While on the road to bury a family member, Nina and her mother take advantage of the journey to unearth some very sharp hatchets.
One thing is certain: it's not just the car's tires that are going to get punctured!
Yolande, a volcanic, possessive and disarmingly dishonest mother, has only one hobby: driving her daughter crazy.
Nina, for her part, just dreams of a little air… but with Yolande, even oxygen is in conflict.
Between fierce arguments, awkward tenderness and indestructible love, this mother-daughter duo goes through all the speeds — from fits of laughter to tears, without ever braking.
Embrasse ta Mère is a tragicomic comedy that is as biting as it is moving, served by the explosive duo Lentini / Dubernet, under the direction of the flamboyant Michel Fau.
A family outing from which no one emerges unscathed — neither the characters nor the spectators.

Rediscover the magic of the TE MOE Festival: an invitation to travel, a meeting place where dreams, illusions, poetry, and laughter intertwine. A suspended moment where the boundaries of reality fade away, giving way to wonder.
More than just a series of acts, this second edition is a true collective artistic creation conceived especially for Polynesia. Gathered in Tahiti for the duration of the festival, five exceptional artists, among the most brilliant representatives of contemporary magic and visual arts, from Europe and Asia, will together construct an original show: an ephemeral and unique work, born from the encounter of their talents and their worlds.
Spain will occupy a prominent place with Mario Lopez, World Champion of Magic , master of a visual magic where objects seem to live their own existence. His tender and clumsy character draws us into a universe inspired by silent cinema, mime and contemporary clowning.
"Creatively ingenious, he knows how to work magic with almost any everyday object." Vila Magica
By his side, Miguel Muñoz , also World Champion of Magic will offer a poetic experience on the border between dream and reality.
"Surprise, the impossible, poetry, and the absurd are present at every moment." Pittsburgh Cultural Trust
Japan will be represented by Fuki , a major figure in the new generation of Japanese magicians and Japanese Magic Champion A specialist in close-up and coin magic, he develops a world of great finesse, where technical virtuosity disappears in favor of wonder.
"Impeccable dexterity. One of the best coin magicians in the world today!" Harapan Magic
Finally, the public will find Clement Blouin , revelation of France's Got Talent 2025 Magician and comedian, he develops a resolutely original approach where magic is put at the service of laughter, through absurd situations, offbeat humor and constant interaction with the public.
"Incredible and funny! The highlight of the show. Amazing!" FRANCE 2 ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
The festival will also host Zenaïda Alcalde An internationally renowned aerial artist and exceptional trapeze artist, she will move between sky and earth in performances blending grace, magic and poetry.
"Splendid! Zenaïda Alcalde needs very little to reach the heavens." Madrid Diary
By bringing together some of the most renowned artists on the international scene, the TE MOE Festival affirms a strong ambition: to offer the Polynesian public an extraordinary artistic experience where magic, circus, and visual arts converge to create a unique and unforgettable event. A show that will only exist in Tahiti… for the duration of the festival!
Clément Blouin is a magician AND a comedian, or rather a comedian AND a magician, you be the judge!
In this hilarious and astonishing one-man show, Clément Blouin blends magic, humor, and personal anecdotes to recount his incredible journey. From his first magic tricks to his most improbable adventures, he takes the audience on a fast-paced journey where bursts of laughter follow moments of pure illusion.
With infectious energy, a great rapport with the audience and inventive and interactive magic, Clément proves that the wildest dreams can come true… provided you don’t listen to those who tell you that “magician is not a real job”.
A family-friendly, generous and surprising show, where you laugh as much as you marvel!

LAURIE PERET – SEE YOU SOMEWHERE SOON
September 19, 2026 at the Grand Theatre of the House of Culture.
If we knew her until now as an overwhelmed mother, Laurie Peret leaves the character to present herself as a single woman in her forties.
From her inability to run a household alone, to her addictions which she battles every other week, her love for dangerous men or the complex story of her birth, she portrays her daily life as "a series of entertaining catastrophes for which she is solely responsible."
But although she is "her own worst danger," she is doing well. She is doing well because she has finally met someone: herself.
A second, effective show, much more stand-up than the first but just as musical. We find his songs accompanied by a small piano, his trademark, although this time it's not a toy but a real instrument with retro-funk colors.
For her, the appointment is set; see you somewhere soon.
The first social and musical festival that celebrates women through a large, unifying concert.
3 singers with exceptional artistic universes.
Inspired by the Polynesian Vahine, a symbol of beauty recognized throughout the world, this musical event celebrates female talents while carrying strong messages about the personalities of Fenua.
In the exceptional setting of Tahiti by Pearl Resorts, live to the rhythm of Papehau, OWA and Valentine Lambert.
Beyond the music, Vahine Live Tahiti is an invitation to come together around the same values, solidarity and cohesion.
To experience during the evening:
• Live concerts by 3 artists: Papehau, OWA and Valentine Lambert
• An exceptional beachfront setting, Le Tahiti Pearl Beach Resort Hotel
• Travel and discovery of world music
“Origami: or the art of folding.

