7 Péchés Capitaux
Do you remember the Seven Deadly Sins – ALL of them? When were you last tempted? Did you resist? Or did you give in? With renowned humour and passion for short plays to suit every taste, Sydney French Theatre put together a devilishly funny ensemble of short plays in May 2011. It was inspired by the Seven Deadly Sins. Up-to-the-minute and devilishly entertaining, our seven short plays took audiences on an eclectic and thrilling journey of temptation! It featured devils, angels and the struggle between good and evil. | Les Fourberies de Scapin Sydney French Theatre's 1930s adaptation of Moliere's last farce not only retained its original language and structure but also engaged a modern audience, adult and children alike. Scapin is a witty bartender who brilliantly tricks his patrons out of money that their respective sons need to support their lovers. The cabaret style performance involved dancing, singing and lots and lots of laughs |

Territoire Sans LumiereYves Nilly En scene par Matthieu Reure Samedi 18 13:30 | Mardi 21 19:00 Territoire sans lumière ressemble à une audition de music-hall. Et comme dans ces auditions, les acteurs chantent, dansent, et s'efforcent de garder un sourire crispé en travers de la figure. Ils se sont bien habillés, trop bien même, parce que cette audition ressemble aussi à la vie. Ils défilent, sans nom, avec un numéro, devant deux fonctionnaires, anonymes eux aussi. Et tout le monde chante. Pièce courte.
