Highlights: Car/Men

Les Chicos Mambo are back at the Théâtre Libre, and this time they haven't just revisited Carmen, they've catapulted it into the 21st century with Car/Men, an explosion of joy not to be missed! After five years of glitz and glamour with their crazy dance show Tutu, the Chicos are back at Bobino to make your head spin with their new creation.

 

Under the masterful direction of Philippe Lafeuille, Bizet would probably have nodded in approval at this frenetic version of his masterpiece. Eight overexcited dancers and a virtuoso singer take you on a whirlwind tour where masculine and feminine merge with disconcerting ease.

Story: Car/Men

Car/Men, now showcased at Théâtre Libre, transcends the boundaries of a mere show; it's an artistic explosion where dance converges with humour and theatre engages in a playful flirtation with clowning. Envision Carmen 2.0, adorned with digital pirouettes, lyrical notes, and eruptions of laughter echoing throughout the theatre.

 

Car/Men is a sensory journey where modernity and tradition dance in perfect harmony. Book your tickets before the curtain goes up, and prepare to be dazzled by this extravagant and totally original show.

Théâtre Libre


Le Théâtre Libre, previously known as Le Comédia, was built in just six months by the architect Charles Duval in 1858. It experienced an unsteady start and soon declared bankruptcy. However, in 1862 it was transformed into the Eldorado, and became the most famous concert cafe in Paris. It retained its popularity for over 60 years, undergoing various phases of renovations during which its glamorous spirit was reflected through the addition of a metallic canopy entryway.

 

This renowned venue played an important role in shaping the cultural prowess of the Roaring Twenties, and has hosted many stars, including Mistinguett and Maurice Chevalier, both French actor-singers. In 1932 it was converted into a large cinema, returning to its original role as a theatre in 1971. Since this time, the stage has been used for musical performances of all kinds. In recent years, it began to feature many other types of theatrical performances to the great delight of the Parisian public.
