See if you can catch a glimpse of the bells! Make a booking online today to secure your spot! Spaces are limited and fill up quickly.

Du foie gras sous le sapin ("Eat your heart out")
December 2025. As France battles an unprecedented winter heatwave, three broke housemates receive bad news: their rent is about to skyrocket. In the midst of a brutal cost-of-living crisis, this blow threatens not only their already fragile budget but, even worse, their beloved Christmas tradition: the annual foie gras marathon! Faced with their increasingly precarious situation, the trio of misfits find themselves divided over one existential question: how do you respond to a world that’s becoming more dehumanised every day, other than by becoming just like it? Sharp, irreverent, and fast-paced, this original dark comedy takes a brutally honest look at our anxious times, with plenty of wit and humour along the way. This show is performed entirely in French, with English surtitles projected above the stage.
