What to see at the 2023 Avignon Festival?

Program for the 2023 Avignon Festival 

At Laurette Théâtre, for this consecutive year we want to give young and old alike the opportunity to immerse themselves in the heart of live shows thanks to a program created with talented artists.

For the upcoming Avignon Festival, here is what we offer you: 

1. A very happy birthday

If Ludo thought he would spend the evening of his birthday alone at home, but life will decide otherwise... Or at least his neighborhood. This play is an opportunity to see that nothing really happens by chance since “four characters that nothing brings together [...] will learn to know each other, to appreciate each other, and to party”.

2. In the footsteps of Arsène Lupin: between magic and mentalism

Through strange phenomena, thought reading and manipulation, numerology, magic, mentalism, behavioral study and predictions, Jean-Michel Lupine follows in the footsteps of the famous Arsène Lupin!

3. My roommate is a bitch

A café-theatre is set up in the Laurette Théâtre to allow you to witness a gripping story where many memorable lines have left their mark on people's minds for over 10 years! It's a spicy face-to-face between a 50-year-old man and a mischievous woman waiting for you.

4. Women are equal to men… Well, normally!

For 1 hour 15 minutes, the role and status of women are discussed again. Is the man really the one who dominates the couple or is it the woman who lets him believe it? Laurent Mentec looks back on the ups and downs of a couple's life with a lot of philosophy and humor.

5. Me, my husband, my troubles

Arielle has everything to be happy but she is bored in her married life... She then decides to place an ad to spice up her sexuality while at the same time her husband places an ad to sell his car. When the visitors arrive, the misunderstandings keep coming!

6. God Bless America

Franck, without a job, lives in a dark America. He then decides to take justice into his own hands. Joined and accompanied by Roxy, a rebellious high school student, they will both form a supercharged team. Let yourself be taken on “the roads of stupidity made in the USA”!

7. Mars and Venus

Are men and women made to live together? This humorous play, directed by Sébastien Cypers, questions the couple but also the individual!

8. Don Juan

During this interactive play, witness a new type of theater in which you are the hero! A complex montage of 7 different versions of the famous myth of Don Juan gives you the opportunity to explore one of 84 scenarios and one of 8 possible endings.

This unique adventure is directed by Imago Des Framboisiers.

9. Host family

Isabelle begins to be annoyed by the presence of her brother whom she is hosting. One day, he applied to become a host family for the SPA! The arrival of Alfred in their lives will completely shake up their daily lives... If you like misunderstandings, twists and turns and funny situations, this play is for you.

10. Next door

Directed by Raphaël Pelissou, this show places the spectator in front of a theatrical comedy where the problems of neighbors, couples and human compatibility mingle. 

11. Zoom in

Christophe Pradlate, famous host of a famous reality TV show, is now taking the stage at our theater. During this Avignon Festival 2023 , you are caught up in a police investigation!

12. Behind closed doors

Directed by Raphaël Pelissou, this major work by Jean-Paul Sartre revisits theater stages. During a closed trial, each of the characters judges and is judged for all the acts they have committed. Three existences are then discussed. 

Huis Clos places the spectator face to face with his own demons, who coexist in each other's hells...
