Theater plays not to be missed in February

« We are not here to disappear” tells the story of Mr. T., suffering from Alzheimer’s disease, who, on July 6, 2004, stabbed his wife with five stab wounds. The voice of Mr. T. intersects with those of his relatives, doctors, and the author herself. This layering of discourse resonates, in each of us, the anguish aroused by forgetting and the erasure of memory.

“Jellyfish or our moving worlds” draws the portrait of an elusive youth, ready to invent new mythologies to understand their anxieties, their dreams, their desires. The company For Happy People & Co summons the genre of fantasy theater to blur the boundary between reality and screen fiction.

Jodie is an actress in Portland, Oregon and survives on odd jobs. Shortly before the death of her adoptive father, she learns that her story is not the one we wanted to tell her. She then embarks on a dizzying investigation into her origins with a mysterious one dollar bill as a clue. In the background of this road trip through the great American spaces, the 70s and its iconic artists of the Beat Generation like Leonard Cohen.

“Destroy Me” is an ironic and dreamlike appeal to desire, to brutality, to the delicacy of pleasure, carried by Emmanuelle Laborit accompanied by the Delano Orchestra. In front of us, a woman who cries, who loves, who dances, who shouts, who enjoys, who lives. As in a lyrical recital, a popular ball, a rock concert or a musical monologue, a single body reveals itself and signs its desires, its liberations, its wounds.

Being a living image is the daily life of the Creature, a baroque instagrammer, both narcissistic and spiritual. Laurent Bazin followed her across Europe and spied on her intimacy in a transgressive and disturbing role play. Three counterfeits is the true story of this encounter and its wanderings.

At 30, Yann Andréa recounts for the first time his unlivable and extraordinary love story with Marguerite Duras.

This play paints the portrait of a middle class that fears scandal. A serious event will reveal ordinary pettiness and force the protagonists to face each other. A slender text that confirms that hell is other people.

Discover this play on the glut of screens. A dystopian tragicomedy between Brecht and Black Mirror.

Céline, thirty-something years old, comes to live temporarily with her father following a separation. Cohabitation is made all the more difficult by the presence of a sheep, taken from the sheepfold that she had founded. Through a family and animal camera, “Lest(e)” probes the limits of empathy in a confined space.

By dissecting the twists and turns of a schoolgirl’s mind, “Me is Talia” dissects the turning point of adolescence from the point of view of thought.

How to start, where and how? It is an existential and universal question which touches all the subjects of our life, from our most elementary daily life to the most essential of our human condition. Grand Magasin lists our beginnings to make us want to take our first steps.

As funny as it is moving, the story of the extraordinary and tragic destiny of one of the greatest musicians of the 20th century.