From the First World War to the Russian Revolution of 1917, from the rise and fall of Nazism to the birth of Israel, Kessel lived through the upheavals of the century with an insatiable thirst for life. An insatiable explorer, he traveled the world – from Afghanistan to the Horn of Africa – and crossed paths with legendary figures like Édith Piaf and Humphrey Bogart.
This play is a true journey between history, literature, and human adventure.

Sometimes, a single second is all it takes for destiny to change direction…
And what if, tonight, you did The Choice to laugh, to be moved… and to be surprised?
Performed with energy by Moea Malherbe (Les Bonobos, Les Fourberies de Scapin…) and Thierry Latrobe (Haute Couture, Les Bonobos…), this subtle and humorous comedy is written and directed by Pierre Cosso.
Before continuing his adventure in Paris with Pascal Légitimus, and then in Italy, It is in Polynesia that this story comes to life.
ABSTRACT
Between 1966 and 1996, as part of its military nuclear program, France conducted 193 atmospheric and then underground nuclear tests at Moruroa and Fangataufa. Under the guise of protecting peace, France acquired a weapon capable of destroying the Earth.
These nuclear tests have left a lasting mark on French Polynesia. The political, economic, social, environmental, and health upheavals are considerable.
The show illustrates the dreams of progress and prosperity promised by France, then relays the words of witnesses, presenting the actions themselves rather than simply recounting old memories. It sheds light on the reality of nuclear power, the initial awakenings, the illnesses, the shattered lives, and the social and environmental disasters.
INTENTION
Revisiting this often controversial period of our history allows everyone to better understand why and how the nuclear tests conducted by the French State took place, based on existing testimonies and declassified "defense secret" documents.
By giving voice to these memories and reactivating a still painful collective memory, the performance invites the audience to confront a complex history – not to judge, but to understand. In a quest for justice and truth, so that the past may illuminate the future.
Three years after his last show “Emmanuel”, Manu Payet returns as a dad and boomer – but still without tobacco or gluten – to tell us the sequel: “Emmanuel 2”.
With this new show, the 48-year-old comedian and actor delivers a delightful chronicle of a forty-year-old, almost fifty-year-old, in which he casts a tender, lucid and resolutely curious eye on this new stage of his life.
"What makes me a fake boomer is that I remain curious." – Les Échos, April 5
And it is precisely this curiosity that is driving him today to take a new step in his professional career: for the first time, Manu Payet is coming to present his show in Tahiti, on February 19 and 20, 2027 at the Grand Théâtre of the Maison de la Culture.
THE SHOW:
Three years after his first one-man show "Emmanuel", which was a great success with the public and allowed him to establish himself on the comedy scene, Manu Payet returns with a brand new show: "Emmanuel 2". In it, he continues the story of his own life and personal experiences.
He opens his heart to everything he says: fatherhood, his addictions, his attachment to Réunion Island, his fears, the passage of time that sometimes overwhelms him. He also pays tribute to those around him – his mother, his father, his wife (nicknamed "De Gaulle") and his 6-year-old daughter – all with kindness, sincerity, humor and a wealth of anecdotes.
With this show, Manu Payet offers a true comedic therapy experience, where everyone can recognize themselves in certain situations and escape reality. An hour and a half of intimate, authentic, and sincere entertainment that makes you laugh, warms your heart, and is above all a live experience!
BIOGRAPHY :
Originally from Réunion Island, Manu Payet first became known to the public through his voice: he began his career at NRJ Réunion, before being spotted by the national station. He then hosted several popular shows, including MyNRJ and the Morning du 6/9.
In 2003, he turned to television, starting with parodies of reality TV shows on the Comédie! channel, then for various channels, including TPS Star, M6, France 2 and CANAL+.
In 2008, he made his film debut, taking on roles in Gad Elmaleh's "Coco," Dominique Farrugia's "Love is Better with Two," and "Tout ce qui brille" and "Nous York" alongside Géraldine Nakache and Leïla Bekhti. He also lent his voice to animation, appearing in "Ice Age," "Kung Fu Panda," and "Boule et Bill."
But it is definitely on stage that Manu Payet finds his true passion: in writing and creating his own shows, characterized by a subtle mix of humor, authenticity and emotion – like a discussion between friends.
In his new one-man show, Gérémy Crédeville explores the theme of choice with this question: "Why choose?".
Refusing to confine himself to a single discipline, he makes us laugh with his sketches, in stand-up comedy and also in music.
With his inimitable style, Gérémy questions us about the freedom of not limiting ourselves, all with a generous dose of self-deprecation.
In short, a true Enchanter.
Booder in "Ah... school!"
After the enormous success of “Booder is back”, Booder took up his notebook and his four-color pencil to write us a funny and touching show about school.
From the school of his childhood to that of his son today, he paints us with humor the portrait of the school system. A school system in peril which nevertheless is the basis of the well-being of our children. Everything is there. His friends, school bullying, recess, his teachers.
Known for the hilarious private lessons he gives his son, he returns with a show for the whole family in his schoolbag!
