A journey into the surreal, epic and darkly funny world of intensive care. This is the gripping, amusing, blistering account of a talented young actor, who suddenly and brutally finds herself at death's door. A simple case of the flu takes a turn for the worse, and the young woman is rushed to hospital. With her heart failing and her life in the balance, the medical team decide to place her on a cardiopulmonary bypass machine. On stage, the machine and the medical team are portrayed by a nurse/musician. So strange for a heart to fail at the tender age of 29...

Theatre - "Mon Ami La Fontaine"
Saturday 20 January 2024, at 8:30 pm, Theatre Variétés
Of all the great minds of the 17th century, with whom Nicolas Fouquet surrounded himself and who would illuminate the reign of the Sun King Louis XIV himself, the foremost was perhaps Jean de la Fontaine. The writer of fables was also one of the boldest, in the face of a youthful monarch greedy for power, and the only one of those great minds to remain a faithful supporter of his friend, Fouquet, for whom he regularly petitioned the King for clemency, in vain.
