About
It's a big day on the farm, the animals have taken power!
From now on, everyone is equal. But the first disagreements soon appear.... From utopia to dictatorship, how do processes of domination take hold? A narrator, a storyteller, an assembly of objects, characters clashing, and a story that sounds like a warning: a revolution led by people drunk on power can only result in a change of master.
Our take on this event
Power shifts in the barnyard, and what began as a dream of liberation slowly descends into a nightmare of authoritarianism. Through a clever assembly of everyday objects, the actors dissect the anatomy of betrayal and greed in a gripping performance. It is a sharp, theatrical warning about what happens when revolution is left in the wrong hands.
Experience the theatrical adaptation of Animal Farm at the MAIF Social Club in Paris' 3rd district. Running from Thursday 18 March to Saturday 20 March 2027, this production uses a unique blend of storytelling and household objects to examine how utopian ideals can collapse into authoritarianism. Designed for audiences aged 8 and up, the event is entirely free of charge. This compelling performance challenges viewers to consider how power dynamics shift when those in charge become intoxicated by their own influence, making it a thought-provoking choice for your spring calendar in the heart of the city.
From 18 March to 20 March 2027, the MAIF Social Club presents a gripping stage interpretation of Animal Farm.

Through a combination of narration and an assembly of objects representing various characters, the performance explores the transformation from idealism to dictatorship. It serves as a stark warning about the nature of leadership, demonstrating how revolutions led by those obsessed with power often result in nothing more than a change in command.
