemili, Jason Brokerss, and Fary. Today, he returns with a personal, funny, and touching show, where you’ll laugh a lot but also reflect a little. Because, ultimately, there’s only one thing to do: LIVE!

Pling-Klang is a physical theatre duo by Étienne Manceau and Mathieu Despoisse that turns the iconic IKEA KALLAX shelf into a mischievous stage partner. Building furniture becomes an acrobatic and comic ritual: screws are tightened and loosened, objects are juggled and bodies find precarious balance. Through precise object manipulation, deadpan humour and inventive acrobatics, the piece reveals the small catastrophes and tender compromises of couple life, combining slapstick with intimate emotion.

Trio Joubran, formed by brothers Samir, Wissam and Adnan Joubran, presents Twenty Springs: a two-decade survey of their oeuvre for oud. Joined by a string quartet (Valentin Mussou, cello; Anne Gouverneur and Sylvain Favre, violins; Anne Berry, viola) and percussionists Habib Meftah and Ersoj Kazimov, the ensemble expands the trio’s intimate sound into a rich, resonant tapestry. Arrangements alternate fragile solo interludes and sweeping, rhythmic passages, where luminous strings and precise percussion amplify the oud’s plaintive melodies, creating a meditative, emotionally charged journey.
Two musical worlds, one raw intensity. Grungehog revives the visceral spirit of 1990s Seattle, drawing on the legacy of Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden and Alice in Chains to deliver honest, unadorned rock driven by gritty riffs and emotional vocals. Supporting trio Gédéon offers groovy folk-rock with seventies echoes, singing in French and Spanish; acoustic guitar, banjo, dobro and percussion weave an intimate, hypnotic sound. The evening balances electric intensity with organic tenderness.
