Boule à Neige

Directed by: Mohamed El Khatib and Patrick Boucheron Duration: 1h10 An erudite and joyfully irreverent performance that examines this bric-a-brac object, a cherished or naff souvenir, but also a collector's item: the snow globe! Exceptionally levelled out, the auditorium of La Colonne houses a curious little theatre in which 200 spectators are invited, at each performance, to discover an unexpected and fascinating story that questions good taste, memory and our relationship with objects.

Author, director, filmmaker and visual artist, Mohamed El Khatib develops intimate and social epics at the crossroads of theatre, literature and cinema. Alongside historian Patrick Boucheron, professor at the Collège de France, prolific author and media personality, he demonstrates that the snow globe deserves a shake, because it proves more complex than it looks! '(Save) the date for this rendezvous where humour blends so well with intelligence.' Patrick Sourd, Les Inrocks Informations: Free parking nearby.
