Marion Mezadorian – Craquage

Performances

Salle Communale d'Onex

Craquage, the second solo show by French comedian and writer Marion Mezadorian, presents a vibrant gallery of everyday characters — sixteen in total — each facing a silent personal crisis. From a weary mother to a local bartender or hairdresser, they all eventually break down and open up, sparking both laughter and emotion.

Through their loud, heartfelt confessions, Mezadorian gives voice to the unspoken, turning trauma into comedy with warmth and perspective. Her infectious energy and charisma bring these very human moments to life, making Craquage a moving, funny, and unmissable gem.

Straddling dance, circus and magic, the work explores vulnerability, hope and the tender care given to tiny things. Nanda Suc acts as external advisor; the production is by Cie Moost and includes institutional coproductions.
