Renversante, at the Théâtre de la Concorde

What if, for once, we flipped the power dynamics? What if women had a say in everything, all the time? What if men had to handle all the household chores and regularly turned into mere objects of advertising? It's in this completely opposite world that the Théâtre de la Concorde invites us to dive into for a few days with Renversante,a play full of creativity, humor, and playful irony. In this adaptation of the novel by Florence Hinckel, the fraternal twins Léa and Tom – played by Léna Bréban (who is also the director) and Antoine Prud’homme de la Boussinière – ponder the world around them, the superiority of women over men, and their matriarchal society.

Lou Trotignon - Merou, at the Théâtre Saint-Georges 

Can we write our own story ? Is it possible to choose who we want to be ? At birth, it was decreed that Lou would be a woman. But Lou doesn’t agree with that decision. Through this one-man show, Lou Trotignon humorously shares his journey of transition, from taking testosterone to exploring the queer world. A performance that’s as hilarious as it is touching!

The Collectors, at the Théâtre Montparnasse 

Let's take a trip back in time to 1870. The art dealer Paul Durand-Ruel meets the painter Claude Monet, who introduces him to his fellow artists Renoir, Degas, Pissarro, and many others. There’s no doubt for Paul Durand-Ruel, these artists are so incredibly talented that he buys their works without thinking twice, even getting in trouble with the bailiffs! Madame Durand-Ruel (Christelle Reboul) will do everything she can to try to save her family from the financial disaster they are facing. A play that shines a light on the story of the one who recognized the genius of what would become the Impressionists.

Colorature, at the Théâtre Actuel La Bruyère

In 1930s New York, the wealthy Florence Foster Jenkins, convinced she is an extraordinary soprano, decides to share her voice with the public. A seemingly harmless idea, except for one tiny detail: she sings incredibly off-key, butchering the greatest opera arias without the slightest awareness of it. Sitting at her piano, Cosme McMoon remembers the twelve years spent accompanying this quirky diva. Together they will experience an astonishingly rapid rise, all the way to a performance at Carnegie Hall. On stage, Agnès Bove steps into the shoes of this character.The ambitious Castafiore with her sharp retorts, while Grégori Baquet delights us with his humor and piano skills. The journey of a historic duo is brilliantly recounted by a touching pair. We laugh a lot, grit our teeth often, and leave feeling touched.
