L'omelette aux champignons — Claire Lapeyre Mazérat & Mélanie Martinez Llense

At the helm of Moulisex, leader in hand-molded latex sex toys: Mélanie, ambitious CEO, and her partner Claire, left-wing heiress in charge of the "wellness and care" department. The couple invites a lobbyist-startupper holding a patent for an organic sex toy and his senator wife — a bit conservative — to a decisive dinner for the future of the declining business. But the omelette served that evening, a bit too special, will blow apart masks, couples, progressive certainties, and power dynamics.

With this hallucinatory farce, inspired by the famous play Potiche, Claire Lapeyre-Mazérat and Mélanie Martinez-Llense paint a portrait as funny as it is lucid of a well-meaning woke petite bourgeoisie, caught in a vice between its ambitions and its contradictions. Between Judith Butler and Les Bronzés, this creation promises a jubilant reflection on our era.

L'Omelette aux champignons is served. Enjoy your meal!

La Maison des Métallos, in partnership with Peuple & Culture, invites you to a collective reading workshop on the book T'es sérieuse ? Problèmes politiques de l'ironie by Laélia Véron and Guillaume Fondu, published in early 2026 by Éditions La Découverte.

Irony is praised from all sides. It can make you laugh and think at the same time. By playing on effects of mention and echo, it allows, for example, a critical reconsideration of dominant discourses.

But to what extent is this critical discourse political? Does it help cement a political community or rather maintain certain prejudices in the comfort of insularity? Is it an instrument of emancipation capable of overturning hierarchies or the expression of a privilege (gendered, literate, etc.)?

Certainly, irony challenges our tendency to adhere unthinkingly to fashionable discourses. But it is also an evasive discourse, reluctant to fix content, refusing to take sides, making a risky gamble: repeating a target discourse to ridicule it, at the risk however of normalizing it.

Far from easy distinctions between "good" and "bad" irony (which in reality amounts to distinguishing between irony that pleases us and irony that does not), this book, by analyzing numerous controversial examples, investigates the political ambiguities of irony in the contemporary world.

Collective reading is a method of discovering a book together. It is recommended not to read the book beforehand! The Métallos team will provide a copy, cold drinks, and treats for a friendly moment of sharing.

Audience warm-up (WED. 16 JUNE 2027｜19h15) Take a moment for yourself before the show, a transition time between your daily life and the theatre hall. Accompanied by Marine Désessard, share a few movements, breaths, words, or knowing glances to let go and better welcome the show.

Tactile tour of the stage (THU. 17 JUNE 2027｜18h) Explore the set and universe of the show before the performance thanks to a tactile tour of the stage, specially designed for blind and visually impaired people.

Post-show discussion (THU. 17 JUNE after the performance) Exchange with the artistic team after the performance.
