My Parents' cabaret

Theater, musical comedy about the history of cabaret from its origins to the present day, with live music, February 6–15, 2026, at Théâtre Les Salons.

Sur fond de rideau de théâtre jaune, le titre du spectacle.

A historical subject, not really academic, not fundamentally scientific, but rather sentimental and imaginary: the history of cabaret from its origins to our nights out, the genealogy of the caf-conce, music hall, and Kabaret. From the age of fire wars through chivalry, courtly love, romanticism, military comedy, to contemporary and futuristic music hall populated by stars and visions. A series of sketches and songs for an evening of daydreaming, love, and humor.

A musical comedy conceived and directed by Philippe Cohen

With the collaboration of many masters of rhyme and swing, including Bobby Lapointe, Aristide Bruant, Carlos Gardel, Brassens, Fats Waller, Piazzola, and others.

Two talented musicians, Gaëlle Poirier (accordion and bandoneon) and Narcisso Saùl (guitar and arrangements)

Characters played by Majbritt Byskov-Bridges, Philippe Cohen, Marie-Stéphane Fidanza, Claudia Lachat, Thomas Laubacher, and Kim Selamet—in short, the crazy troupe that escaped from the Protestant cabaret and the medical cabaret, all honorary members of the Opéra National Confiture...
