The artists’ current season and what to expect on our stage

Au lit! Demain c’est Noël arrives with fresh energy this season, reflecting the artists’ ongoing dedication to playful, accessible storytelling. Throughout the year, the creative team behind the production has been honing moments of interaction that bring younger audience members into the rhythm of the narrative without ever losing the thread of the bedtime adventure. On our stage, that careful craft is immediately visible: the performers shape scenes with bright, brisk exchanges and a gentle sense of mischief, inviting the room to join the final pre-sleep rituals—tidying, teeth-brushing, one last game, one last tale—until the inevitable last-minute surprises send the night spiraling into giggles again. In parallel with this run at Acte 2 Théâtre, the artists continue to build a repertoire that champions family-friendly theater with a clear, contemporary pulse, focusing on everyday situations transformed into big-stage moments. Their current artistic momentum shows in the crisp pacing, the attentive physicality, and the way small household details turn into theatrical sparks. In every beat, the show connects our audience to the simple joy of being together in the same room, telling and retelling the stories that make a holiday feel near.

From the venue’s perspective, what makes Au lit! Demain c’est Noël so rewarding is how seamlessly it fits the scale and sensibility of Acte 2 Théâtre.
