other · 2026-08-17

The stage adaptation of Mélissa Da Costa's bestselling novel 'Tout le bleu du ciel', directed by Mikaël Chirinian, is now playing at La Pépinière Théâtre in Paris. The novel, which has sold over 10 million copies, tells the story of Emile and Joanne, two characters with nothing in common except an overwhelming desire to abandon their lives. They embark on a road trip without a map or destination, exploring themes of self-discovery and the question of what remains when one forgets everything. The production features actors Audran Cattin and Blanche Sottou in the lead roles. The adaptation has received positive press reviews, with publications such as COUPS D'ŒIL praising its 'remarkable fluidity' and calling it a 'gem', TATOUVU noting it 'awakens the world's appetite' and offers 'an hour and twenty minutes of fresh air', and LA PROVENCE describing it as 'brilliant'. The event is a partner of the Club Artistik Rezo.
