We're discovering Point Nemo at the Théâtre du Châtelet

It's one of the flagship shows of the Théâtre du Châtelet's new cultural season. For 1 hour and 20 minutes, the FC Bergman collective immerses us in a kind of Garden of Eden that human hands gradually deconstruct. A metaphor expressed through the evolution and fragmentation of the set, set to the rhythm of Steve Reich's Drumming. A performance as unsettling as it is captivating!

Treat yourself to a moment at R.eve

To wake up or slow down at the end of the day, R.eve is teaming up with Rituals and offering a selection of classes to help you start autumn in top form. Based on the R.eve method (High Intensity, Low Impact), the sessions draw inspiration from the brand's timeless ranges, The Ritual of Sakura in the morning and The Ritual of Yozakura in the evening. The best part? In addition to taking time to pamper your body, you'll leave each class with a surprise gift bag to continue the ritual at home, all at the regular price of a class!
