Myriam Baroukh

Booking Required

Myriam Baroukh dismantles the checklist of modern life — exams, steady jobs, marriage, children, mortgages — to ask what remains once the boxes are ticked. With sharp, intimate stand-up, she navigates happiness, antidepressants, a difficult birth, artificial intelligence, urban wildlife and the strain of care and exile. Her voice mixes wry observation and emotional honesty, turning personal setbacks into wry, human comedy. Her rapid-fire anecdotes and unexpected images keep the audience off-balance, exploring empathy and absurdity.

The Wheel of Fortune

Performances

Théâtre de l'Orangerie

Two unexpected deities arrive by bicycle, guided by a capricious GPS, carrying a very serious object: the Wheel of Fortune. They need the audience—especially children—to spin the wheel and together invent a story about a child to whom nothing seems to go right. Misfortunes pile up, luck sticks to the sneakers and solutions must be imagined. A participatory musical tale where chance and imagination shape a different story each time.

In French. Kids ages 5 and up.

Faire Hamlet !

Performances

Théâtre de l'Orangerie

Directed by Valeria Bertolotto, Faire Hamlet! stages a company wrestling with performance and truth as rehearsals of Shakespeare’s prince unravel private tensions. Pierre Banderet, Dylan Poletti and an intergenerational ensemble confront doubt, jealousy and shifting identities while Angèle Colas provides artistic collaboration. Sound by Fred Jarabo, scenography by Fanny Courvoisier, lights by Alessandra Domingues and costumes by Eléonore Cassaigneau shape an intimate, unstable world where fiction bleeds into life.

In French.

Caustic Sunsets

Performances

La Canopée

Caustic Sunsets is an intense, intimate performance exploring heat, decay and late-day tension through layered sound and stark visual choreography. Sparse staging and abrasive sonic textures create a slow-burning atmosphere where silence and sudden crescendos converse. The work focuses on physicality, shadow and the poetics of decline, inviting the audience into a concentrated sensory experience that lingers beyond the lights.
