Nadim: Fraicheur de vivre

Booking Required

Laughter, rhythm, pleasure… life itself! Nadim has run 11 businesses in 11 years, faced 3 labor court cases, and fled Lebanon at age 2, but that’s not necessarily what he talks about on stage. Unpredictable and spontaneous, he lets himself be guided by the moment and the energy of his audience. His show, without a fixed plot, blends realism, absurdity, and surrealism with lightness and creativity. With boundless energy, inspired improvisations, and a sharp wit, he sweeps you away into a joyful and delirious interlude. Every night can be different, for an experience that’s always surprising and hilarious.

Festival de la Bâtie – Astéroïde

Performances

Espace Vélodrome

Choreographer and performer Marco D’Agostin fuses scientific lecture, musical comedy and intimate confession in Astéroïde. Posing as a paleontologist, he handles ancient bones while tracing the extinction of dinosaurs, but the scholarly frame cracks as memory, desire and song spill out. A solo that shifts between popular science, theatre and Broadway‑style numbers, it explores loss and survival with wit, physical precision and theatrical exuberance. Produced with Piccolo Teatro di Milano.
