Fête des mères : diptyque familial

Booking Required

A diptych of two linked plays, this evening mixes sharp family comedy with tragi‑comic romance. In the first piece, a stand‑up’s return to a tense mother’s celebration unsettles an apparently ordinary gathering, letting repressed resentments surface in a cruel yet liberating crescendo. The second instalment follows the same characters five years later in a frantic race to prevent a wedding, blending farce and melancholic reflection. The staging favours intimate ensemble interactions and wry observational humour, in the vein of Agnès Jaoui and Jean‑Pierre Bacri.

In French.

One Thing After Another

Théâtre de l'Orangerie

Join a playful builder who improvises a strange home in a garden. With brave, clever ropes and found objects she moves from one idea to the next, sometimes wild, sometimes stubborn, slowly assembling a surprising structure. Children will watch materials cooperate or resist, feel the rhythm of making, and wonder whether everything will collapse or turn into accidental genius. A lively, physical performance that celebrates imagination, trial and joyful experimentation.
