The Speech, at Théâtre Michel 

During a family dinner, Adrien, 40 years old, suddenly finds himself given a mission by Ludo, his future brother-in-law: to make a speech at his wedding. But this isn't just "any" speech expected from him. Suddenly, the entire flow of the ceremony and his sister's romantic future rests on his shoulders. Not to mention that his own love life has been pretty chaotic since he decided to take a break from Sonia three weeks ago. Adapted from the eponymous work of Fabrice Caro, this one-man show, starring Simon Astier, is deeply moving with its humanity and sincerity.

tea, and brilliantly funny! Discover it at the Théâtre Michel from June 5th to 16th!

The Mystery of the Invisible Man, at Lucernaire 

England, at the dawn of the 20th century. Sitting in front of his typewriter, H.G. Wells brings to life one character after another, including Griffin, a scientist who has discovered an astonishing formula that allows him to become invisible. A unique power, certainly, but it terrifies the people he encounters and turns him into a fugitive. Using sharp rhymes and blending puppetry, special effects, and magic, this nearly solo performance...

Carried by Thomas Marceul, we are treated to a brilliant interpretation of this fantastic tale that was published in 1897. A play adapted by Ned Grujic, based on the namesake work of H.G. Wells.

Interruptiong>, at the Théâtre de la Concorde

They come from different generations, have different backgrounds, and belong to different social classes. Yet, they all share one common experience: they have sought an abortion. When interviewed by Eva, a lawyer who decided to write a book on the subject, their testimonies intertwine with hers. Combining humor, anger, and tenderness, this powerful play, adapted from the investigation conducted by Sandra Vizzavona, gives a voice to women who, one after another, dismantle the misconceptions surrounding abortion. We find ourselves moved both tenderly and deeply by this incredibly timely story.

Kermesse, at Théâtre 13

It all starts with a project, one that brings everyone together to do the conga. While it may seem simple on the surface, this festive dance turns out to be a political, sociological, and ecological act. Some may feel a bit awkward while others will embrace the fun. With Kermesse, the Collectif La Cabale aims to help us reconnect with this dance, to remind us of the importance of being together, and above all, to highlight that lightness and humor are two essential pillars of our everyday lives.

So Much Hope !, at the Atelier Theater

So Much Hope ! is, above all, a stunning visual creation by director Valérie Lesort, inspired by the cabarets of playwright Hanock Levin. But it is also a humorous and candid portrayal of sexual life, everyday problems, and illness that we face as we age. With beautifully crafted costumes and makeup, this play illustrates the desire to stay young and physically fit in a society that pressures us to do so.

take only that nothing is ever enough.
