HIGHLIGHTS: LOUISE

At Théâtre du Rond-Point, Louise by Martin Zimmerman skilfully blends circus, theatre and dance to create an astonishing stage experience. Martin Zimmermann, a Swiss artist renowned for his daring creations and singular approach to performance, plunges you into the world of Louise, a character as mysterious as she is fascinating.

The show is distinguished by its inventive staging, in which Zimmermann explores themes of identity and transformation through surprising set designs and precisely choreographed movement. Modular sets and everyday objects become tools of metamorphosis, adding a surreal dimension to the show.

Louise doesn't just tell a story, but also highlights emotions and states of mind through powerful visuals. The four performers move from humour to raw emotion with astonishing fluidity. The carefully integrated music and sound effects enhance the dreamlike atmosphere of the show.

Every element of the show, from the costumes to the props, is designed to provoke thought about our own perception of reality and illusion.

Come and be surprised by this visually stunning, poetic show that pushes the boundaries of stage performance and opens up a whole new world of possibilities.

History and Fun Facts about Théâtre du Rond-Point

If you ever want to feel the pulse of the French theatre scene, the Théâtre du Rond-Point is the place to be! But which roundabout or "rond-point" is it exactly? It's one of the most famous roundabouts in Paris, located near the Champs-Elysées, smaller than the famous Etoile roundabout under the Arc de Triomphe. Since 1981, it has attracted a host of directors from all over the world and a host of people with a passion for theatre. A major venue for contemporary creation since 1991, the Rond-Point does not programme "what people like, but what they don't yet know they like", according to Jean-Michel Ribes, the theatre's former director. Since 2023, Laurence de Magalhaes and Stéphane Ricordel have taken over the reins of this theatre, which is still rooted in contemporary creation and focuses on living authors.
