Holidays are an opportunity to go out with the family.
In Paris, many shows are offered for children, whatever their age.
FOR THE TODDLERS
"Charlie Poppins", happy mix
Charlie has to go to the theater for his performance, but finds himself a victim of his friend Scratch's time machine.
It is therefore from the end of the world that she will trust her imagination to find her way ... And she can count on the help of colorful characters!
"Charlie Poppins" is a happy mix between theater, circus, the art of puppetry, mime, singing ... All accompanied by music, video, light shows, magic tricks, and an aerial hoop number ideal to amaze children who do not take their eyes off the artist.
Humor and poetry are also present in this interactive show between the characters and the audience.

The magician colors the landscapes
Originally, the world was black and white, with a bit of gray.
Now a magician is going to color the landscapes, the animals, the life, whatever.
For this very interactive show, children are in the front rows.
A good idea that allows toddlers to dive into history, wave scarves, blow on magic tricks.

In passing, the young audience takes a lesson in friendship.

The wolf always comes back
A safe bet for children, “The wolf is back” is backing up for a new season and a series of sessions of excited cries of the kids.
We do not see the muzzle of the gray beast, but the rabbit learns that he is back.
And on the teeth.
Panic !
As the show progresses, the Goat, Little Red Riding Hood, the Three Little Pigs in checkered costumes and the valiant Little Peter who disobeyed his grandfather, take refuge in Monsieur Lapin.

WITH CHILDREN
A Molière according to Daguerre
“Les Fourberies de Scapin” at the Théâtre Saint-Georges, in Paris (IXth) / Grégoire Matzneff
He has something with Molière, Jean-Philippe Daguerre - about whom we have talked a lot, and rightly so, in 2018, with his four Molières for his “Adieu Monsieur Haffmann”, his first play as an author, currently at the Théâtre de the Work, while its “Petit Coiffeur”, its new creation, begins at the Left Bank.
But it is with Molière that he cut his teeth.
And what weapons, drawing from each classic a cheerful spectacle.
He has put it on the stage so many times, always with the same gluttony, always with the same success, that his creations seem to remain on the stage in Paris.
A bon vivant from the South-West, he stages as he likes to eat, concocting with his troupe from the Grenier de Babouchka shows focused on pleasure and generosity, giving pride of place to farce without disdaining finesse.
And catches us for sure.

Musical and ecological in the jungle
In this very beautiful musical adaptation of "The Jungle Book", we immediately catch up with the new songs, the supercharged dances and the very beautiful costumes of the animal actors.
Do not think of finding the melodies of the Disney film.
Here, Mowgli and his friends have an ecological touch: elephants march against deforestation, Baloo eats organic, rides a bicycle and sees "life in slow".
Bagheera reminds Mowgli that without water "there is no more life."

A success.

WITH TEENS
Abkarian's Flaming Theater
"The Last Day of the Fast" / Antoine Agoudjian
"The theater prevents human wickedness from progressing," Simon Abkarian told us in June after receiving three Molières, including that of best francophone author for "Electre des bas-fonds".
Rewards that his "Last Day of the Fast" could have earned him.
What a joy to see it taken over at the Théâtre de Paris.
Rarely has a spectacle thrilled us so much as this “neighborhood tragicomedy”, a colorful and flamboyant chronicle of somewhere on the shores of the Mediterranean.
In a language of great beauty, lyrical at times, borrowing from the codes of the street from others, Abkarian paints the life there in all the contrasts of a small society, parents and neighbors, in which women will stand up against the established order.
There is certainly something Pagnol in these characters strong mouthed, passionate, sanguine or full of wisdom, with great blows of aphorisms, served by a dazzling troop, Abkarian, obviously, but also Ariane Ascaride, sublime, Assaad Bouab or even David Ayala.
It's funny and poignant, exhilarating as big theater can be, ambitious and popular.
From 14 years old.
“The Last Day of the Fast”, at the Théâtre de Paris (Paris IXe), Saturday and Sunday at 3:30 pm From 19 to 49 euros.
A relentless court thriller
Twelve jurors.
An accused that everyone wants to send to death without discussing.
Except one, who wants to talk about it and will manage to convince them all.
Immortalized in cinema with Henry Fonda, “12 angry men” is above all a masterfully orchestrated play here.
A brilliant and exciting spectacle.
From 12 years old.
“12 angry men”, at the Hébertot Theater, 78 bis boulevard des Batignolles (Paris XVII), from Thursday to Saturday at 6.30 pm, and Sunday at 5.30 pm From 15 to 42 euros.
The Great Escape Michalik way
Stunning actors, lightning changes of scenery, intoxicating rhythm and breathtaking history: Michalik knows like no one how to thrill an audience fond of a frenzied narration specific to series, but also to the theater.
A theater course in prison, a closed door from which we escape, carried away by a story that multiplies its meanders.
A puzzle whose pieces are received in a clever disorder.
Thrilling.
From 14 years old.
“Intra Muros”, at the Théâtre de la Pépinière, 7 rue Louis-le-Grand (Paris, IIe), Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 6.30 pm, Saturday and Sunday at 4 pm.
From 12 to 54 euros.
"False British" and real giggles
On the bill since 2016 at Saint-Georges, they never stop bending their laughter, or when a troupe of amateurs decides to put together a little-known Conan Doyle thriller… Jubilant.
Thrown at full speed into the wall without succeeding in straightening the trajectory, they run into disaster with hilarious phlegm.
It's howling with laughter.
From 12 years old.
“Les Faux British” at the Théâtre Saint-Georges, 51 rue Saint-Georges (Paris IXe).
Saturday at 6 p.m. and Sunday at 4 p.m.
From 15 to 42 euros.
