ELIE SEMOUN: "CACTUS" - Thursday, August 20, 2026
You don't have to look far to understand the tone of CACTUS! In naming his new show CACTUS, Elie Semoun sets the tone: it's going to sting!
Over the past 30 years, the comedian has established himself as one of the most incisive and delightfully offbeat comedians on the French scene. His style, a blend of finesse and audacity, has inspired many generations of artists.
With CACTUS, Elie Semoun offers us a profound yet light-hearted vision of our society, between violence and inspiration, where the themes of intolerance, taboo and injustice are tackled without fudging, but always with that incisive touch that characterizes him.
La Palmeraie, 9pm. Price: 30 euros. 10 euros, under 16s.

THE OPERA LOCOS A CRAZY OPERA FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY! - Friday, August 21, 2026
Five eccentric opera singers come together for a recital. It's the beginning of a unique performance by these 5 lyrical artists, whose voices defy the gods in a surprising sequence of opera's most famous arias (Mozart's The Magic Flute, Bizet's Carmen, Offenbach's Les Contes d'Hoffmann, Puccini's Nessun Dorma /Turandot...), spiced up with a few borrowings from Pop.
But be warned, the story here is not that of "Carmen", "The Magic Flute" or
"Tosca", but that of Maria, Txitxi, Ernesto, Carmen and Alfredo, the famous locos who communicate only by singing.
La Palmeraie, 9pm. Price: 25 euros. 10 euros, under 16s.

The Black Blues Brothers, Cirque musical - Saturday, August 22, 2026
In an elegant nightclub reminiscent of the Cotton Club, following the whims of an extravagant vintage radio playing rhythm'n'blues music, the bartender and waiters transform themselves into performers. In turn, they become tightrope walkers, acrobats, human pyramids, fire limbo dancers and much more, accompanied by the lively soundtrack of John Landis' cult film The Blues Brothers.
THE BLACK BLUES BROTHERS is an acrobatic cabaret tribute to the cult film Blues Brothers, created in 2014 by 5 Kenyan acrobats whose talent did not escape the seasoned eye of director Alexander Sunny, with whom they developed this show.
After 26 dates at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in August 2023, The Black Blues Brothers won over 15,000 spectators and was voted Best Physical Theatre Show.
La Palmeraie, 9pm. Price: 25 euros. 10 euros, under 16s.

TRIBUTE TO ELVIS, An exceptional tribute to Elvis Presley with Mel Bouvey! - Sunday, August 23rd, 2026
For over 15 years, Mel Bouvey has been setting stages around the world ablaze with his vibrant tribute to the legendary King, Elvis Presley. A true embodiment of the king of rock 'n' roll, Mel Bouvey doesn't just sing Elvis classics, he lives them with a passion and authenticity that transport audiences into the unforgettable world of the 50s and 60s.
Whether solo or accompanied by a breathtaking 10-piece orchestra and talented female dancers, Mel Bouvey recreates the fiery performances and iconic moments that made Elvis Presley famous with striking precision.
A true performer. A semi-finalist at the European Championships in Blackpool in 2010 (the only Frenchman to achieve such a feat), he's able to get into character while remaining himself. A true lover of the King!
"A little gem of a musical show, as France has the secret. LE FIGARO

YA D'LA JOIE , An irresistible crazy cabaret - Tuesday, August 25, 2026
"Welcome to a crazy-crazy cabaret, plunged into the heart of the 1930s, where anything goes... except boredom. Y'a de la Joie strings together a series of tableaux with staggering energy and jubilant precision. Extravagant costumes, sparkling choreography and razor-sharp lines all combine to create a whirlwind of humor, absurdity and lightness. But beneath the veneer of laughter, there's a real artistic demand, and suspended moments that remind us that comedy is an art. A show where nothing is left to chance, brought to life by a brilliant cast. Certainly one of the funniest shows of the year.
Jérôme Chaudier, Avignon et moi (July 2025)
"Over an hour in a jubilant, burlesque bubble of happiness. A must-see, we loved it.
La Provence (July 21, 2025)
La Toscane, 9pm. Price: 20 euros. 10 euros, under 16s.

CYRANO DE BERGERAC, La compagnie Viva revisits its smash hit - Wednesday, August 26, 2026
"In 2010, we created the company's eighth show, which was to become its greatest success. At the time, we came from the world of Commedia dell'Arte, and Cyrano was one of the first great texts we took on.
The show played at the 2012 Avignon Off Festival, followed by over 300 tour dates all over France, and we played at the Théâtre Mogador in Paris - it was an incredible adventure.
Today, we're keen to get back to our characters and re-interrogate them after fifteen years. Fifteen years of theater, fifteen years of life, fifteen years as a troupe, fifteen years in which the world has been turned upside down by health, political and social crises. Fifteen years in which we've grown, each of us and together.
It's more than a reunion, it's a vital necessity today to rediscover these characters, this language, these passions, for they are more necessary than ever, indispensable if we are to feel firm ground beneath our feet once again in the chaos that seems to surround us.
