Fête des Vendanges de Montmartre
Each year, the harvest festival attracts artists of Montmartre, Parisians and tourists seeking an authentic and unforgettable event. The 77th edition will be held from 6 to 10 October 2010 on the theme of humor. For the occasion, the actor Gerard Jugnot be the godfather of this new edition. “Montmartre celebrates Comedy” will feature the ban harvest, the famous ceremonies of “non-marriage proposals,” an overview of regional products, and a firework display at Sacred Heart to close the harvest. These five days of festivities will be the opportunity to stroll from Montmartre to the neighborhood of La Goutte d’Or. Keep this in mind, however: drink with moderation!
Tea with mint or lemon yourself?
Funny title for a play is not it? But the repertory company of Danielle Navarro-Haudecoeur and Patrick Haudecoeur features a paniked group of actors. The reason? The repetition of their “piece de boulevard” where a gentleman burglar enters an aristocrat house. All the characters are expected to be represented: from the cuckolded to the lover hiding in the closet. But on the last days, nothing is ready: the technicians are phlegmatic, the director is overwhelmed, and the actors are in a nervous breakdown. In addition, this is not the leading man, the son of producer, who will be able to manager the crisis! Awkward, shy and bumbling, he is the generator of a series of unexpected gags that the other actors are desperately trying to catch up.
From Tuesday to Friday at 8:30pm. Saturday at 6pm and 9pm.
Price: 37,50€.

Une Vie Sur Mesure
By itself, Adrien Lepage (Cédric Chapuis) shakes and moves the audience. As Forest Gump, he is autistic. As Billy Elliot, his passion for the drums is prohibited to him. It sounds silly, but he is just different. Adrian taught himself to play with the means at hand, connecting with virtuosic pieces for all types (jazz, bossa nova, hard rock …). He lives his passion for the drums as an escape from this world he does not understand. Although he appears funny, this play shows us a young isolated kid inappropriate for school. In addition to his poor performance, which is confronted with ever younger comrades, Adrian has no friends and an alcoholic father who despises him. But beneath its innocent air, funny and touching the boy keeps a terrible secret. Will he reveal it to you?
Until June 26, 2010, Tuesday to Saturday at 20.30.
Price: 24.10€.
