Lhe Theaters, organized by the Baladins de Breuil-Magné, have become an essential event in the Rochefort region for lovers of live performance.

This will be the opportunity to discover four pieces selected at the Molières! Thus, “The return of Richard 3 by the 9:24 a.m. train” was nominated in 2023 for the Molières in the best comedy category, “Adieu monsieur Haffmann” received four Molières including best private theater show and best French-speaking author alive, “Intra-Muros” was nominated seven times for the Molières and “Le vent des poplars” four times.
The program
Friday, November 29 at 8:30 p.m. and Saturday, December 7 at 8:30 p.m., the Baladins will perform “Adieu Monsieur Haffmann” by Jean-Philippe Daguerre. The story of a Jewish jeweler who, to escape the raids, offers his employee to give him his shop in exchange for accommodation in the cellar. But in turn, the new owner makes a most surprising request of his former boss. A very moving but often funny play, adapted for the cinema by Fred Cavayé, with Daniel Auteuil and Gilles Lellouche in the main roles.
Saturday November 30 at 8:30 p.m. and Sunday December 8 at 3 p.m., Les Baladins present their new show, “Le vent des poplars” by Gérald Sibleyras. Three veterans of the Great War, but still in the prime of life, dream of leaving their hospice to join the poplars shaken by the wind on the hill opposite and thus escape Sister Madeleine! If these three old men make you laugh, they are nonetheless very touching.
Sunday 1is December at 3 p.m., “Intra-muros” by Alexis Michalik, a play performed by the Théâtre de l’Ombre de Saintes. A returning director offers theater workshops in a prison. Great public success for this play in which the author weaves one of the craziest stories with astonishing mastery and humanity.
Friday, December 6 at 8:30 p.m., “The return of Richard 3’s train by the 9:24 a.m. train” by Gilles Dyreck, performed by the Tréteau des deux tours de La Rochelle, created to celebrate the company’s 70th anniversary. Pierre-Henri brings his family together for a week in his country house to try to reconcile with them. But this experience takes him far beyond what he could have imagined. It’s the comedy of the year with crazy humor, it makes you cry with laughter.
