Un Jackpot de rêve – comédie musicale

Performances

Théâtre de la Madeleine

Written and directed by Raphaëlle Farman, this musical comedy follows six eccentric lottery winners whose most improbable dreams suddenly come within reach. With the charismatic show host Macha and the scheming production director Florence, the ensemble embarks on escapades that leap from Arthurian chivalry to the surface of the moon. A troupe of spirited performers animates comic tableaux, while playful staging, brisk choreography and bursts of onstage magic create an exuberant, nostalgic atmosphere that celebrates imagination and folly.

Claudine (j’aime pas l’bonheur)

Performances

Théâtre Alchimic

Claudine (j’aime pas l’bonheur) is a re-creation by Marjolaine Minot that probes the ambivalence of happiness through intimate theatrical language. The piece blends restrained physicality and lyrical monologue to map memory, longing and domestic disquiet. Minimal scenic devices and attentive sound design carve spaces of emotion, while a small ensemble negotiates shifts between humour and melancholy. The production favours fragile gestures and precise rhythms to evoke an uneasy, poetic atmosphere.

Ah ! Une brève histoire du cri primordial

Performances

Théâtricul

But what is “reality”?
A forgotten cassette in a tape recorder becomes the key to a journey through time.
Two coworkers, Kurt and Willard, are plunged into the heart of an unprecedented psychiatric experiment where delirium and lucidity intertwine.

They must piece together a puzzle that will lead them to the very edge of madness. “Why are you so angry? …Because all of a sudden I was taking control of something? …Huh? Until now you were used to completely controlling the situation, and now this strangeness has crept into your life…”

Zuza: A Theatrical Journey

Kids Performances

Square Clair-Matin

Follow Zuza, a bold little girl whose everyday moments swell into grand adventures: she eats while flying, grows larger than the planet when angry, and finds a loyal crocodile companion. The itinerant show mixes short tales and a parade using giant, human-size and miniature puppets, low-tech screen effects and masked dance. Playful and richly imagined, it invites families to move with the story and share moments of wonder and emotion.
