Cut ! Des histoires, des vies... de Mathilda May

Following its success at the Grande Halle de La Villette in January 2026, the company of Mathilda May takes over La Scala Paris for a series of 7 exceptional performances!

A whirlwind of contemporary situations, an anthology of stories at once believable and extreme!

A pair of lovers strolling in the forest, a coach and his team at halftime, strangers trapped in an elevator, or a doctor looking for a hospital bed for a patient...

Mathilda May directs these contemporary situations carried by six actors with physical and committed performances. Echoing the current codes of "scrolling", the fragmented form condenses stories to extract key moments. With a powerful sound score and frantic pacing, Cut! gives us a glimpse of humanity in all its richness and complexity.
