Théâtre improvisation Carole _ Compagnie des Alpes

March 13, 2025: Improvisation Theatre with Carole

Carole is about to leave her parents and her native mountain to pursue her dream of becoming an actress in Paris. Through the story of her three characters, this play explores themes close to our hearts: family relationships, rural life, unspoken words, and secrets…

All of this is handled with subtlety, humor, and whimsy. A tribute to ordinary people, who are, nonetheless, so unique.

WHO IS CAROLE ? 🎩 I'M GETTING MY TICKET!

Voyage au bout de l'amour par la Comédie des Alpes à Méribel

March 20, 2025 : a journey to the end of love

Discover the latest original creation by Thomas Caruso Aragona.

A play that is as funny as it is modern, performed by four actors who, in a true theatrical feat, bring 18 characters to life to tell interwoven stories.

It’s the story of a man who writes a play for his wife, so she’ll never forget how much he loves her. Or perhaps, it’s the opposite.
It’s the tale of a boundless love that defies time and life itself, a journey to the very end of everything.
It’s also the story of a dreamy, poetic boy, hopelessly in love with a girl whose name is that of a flower.

A performance that dares to answer a question few would dare ask: What if love were, in the end, the last link that truly connects us to life?
