Parnership with France Inter
Based on John Berger’s account of the life of a doctor in 1960s rural England, Un métier ideal is at once a coming-of-age tale, a sociological analysis and a philosophical enquiry
on human nature and the meanings of empathy. After adapting the writings of French film critic Serge Daney, Nicolas Bouchaud and stage director Éric Didry draw the portrait
of a man completely dedicated to his calling.

Talents Adami Theater, Mohamed El Khatib Stand-up
What will it be this time: thunderous applause or icy silence? In Mohamed El Khatib's opinion, the inherently risky nature of stand-up comedy elevates it to a theatrical art in its own right.

Have a good day! arises from the collaboration of Vaiva Grainytė, Lina Lapelytė, and Rugilė Barzdžiukaitė.

Mohamed Bourouissa, Zazon Castro Quartier de femmes
At the crossroads between theatre and stand-up, the first show by the visual artist Mohamed Bourouissa brings to the stage the different phases in the life of a woman in prison and its transformations. In the absence of pathos, the piece uses humour to circumvent the arduous nature of its subject matter.

Who is Diyaa Yamout, the Lebanese human rights activist, artist and blogger whose suicide shook the nation? We will never really know and this is not what matters. Indeed, what is far more fascinating here is the profusion of assorted reactions on Facebook, the television, and in the form of SMS and answering machine messages
