We (re)discover the story of Juste la fin du monde at the Théâtre de l’Atelier 

After twelve years away, Louis visits his family. However, this reunion won't be the happiest one : he intends to tell them that he is ill and doesn’t have long to live. But this return doesn’t go exactly as planned, and family tensions resurface, preventing Louis from confessing the truth before he leaves. On stage, Astrid Bayiha, Céleste Brunnquell, Vincent Dedienne, Christiane Millet, and Loïc Riewer portray the members of this family. The direction by Johanny Bert revisits the classic story by Jean-Luc Lagarce, thirty years after his passing and almost ten years after its cinematic adaptation by Xavier Dolan starring Gaspard Ulliel as the leading role.

Dive into the world of tarot with the new exhibit at 6B

Attention all tarot enthusiasts! This month, 6B is hosting an exhibition that explores the past, present, and future through three major arcana of the Marseille Tarot: Death, The Fool, The World. One symbolizes rebirth and new beginnings, another heralds a shift in the established order, overturning beliefs and folk knowledge, and finally, the last wraps up the story with a restored balance. Through the works of about ten artists, we are reminded of this "tarot fable," a new life for myth, folklore.

Re and the magic to discover in the different spaces of 6B.
