Jane Eyre


Adapted from the novel by Charlotte Brontë, this play is directed by Imago des Framboisiers who revives this masterpiece of British literature. Written by an author who used a male pseudonym, her eponymous character seems to borrow certain traits from her. The novel explores themes of love, morality, independence and the status of women in Victorian society.

Today, the romantic lines are brought to life on stage by Monica Tracke and Sofia Kerezidou, so that we can finally hear what Jane Eyre has to say to us!

This show was presented during the OFF Festival in Avignon 2022.


Behind closed doors 


“Hell is other people”; everyone knows this quote from Jean-Paul Sartre, summarizing in a few words the subject of his play Huis Clos.

Three protagonists find themselves before a judge to justify their actions, before being judged for eternity. Only, everyone will discover that their real executioner is none other than the two others who are close to him... 

At the Laurette Théâtre, Karine Kadi invites you to become a spectator of this trial but an actor in your own; what do you regret that you can no longer change?


Simplify spelling


For 1h05, Nadia Mouron and Bernard Fripiat will need your help to react effectively to the blackmail they are experiencing, forcing them to review and simplify the spelling. We recommend that viewers review their spelling and etymological knowledge since this comedy subsequently asks you to vote for or against the proposed reform!


The ego crisis


Did you know that narcissism is an emotional state that can lead a person to commit the worst acts? Unfortunately, Rachel is a woman with an oversized ego, multiplied by 3... But by being too focused on herself, she forgets others and their intentions! She swallows everything that is said to her.

Alone or in a group, this modern comedy will make you shudder for 1h15!


The mechanics of the unexpected


For 1 hour 15 minutes, a team of 5 actors offers you an improvisation show on themes chosen by the public! With your help, they will be able to remedy the malfunction of their typewriter.


The Picture of Dorian Gray


A great classic of Oscar Wilde's bibliography, The Picture of Dorian Gray is programmed in our Laurette Theater as a play. Directed by Imago des Framboisiers, it plunges the viewer into the torments of a young man ready to give his soul to keep his features and avoid the effects of old age...


In the footsteps of Arsène Lupin


Let yourself be captivated by the mysterious and captivating world of Arsène Lupin, this gentleman burglar so renowned for his skill. This show offers you magic and mentalism tricks, transporting you to a world where the boundary between reality and illusion fades and seems to no longer exist...

Young and old alike will be amazed by the magical phenomena and fascinating experiments skillfully carried out by the author and director of his own show: Jean-Michel Lupin.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is everywhere. Voice assistants in our phones algorithms who recommend films, she is gradually inviting herself into our daily lives. For some, it is synonymous with innovation and progress. For others, it arouses concerns, especially on its impact on employment, creativity or even human relationships. This technological revolution, which upsets our relationship to the world, could therefore only inspire the theater, an art that feeds on the air to question our society. When AI invites itself on stage ... But not as one imagines one might think that AI in the theater means robots on stage or dialogues entirely generated by algorithms. However, it is not from this angle that the authors and directors take hold of it. Artificial intelligence becomes above all a source of inspiration for the world of spectacle, a pretext to explore universal themes such as communication, intergenerational conflicts and the place of human in a changing world. The theater, as a mirror of our contemporary concerns, is less interested in technological prowess than in the upheavals that they provoke in our lives. The stories that result from it are often tinged with humor and reflection, because behind the supposed coldness of the machines hide very human questions. Does artificial intelligence, a subject of captivating spectacle for the public why does artificial intelligence make such a good subject of show? First, because it is at the heart of the news. We talk about it in the media, we debate in the cafes, and everyone has their opinion on the issue. It is a theme that challenges and affects all generations, because it raises deep questions about our future. Then, AI is an excellent narrative lever to confront different visions of the world. One of the major tensions around this technology lies in the discrepancy between those who naturally adopt it and those who look at it with skepticism. This generational shock is a gold mine for playwrights, which can draw funny and touching situations. Finally, artificial intelligence in the theater makes it possible to open debates, without being too didactic. Through a comedy, a drama or a satirical piece, she pushes the spectator to ask questions without him having the impression of attending a conference. It is this subtle balance between entertainment and reflection that makes these shows so relevant. "Ados.com: Artificial Intelligence", a generational comedy not to miss a perfect example of the way in which AI can be exploited in the theater is the new play "Ados.com: Artificial Intelligence", carried by Crazy. This show stages Kevin and his mother, already known to the public thanks to the success of Ados.com. In this new adventure, they find themselves faced with new daily situations: becoming a rapper, managing homework, learning to drive ... But above all, they must deal with new technologies that invade their daily lives. If the title refers to AI, it is not so much to talk about robots as to illustrate the misunderstandings between generations. Artificial intelligence becomes a common thread here to approach universal themes with humor: how do young people perceive technology? Why do parents sometimes find it difficult to keep pace? And above all, can we still understand each other in the digital age? Directed by Jean-Baptiste Mazoyer, and interpreted by Seb Mattia and Isabelle Viranin, the show plays on the contrast between the mother, overwhelmed by new digital uses, and her son, completely immersed in this connected world. Between misunderstandings and tasty dialogues, the play promises bursts of laughter and a beautiful dose of reflection on our relationship to technology. AI and theater, a promising duo. A show on artificial intelligence can be an exciting subject to approach, not so much for its technological feat as for the questions it arouses. Through shows like "Ados.com: artificial intelligence", it becomes a way to talk about our time, our doubts and our hopes. Between laughter and awareness, these pieces remind us that, despite the omnipresence of machines, it is always the human who tells the best stories.
