A CERTAIN MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM

burlesque show where dance and theatre mingle with music and
singing. Richard Demarcy directs with brio the Naïf Théâtre’s
actors on stage, originally from France, Senegal, Taiwan,
Cameroon, Portugal, Angola and Quebec, to better suggest the
story of interlaced worlds.
HAMLET

contemporary, physical and intense. Shot at the Maison des Arts
in Créteil.

THE LITTLE PRINCE
This play is an adaptation of The Little Prince, by Antoine de
Saint-Exupéry, the most read, the most translated book in the
French language (translated into more than 250 languages) and
one of the best-selling books ever published. The narrator, an
airplane pilot, crashes in the Sahara desert. A blond boy asks
him to draw a sheep. They become friends. Initiatory and
humanist tale, it questions our civilization, reaffirming the
necessity of solidarity and poetry. It is a unique theater play, with
video, music and a sand artist plunging us into a sensitive world,
where the time to draw a picture is as important as the drawing
itself.

make it possible to understand her mistake.

AVE CESAIRE
This theatrical adaptation of the texts “Afriques Diaspora
Négritude” by Marc Alexandre Oho Bambe (Captain Alexandre)
flirts between slam, poetry, theater and music. It is a manifesto
against the oversight of the black condition, which invites to a
reflection on the black legacy. It is also a tribute to Aimé Césaire
whose incandescent word, symbolizes the breath of the
standing man.

LITTLE STAIN
In a family house, a party is about to be thrown as a stranger
rings the door’s bell and says he wants to set fire to the house.
As the daughter invites him to come in, it’s the beginning of a
play between tragedy and comedy, full of humor, violence and
poetry.
THE DAMNED OF THE EARTH
Through this musical and poetic performance, you have a
chance to discover a small part of the work of the famous but
too often forgotten activist Frantz Fanon. Even though he was
French, he took part in the Algerian liberation movement (FLN)
during the Algerian war against France taking position for the
independence of the country at a very early stage and died as
an Algerian. His books exploring especially the psychiatric
consequences of colonization are still very accurate.

going through: his love for her makes him completely blind. You
will be moved by this very accurate play full of passion.
