Theater: “Welcome to Mortepeine”
On the occasion of a birthday, two sisters rent a cottage in an isolated hamlet, but as night falls their stay turns into a nightmare… They experience a true hell with disturbing warnings, a strange neighbor and a mysterious trapdoor, all in blood-curdling décor. Written by Céline Ansidei and directed by Sébastien Wagner, this horror comedy with a cinematic feel plunges spectators into the world of horror films.
Produced by the Compagnie Les 13 Rêves, this play is accessible from age 12. By reservation, prices range from 5 to 15.60 euros.
Location: Francis-Gag Theater, 4 rue de la Croix
Time: 8 p.m.

Eliminated at the gates of the Round of 16 of the France Cup against Mont-Blanc, a victory is strongly expected. For both teams, this match presents a major stake.
