La Comédie de Reims presents: Psychopharmaka Psychopharmaka, eine Winterreise delves into the German language where, amongst others, the voices of Kaspar Hauser and the dada poet Raoul Hausmann are mixed with samples, loops and other rhythmic constructions crafted by Rodolphe Burger with the help of Olivier Cadiot.

La Comédie de Reims presents: Nous qui sommes cent From Henning Mankell to Jonas Hassen Khemiri, Swedish contemporary theatre is tuned into to the world around us. What better way of appreciating such authors and their texts than by listening to them in an intimate studio space? A unique opportunity to discover unpublished plays by authors never staged in France.

La Comédie de Reims presents: Jan Karski (mon nom est une fiction) Out of Yannick Haenel’s novel Jan Karski (My name is an invention), the director Arthur Nauzyciel retraces the path of Jan Karski, the Polish resistant who attempted in vain to expose to the Allies the genocide perpetrated by the Nazis.

La Comédie de Reims presents: Les inÉducables STOCKHOLM / Qui vaut-il mieux éduquer ? Les enfants ? Les adultes ? Les deux ? Aucun ?

Un texte mis en scène par Suzanne Osten sur un mode ludique, à la fois léger et profond.
La Comédie de Reims presents: Herrmann’s battle (Einen Kleist) In Herrmann’s Battle, Rimini Protokoll’s new piece, the theme of war as explored in the work of Heinrich von Kleist is considered alongside the modern issue of cyber attacks, which have become more and more prevalent in the digital field. The result is a surprising confrontation, in the spirit of the collective’s previous works, which admirably consider developments in the modern world.
La Comédie de Reims presents: Oncle Vania Never previously shown in France, Jürgen Gosch interpretation of Uncle Vanya is of a rare intensity. The demanding and singular art of this great figure of European theatre is particular apparent in this dazzling show where Anton Chekhov’s text is performed by high calibre actors.
La Comédie de Reims presents: Je te console lÀ ? Children and adults are observed, confronted, imagined as if reflected in a mirror. Am I comforting you? written by Ann-Sofie Bárány and directed by Suzanne Osten considers the way childhood is prolonged throughout adult life, but also the adult vision of the world experienced by children. How to be yourself? How to live together? Such questions are developed in a show that is as imaginative as it is deeply moving.
La Comédie de Reims presents: Politique From Henning Mankell to Jonas Hassen Khemiri, Swedish contemporary theatre is tuned into to the world around us.

From the Wagnerian ‘Gesamtkunstwerk’ to dada anti-theatre, through to ‘happenings’, there are many points of convergence between these disciplines, which have notably contributed to changing the relationship between a piece, its audience and space. Performance is a good example of these transdisciplinary mixings. As part of the third instalment of Reims Scènes d’Europe, the FRAC Champagne-Ardenne celebrates this ephemeral art form by inviting artists from all over Europe.
