Staged as a witty exploration of late-life desire and rebellion, L’âge bête brings Michèle Laroque and Kad Merad together as two newly involved sixty-somethings who refuse to be defined by age. The piece blends sharp comedy and tender moments to examine freedom, appetite and companionship, relying on vivid physicality and intimate duo work to reveal humanity beneath the gags. The performance favors contemporary, character-driven staging and a warm, ironic tone.

This original comedy piece by Compagnie Tandem brings together performers Aurélia Loriol, Elie Souarit and Emile Rock after a year of collaborative writing and ensemble rehearsal.

The staging favours tight ensemble work and rapid shifts in tone, balancing sharp wit with human vulnerability.
