Love to the Death

About the event

*Amor à mort*, a comedy that explores romantic relationships in all their intensity, irrationality, and—at times—cruelty. The play unfolds through a series of fierce and exhilarating scenes that subvert expectations and elicit laughter.

Performed by four talented actors, the show navigates between dark humor, offbeat situations, and raw emotions. It plunges us into the heart of human contradictions, where passion runs wild and reason falters. Set to an original musical score, this biting comedy invites us to discover the most intimate and absurd aspects of love.

*Amor à mort* will be performed on December 5, 2026, at 8:30 p.m. at the Calais. Ticket price C is €22. Open to all ages 12 and up.

The Comedy of Errors

Calais

The Comedy of Errors On April 9, 2027, at 8:30 p.m., at the Calais Theater, the La Porte au Trèfle theater troupe presents "The Comedy of Errors," a burlesque adaptation of William Shakespeare's original farce. This play tells the story of twin brothers separated in childhood after a shipwreck, who happen to meet again in the same city and set out in search of their other selves. The result is a romantic and comical mix-up, where misunderstandings come thick and fast. No one understands anyone else anymore, and everything is at risk: the wedding, their financial situation... The five-actor troupe brings 15 characters to life with humor and creativity. The production is directed by Zelda Bourquin. Tickets are €22.

The Invitation

They star in a comedy written by Hadrien Raccah, in which Daniel—a husband feeling a bit stifled by his life—invents an imaginary friend as a way to escape. But when his wife decides to meet this mysterious Charlie, everything goes haywire. Daniel hires a stranger to play the part, a decision that quickly spirals out of control and turns this little arrangement into utter chaos. Misunderstandings, absurd situations, and unexpected twists: *L’Invitation* is a jubilant, closed-door comedy where masks come off and pretences shatter.
