Show: Pandora's Box

A masterful moment of biting humor and poetry by the legendary duo from the Cirque des Mirages.

Back on our stage for the third time—much to our delight—the legendary duo Cirque des Mirages is celebrating its 20th anniversary. Blending German Expressionist cabaret with Grand Guignol, Cirque des Mirages reinvents the art of the protest song with a jubilant darkness. They received the Télérama Award for Excellence (TTT).

Open Pandora’s box… Alternately a unsettling storyteller and a spellbinding singer, Yanowski captivates with his striking physicality. At the piano, Parker hammers out a strange rhythm with metronomic precision.

Hallucinatory writers, murderous poets, travelers without luggage—from songs to stories, discover a procession of offbeat characters whose common thread is their participation in the world’s lopsided march.

Surrealism, expressionism, enchantment, poetry, and rebellion constantly infuse a breathtaking performance that is absolutely unique on today’s French stage. A masterful, unforgettable moment, featuring a show of the highest quality, with a biting and irreverent humor that elicits chills, bursts of laughter, and standing ovations… Will you join the party?
