No Exit

This play is certainly one of the author's most emblematic works, as well as one of the most iconic in classical theatre. Staged numerous times over many years, it is now, 80 years after its publication, being performed again on stage thanks to the work of Karine Kadi for the Laurette Theatre. 


Sebastian Barrio, Karine Battaglia and Laurence Meini turn this closed-door drama into an opening onto the world and onto others…

Let's simplify spelling. Shall we vote?

This play in Paris invites each spectator to take part in major decisions for the future of French culture.

The Maids

To revive the memories of French theatre, Nadia Mouron and Bernard Fripiat revive the memories of Claire and Solange Lemercier, two spirits trapped in the world they left in 1947. Every day, they resume their role as maids in order to tirelessly please their “Madame”.


Both fantastic and realistic, this play in Paris transports you into Jean Genet's masterpiece with the utmost respect.


Lantern Man

With your head in the stars, witness a play directed by Pascal Hénault. Before your eyes, Dragolin and Bonhomme Lampions will attempt to fulfill their mission: to show you the individual as they are when they emerge from a hellish inner struggle.


Navigate between classical theatre and dramatic theatre.


Mars & Venus

Are you also saying that they are not meant to live together?


If you've never thought about it, or if, on the contrary, you think about it too much, this play is for you! With Cie Phénix, sweep away false beliefs and preconceived ideas to truly understand the challenges of a life as a couple.


Mechanics of the Unforeseen

Attending a play in Paris is one of the best ways to question certain aspects of life, to let yourself be carried away by your emotions and to try to understand them through the performance of passionate actors.
