Encore! Carlos Martinez — Mime Performance

Returning to the stage, Carlos Martinez offers an intimate homage to the art of mime and to the audiences who accompanied his career. The evening’s opening is a journey through memory: a man revisits a place that shaped his life and discovers objects that are more than mere things, holding the traces of the past and opening spaces of imagination. Through precise, silent gestures and poetic tableaux, Martinez transforms objects into storytellers, exploring origin, time and heritage while celebrating how art endures.

Claudine (j’aime pas l’bonheur) is a re-creation by Marjolaine Minot that probes the ambivalence of happiness through intimate theatrical language.

The production favours fragile gestures and precise rhythms to evoke an uneasy, poetic atmosphere.

Mariés au premier ringard is a sharp, character-driven theatrical comedy that dissects the absurdities of modern relationships with warmth and irony. The staging favors close ensemble interaction, a lean scenography and precise lighting that underline shifting loyalties and comic misunderstandings. Moments of tenderness puncture the satire, inviting reflection on intimacy, identity and the small rituals of coupling. It balances humour and poignancy to produce a lively theatrical pulse.
