Hippolène's Tree

Journey deep into the roots of a quirky woodland home alongside a spirited creature discovering what it truly means to grow up. Expect a delightful cast of eccentric characters in this heartfelt performance that gracefully balances humor and poignant reflection.

From November 4, 2026, to January 10, 2027, the Apollo Theatre in the 11th arrondissement hosts L'arbre d'Hippolène. This theatrical production follows Hippolène, a character who is half-girl and half-squirrel, as she navigates the emotional landscape of losing her grandmother. Within the roots of her tree-home, she confronts her fears and discovers the meaning of finiteness through encounters with eccentric, whimsical characters. This paid event is performed by a cast of five actors. Whether you attend on a Wednesday, Saturday, or Sunday, you are invited to witness a touching journey of personal growth and acceptance.

Hippolène is an anthropomorphic creature, a blend of a young girl and a squirrel, who embarks on a profound journey of self-discovery following the death of her grandmother. Her path leads her deep into the roots of her home, a giant tree, where she must face her deepest insecurities and the reality of life's limitations. Throughout her quest, she is guided and challenged by a series of offbeat, surreal characters described as Pontiesque.

The cast features Alex Dey, Fanny Passelaigue, Aymeric de Nadaillac, Violette Erhart, and Diane Vaz. The play is held at the Apollo Theatre in Paris and runs from November 4, 2026, until January 10, 2027. Performances take place on Wednesdays from 14:00 to 15:00, Saturdays from 11:00 to 12:00, and Sundays from 14:30 to 15:30. As this is a ticketed event, booking your seats in advance is required to ensure entry.
