Mathieu Madenian

Booking Required

Mathieu Madenian’s fourth solo show mixes observational comedy and gentle tenderness as the performer reflects on becoming a father later in life. Drawing on the arrival of his son Milo, now two, he interrogates contemporary anxieties—asking ‘Why have a baby in a world that’s burning?’—and transforms doubt into humour and warmth. The piece balances sharp social reflection with intimate, self-deprecating storytelling, carrying audiences between laugh-out-loud moments and quiet emotion.

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.

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…”
