After winning over audiences with Gad Elmaleh, the cult comedy “L’Invitation” returns in a new version brimming with freshness, energy, and laughter.
Starring the popular duo Frédéric Chau and Guy Lecluyse, this tour promises to be one of the year’s major theatrical events.
Daniel is a married man who longs for a little freedom. To take a breather without feeling guilty, he invents an imaginary friend, Charlie, whom he claims to visit regularly.
But when his wife insists on meeting this famous Charlie… Daniel is caught in his own trap.
He hires a stranger—a lost soul, unpredictable, and far too at ease—to play the part.
Except that Charlie quickly takes the lie and runs with it… until everything is turned upside down.
A hilarious duo, a thrilling game of manipulation, and a subtle critique of pretense and the quirks of relationships.
A modern and exhilarating comedy about relationships, appearances, and the truth.
