Le Café Enchanté

1944. Paris. The City of Light is gradually rising from the ashes of the Occupation. Life resumes its course in the streets, parks, and café terraces. But at Café de l'Impasse, Monsieur Henri, broke and cuckolded, is about to commit the unthinkable. It is getting late, the bar is about to close, and his trio of friends must find ploys to take his mind off things before he walks out. Thus begins a grand recital in song and choreography, sweeping an enchanted audience along with Monsieur Henri.

Accompanied on stage by virtuoso musicians, the characters introduce us to the enchanting world of the songs of the Frères Jacques in an original genre one might call a singing comedy, because it makes us laugh, makes us sing, and does us good. Through word and gesture, they carry us away, young and old alike, into a sparkling and delightful story, moving from slapstick to poetry, from grotesque to fairytale, from pastiche to magic; immensely funny and touching.

A musical, theatrical, and choreographic journey that takes you for a moment into a bewitching universe: Le Café Enchanté.
