Le paradoxe de l'endive

A musical and theatrical escape between dream and emancipation, the transformation of a teenager into an adult

A musical and theatrical escape between dream and emancipation. The paradox of the endive is that uncertain moment when the teenager, his feet planted in the mess of his life, seeks to make his leaves grow. This show will be presented from July 5 to 26 at 2:55 p.m. on Mondays, Thursdays, and Saturdays at the Entrepôt Theater.
How can you chart your own path when family expectations push you in another direction? A dive into the transformation of a teenager into an adult: his doubts, his rebellions, and his desire to finally be himself. His parents imagine him as a virtuoso pianist... he dreams of being a drummer. Between bursts of laughter and suspended moments, it's nightmarish, funny, and beautiful.
"A humorous dive into the doubts, torments, and provocations of a period of human life that is identifiable among all others." La Terrasse.

The Taxi Brousse Company is taking on a new challenge: presenting The Utopia of Trees (Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays) and The Endive Paradox (Mondays, Thursdays, and Saturdays) alternately from July 5 to 26, 2025, at 2:55 p.m., at the L'ENTREPÔT theater during the next Avignon Off Festival.
