In this whimsical and laugh-out-loud theatrical performance (in french), inspired by René de Obaldia's Fantasmes de Demoiselles, a parade of peculiar women takes the stage to deliver poetic soliloquies in search of the elusive "perfect man." Each woman, armed with wordplay and wit, unveils her fantastical dreams in a rhythm-filled display of language's playful possibilities.
The colorful characters use rhyme, puns, and unexpected twists to paint hilarious portraits of their quests. With a backdrop of witty linguistic gymnastics and a comedic exploration of human longing, Cherche un homme... invites audiences to laugh and revel in the absurdities of love and language.
