On m’a trouvée grandie

Directed by Valentine Losseau, On m’a trouvée grandie follows the poignant fate of women once labelled hysterical, centring on Madeleine’s claimed episodes of levitation and a doctor’s hypnotic interventions. The staging blends choreographic writing, sculptural setmaking and the visual illusions of modern magic to create a sensory, dreamlike dramaturgy. Performers Leïla Ka or Delphine Lanson (alternating), David Murgia, Laurent Natrella and Florence Peyrard inhabit a world where grace and resistance collide in shifting, uncanny tableaux.

In French.

Masood Boomgaard performs as Self-Help Singh, an alter ego who fuses stand-up comedy, parody and faux motivational speaking into a sharp, character-driven show. His sharp stage persona amplifies timely observations. With dry humour and plainspoken common-sense, he dismantles self-improvement clichés and exposes modern anxieties through carefully observed gags and storytelling. The performance balances wit and unexpected tenderness, inviting reflection as much as laughter.
