Behind closed doors

Written by Jean-Paul Sartre in 1943, this work is certainly one of the best known in his repertoire. 80 years later, in 2023, Karine Kadi is betting on offering you a new production at our Laurette Théâtre. On our stages, Sebastian Barrio, Karine Battaglia and Laurence Meini share this closed session where each becomes the executioner of the others!


“Hell is other people”, of course... But who are the others?

Ready to follow in the footsteps of the greatest illusionist? Jean-Michel Lupin, author, director and performer, takes on the crazy challenge of inviting you to a disconcerting adventure that takes place at the very heart of your thoughts. 


Reading and manipulation of thoughts, numerology, study of behavior, predictions... It questions and teases your mind through fun and well-crafted tricks! This interactive show is ideal for families, delighting young and old alike.


It’s a success of the Avignon OFF Festival!


Simplify the spelling. Shall we vote?

Enter the torments of a renowned grammarian forced to simplify the spelling of the French language following blackmail. For 1h05, Nadia Mouron and Bernard Fripiat are the protagonists of this play in Paris, during which the spectators become the arbiters of their differences!


Before coming, check that you are up to date with your spelling and etymological knowledge... It will be up to you to vote for or against the reform.


The Good

Deceased in 1947, Claire & Solange Lemercier are two spirits stuck in the world they left. They then tirelessly relive their role as maids, reproducing their habits, their rituals, always with the aim of pleasing “Madame”!


To enter the world of this tale, sometimes fantastic, sometimes realistic, let the staging and the acting of the two actresses transport you, while respecting Jean Genet's masterpiece and in its almost entirety.


Snowman Lanterns

You are watching this play in Paris with your head in the stars. Dragolin and Bonhomme Lampions' mission is to show you the individual as he is when he emerges from an infernal struggle between the vital force and self-denial.


Between classical theater and dramatic theater, Bertrand Carnebuse takes you out to sea.


Mars & Venus

If you are one of those who say that men and women are different and that they are not meant to live together, this play is for you! On stage, Cie Phénix sweeps away false beliefs and preconceived ideas, and places reality in its proper framework so that we can truly understand the challenges of a life together.


It's a successful couples comedy!


Mechanics of the unexpected

With family or friends, attend this improvisation show where only you can give game themes. For 1h15, the entire ON/OFF company is hanging on your lips to create in front of you a piece which, for once, has not been repeated!


Experiencing a play in Paris is certainly the best way to leave the worries of everyday life at the threshold of your thoughts. During the performance, let yourself be carried away by the joys and sorrows, the cries and laughter, of all the characters who have come to courageously declaim in front of you.

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.
