21:00 50 Birthday cakes
22:00 OPENING NIGHT - a vaudeville - Mark Tompkins & Mathieu Grenier
performance
If at first OPENING NIGHT might seem to be simply entertainment, a show composed of comical situations and tragicomic song-and-dance numbers (like Elvis Presley’s 'Are You Lonesome Tonight', Beyoncé’s 'Run The World (Girls)',...), a more ambivalent and touching fable about the joyful yet ferocious transmission between an ageing Star and his young protégé slowly emerges. So, welcome for a good, old cabaret!
