No Exit

Eighty years after it was written, No Exit makes its stage debut at the Laurette Theatre. To mark the year 2023, Jean-Paul Sartre's three most famous protagonists draw you into a humanist reflection where each plays their own role. At the moment of their judgment, they find themselves facing not only their relentless tormentors but, above all, their own demons, their own actions.


Contemplating one's life can be a real torture…


Following in the footsteps of Arsène Lupin: between magic and mentalism

Jean-Michel Lupin takes you on the trail of Arsène Lupin, the greatest gentleman thief of all time. Facing his audience, facing you, he challenges himself to delve into the very depths of your thoughts through playful and cleverly crafted tricks, the secrets of which are known only to him. During his show in Paris, he questions and teases your mind, creating an interactive experience as the show unfolds!


It's a hit at the Avignon OFF Festival.

A word of advice: before you go to this show, check your knowledge of French grammar and etymology… Yes, for 1 hour and 5 minutes, Nadia Mouron and Bernard Fripiat will be playing with you, but above all, with words! You will then become the new protagonists, arbiters of their disagreements on the subject.


The Maids

This iconic work by Jean Genet is one of the must-see shows in Paris right now! On our stage, Claire & Solange Lemercier, two maids who died in 1947, tirelessly relive their role alongside “Madame”... until they experience the final ceremony again, the famous one!


This masterpiece is respected in its almost entirety in order to transport you between two worlds perfectly evoked by the author: the fantastic and the realistic.


Lantern Man 

Dragolin and Bonhomme Lampions come before you, under the lights of our theater in Paris, to show you the individual who emerges from an infernal struggle between the vital impulse and self-denial. 

Sail into the world of Bertrand Carnebuse!


Mars & Venus

Do you think men and women are two different beings? Do you think they are not meant to live together? Do you believe that each of them has a different way of seeing things, or do they simply pretend not to understand each other? 


To answer all these questions, see this wildly successful romantic comedy. If you want to understand how a couple works, now's your chance!


The mechanics of the unexpected

The ON/OFF Company has a surprise in store for you! This time, they will be performing with your themes and ideas, and perhaps even playing with you… For 1 hour and 15 minutes, let each of the actors take their place and play the role you have assigned them.


Our theater in Paris welcomes you all year round, offering you the chance to experience profound emotions. Discover must-see plays!
