Our take on this event
Running from October 8 to December 10, 2026, C’est pas la mer à boire at Théâtre La Flèche offers an intimate look at the life of Lila. The narrative follows her battle with alcoholism, centered on the struggle between two competing personas: one defined by judgment and fear, the other by a complete lack of boundaries. Joined by her inner child, Lila retraces her past relationships and experiences to understand how she lost her way and how she might finally find clarity.
The production treats alcohol as a creeping force that gradually transforms reality into a dreamlike, aquatic, and musical world. This aesthetic choice underscores the emotional weight of her journey toward recovery. Each performance is scheduled on Thursdays at 21:00 and lasts until 22:10.
Tickets are available for purchase at prices ranging from 15 to 25 euros. This performance provides a reflective experience for those interested in complex character-driven storytelling.
