  • Le Mauvais Sort • A show by Céline Champinot

    In the still-smoldering ruins of the catastrophe, a cabaret comes to life: that of "Le Mauvais Sort," where images and passions of the Western world are purged. At the heart of the disaster, we sing and laugh at what the romantic impulse can trigger in us; as the numbers progress, roles waver, certainties crack, and the established order is shaken.

  • A magic cocktail with Maxence Vire at Le Double Fond Theatre

    Maxence Vire is not just a simple magician, he is a true showman! There are places that are more than formative in the life of an artist and actor, such as the school of "the street", the school of the "cabaret" or even Club Med. Maxence has done all three, which makes him an abracadabrant character with boundless energy and humor that is as scathing as it is subtle.
