Theatre - "Chut ! Une pomme" Theatre
Wednesday 4 December 2024, at 5 pm, Théâtre Princesse Grace
A painter, halfway between Charlie Chaplin and Mr Hulot, wanders through the surrealist world of his home and its contents. He holds unlikely conversations with his radio set, his trusty everyday companion. But something is about to put a proverbial spanner in the works of mechanical daily existence. All it will take is a tiny apple to trigger a headlong rush from his sitting room to the huge paintings that hang on his walls. And there, among the canvases, gravity suddenly vanishes and anything is possible...
Tuesday 10 December 2024, at 8 pm, Théâtre Princesse Grace
A conference room. Joyous mayhem. A pair of oddballs trade ever more outrageous boasts. One is a champion skier. The other is a psychoanalyst. Or a great drinker, or a "show terminator". But every brag begins with the same repeated phrase: "my job involves...". With a mix of pride and ridicule, they paint a series of burlesque self-portraits of "men's work", and in doing so topple from the pedestal of their own megalomania.
Theatre - "Paloma au plurielles" Theatre
Thursday 19 December 2024, at 8 pm, Théâtre Princesse Grace
Hugo Bardin won the first season of Drag Race France as Paloma, a character created for a short film and inspired by Paloma Picasso and the actresses cast by Almodovar.

Thursday 19 December 2024, at 8.30 pm, Grimaldi Forum Monaco

With a sound reminiscent of LCD Soundsystem that's been described as Polo & Pan meets The Beach Boys, his electronic indie pop-infused world is the kind of entrancing, dreamline place you never want to leave.

Wednesday 11 December 2024, at 7.30 pm, Grimaldi Forum Monaco
2024/2025 Season - Monaco Dance Forum. The spotlight comes on and we find ourselves pitched into the mind of a man, as the story of his life flashes before him, interwoven with those of other people, past and future. Thus begins the labyrinthine two-part journey of Diptych, through the passageways of a ship. Time, memory, and premonition whirl around illusions, utopias, and the lost loves of a couple and blinded characters, actors in their own story. At every stage of their quest, they are thrown off course by uncontrollable forces of nature.
Thursday 12 December 2024, at 7.30 pm, Théâtre des Variétés
2024/2025 Season - Monaco Dance Forum. With flamenco, as with every art form, historians, specialists, and critics gradually identified particular periods. The period they called "La Edad de Oro", the golden age of flamenco, ran from the late 19th century to the 1930s. It was a time when the emphasis was very much on singing and dancing, with the guitar becoming popular much later. According to this tradition, and aside from some special exceptions, no contemporary singer or dancer could hope to match the quality, purity, and creativity of those who bore flamenco to its very pinnacle, and forged the legend of the golden age.
Friday 13 December 2024, at 7.30 pm, Grimaldi Forum Monaco
2024/2025 Season - Monaco Dance Forum. The sheer energy and density of Last Work by legendary choreographer Ohad Naharin are infused with an ephemeral aura. A sensation of clarity and reflection, like the calm at the eye of a hurricane. Unflappable, a person in the background runs across a set for the whole 70 minute duration of the piece. Seemingly fleeing or dreaming of flight, the body remains locked on the spot. Perhaps symbolising the desire for progress?
Saturday 14 December at 7.30 pm and Sunday 15 December 2024 at 3 pm, Grimaldi Forum Monaco
2024/2025 Season - The Company. To a techno rhythm like a countdown, dancers transform into fauns in ballet shoes, performing a dance so extreme and visceral that it ultimately intimidates. Sharon Eyal's choreography is reputed for its physicality and intensity.
Sunday 15 December 2024, at 11 am, Grimaldi Forum Monaco
2024/2025 Season - Monaco Dance Forum. In collaboration with the Audiovisual Institute of Monaco.

Willingly or otherwise.
Monday 16 December 2024, at 7.30 pm, Grimaldi Forum Monaco
2024/2025 Season - Monaco Dance Forum. In 2015, director Sue Buckmaster from Thatre-Rites adapted Akram Khan's critically acclaimed, Olivier Award-winning solo Desh. The heartwarming story follows a young man trying to find his place in the world. Chotto Desh, which means signifie "little homeland", draws on the unique quality of Akram Khan's intercultural storytelling, weaving a captivating tale of a boy's dreams and memories, from Britain to Bangladesh.
Tuesday 17 December 2024, at 7.30 pm, Théâtre des Variétés
2024/2025 Season - Monaco Dance Forum. First popularised in the 1920s and 30s, dance marathons saw couples attempt to keep dancing continuously for as long as they could (simply swaying or stepping were allowed), in the hope of winning a prize of around one hundred dollars. The crash of 1929 brought such grinding poverty that participants were prepared to go to any lengths for a few bucks, turning normally joyous dance marathons into horror balls.
Wednesday 18 December 2024, at 7.30 pm, Grimaldi Forum Monaco
2024/2025 Season - Monaco Dance Forum. For over three decades, Oslo Danse Ensemble was Norway's most popular dance company. Paradoxically, they never performed outside their home country. When the company closed in 2018, it begged the question: how could Norway expect the world to understand its national culture if it remained such a closely guarded secret? Jo Strømgren Kompani has taken on the challenge of remedying that situation, bringing together a selection of creations by Jo Strømgren for this company in a triple-header "Made in Oslo".
Sunday 29 December at 3 pm, and Monday 30 and Tuesday 31 December 2024 at 7.30 pm, Grimaldi Forum Monaco
2024/2025 Season - The Company. With The Taming of the Shrew, Jean-Christophe Maillot finds himself in unfamiliar territory - bringing to Les Ballets de Monte-Carlo a piece originally created for other dancers.

In heaven, Ludwig Van Beethoven and Django Reinhardt cheerfully loathe one another. But since they will be performing together at Saint Peter's impending birthday celebrations, they must rehearse under the supervision of the angel cellist.
