At the Théâtre Marelios, dark humor and a quirky world

Au théâtre Marelios, humour noir et univers décalé© La Gazette du Var

With a focus on school audiences, representing 11 performances throughout the year. With the stated aim of rediscovering the carefree nature of our childhood. Thierry Albertini confirms the Ville's ambition: "The season is placed under the sign of laughter, poetry, and virtuosity, with a performer's mood here, a little touch of burlesque there, in the spirit of our elders Jacques Tati and Pierre Étaix."

TUILES

Family theater

Tuesday, March 11 at 7:00 p.m.

A tender and naive character, somewhere between Jacques Tati and Pierre Étaix, creates a quirky and poetic world in which he manipulates everyday objects diverted from their usual function: a magic stool on which balls bounce before disappearing, a drying rack that rebels to become a disjointed bird... and cans of chips with improbable contents. For this inveterate foodie devours entire cans of his curved chips throughout this funny show!

INTERZONE, 5ème jour

Concert

Saturday, March 22 at 8:30 p.m.

Once upon a time there were two men, one wrote from left to right, the other from right to left. One looked at the horizon from the ocean shore, the other looked at the plain from his mountainside. One plays electric to make six strings ring; to tune twelve strings, the other needs time. Their meeting in Damas was a wonder where, alternately, one was a weaver making wefts and the other was a sculptor and painter of atmospheres. Each in turn a sailor navigating by the wind or a caravan leader steering by the stars. Four albums were born from this meeting. Here is the fifth, a series of songs linked by a key and a leitmotif where energy rooted deep in the earth gradually unfolds in a serene calm and rises toward the sky, like tree branches blossoming lightly as they reach the ether. Admission from €7 to €15. From age 12. Duration: 1 hour 15 minutes.

Oud: Khaled Aljaramani.

Electric guitar: Serge Teyssot-Gay.
