Rire aux étoiles - Theater Festival

For its sixth edition in Grimaud, the ‘Rire aux étoiles’ theatre festival returns to the bandstand on Place Neuve for four evenings of open-air performances, offering the chance to laugh under the stars with four professional theatre companies that the whole family can enjoy. An irresistible festival!

- Monday 6 July: ‘L'amour est dans le presque’ by JSBG Production
Ondine, a single farmer, sees two colourful suitors arrive: Kévin, an ambitious seducer attracted by her land, and Patrick, a naive but sincere poet. Between misunderstandings, betrayals and delirious farming situations, their encounter quickly turns into chaos in a rural comedy full of laughter and the smell of goats.

- Tuesday 7 July: ‘Un stylo dans la tête’ (A pen in the head) by the Russa Lux theatre company
Victor, a successful playwright, announces to his friends that he has drawn inspiration from them for his new play. But the revelation turns into a fiasco: between exposed secrets and reawakened grudges, the party becomes an explosive settling of scores. A sharp and hilarious comedy that will have you laughing... sometimes nervously!

- Wednesday 8 July: ‘La maîtresse de mon fils’ (My son's teacher) by the Bas les planches theatre company
Lionel, a divorced father, is summoned by his son's teacher after a drawing is deemed too risqué. Shocked by what he considers to be excessive zeal, he engages in a lively and funny face-to-face confrontation with the teacher. From confrontation to encounter, their exchanges take an unexpected turn, between clashing certainties and unforeseen rapprochements.

- Thursday 9 July: ‘Big Lies’ by the Esterelles theatre company
Étienne meets up with the ex-‘love of his life’ and, on the suggestion of his friend Gabriel, invites her to his country house. But between lies and misunderstandings, this weekend, far from being peaceful, turns into a real ordeal... An effective and hilarious boulevard comedy.

Performed in French.

Organised by the Culture and Heritage Department.
