Succès Reprise

Booking Required

Directed by Richard Gauteron and written by Hervé Devolder, Succès Reprise is a delightfully cunning vaudeville that folds theatre into life. Three actors rehearse a hit play in which a woman leaves her husband for his lover, while offstage romantic entanglements mirror and complicate those roles. The piece balances sharp comedy, backstage intrigue and thorny financial stakes, staging mise en abyme with precision and warmth. Produced by Théâtre Marathon, it arrives as a celebrated Off d’Avignon success.

In French.

3 March – 2 April

Molière’s Tartuffe tells the story of a slick con-man who hides behind ostentatious piety to worm his way into the wealthy Orgon household. Orgon, dazzled by Tartuffe’s sanctimonious rhetoric, defends him even as the impostor’s hypocrisy poisons family bonds and pushes the household toward ruin.

Director Jean Liermier underscores how, in Molière’s work, the female characters serve as the moral compass and spark of resistance, a beacon of hope against oppression. Staged on a stark, minimalist set that exposes the family’s rigid tensions—and featuring Gilles Privat as an unbending Orgon—this production highlights the play’s continuing resonance in a world beset by egotism, fanaticism, and conspiracy thinking. The central question remains timeless: will society keep falling for Tartuffe’s brand of seductive deceit?

In French. Ages 12 and up.

Performed by Marie Probst, Marie Ruchat, Alexandra Tiedemann and David Casada, the piece mixes elements of folk tale and detective narrative to probe mutual taming between humans and other forms of life. Giulia Muniz’s costumes, David Kretonic’s lighting and Rudy Deceliere’s sound design build a tense, mysterious atmosphere that questions the limits of rationality.
