Bal-Trap, a play By Xavier Durringer, is a bittersweet drama. The action takes place after a popular gig on the village square, where two young people begin their love story while two others try to restore their passionate love, the one they had before daily chores doused their flame. But bumps and bruises are present, hidden deep inside, ignored, but still guiding the characters toward a fate that prevents them from living their one true Love. Each of them is looking for a soul mate, but they cannot understand each other. They follow their “Sweet Dream” to escape their loneliness and their pasts, believing, with an insatiable faith, in a better future where true Love can move mountains and make them – and the rest of us – travel to the ends of the earth.
In French with English surtitles.
This play is not intented for audiences younger than 16.

A Comedy Drama by Denise Chalem in French with English surtitles.
Dominique and Caroline, who would never have met in the outside world, share the same cell in jail. Between laughter and tears, their friendship will delight you and remind you that life goes on in prison as much as in the open air.
Let Anne-Laure Reymond, Valérie Huguet, Laurence Sebeyran and Pascale Lazare, all well known to the public of Et Voila Theatre, lead you through this dance that breaks down solitude and keeps hope alive. Hermine Benard directs the story of these women behind bars, a theme that remains taboo in our society.
Note: intended for mature audience due to strong language.
First directed by the author in 2004 at the Théâtre du Rond Point in Paris, France.
