Aller sans savoir où – Theatre
To Go Without Knowing Where is a French production on the theatre written for the theatre, a performance on a way of writing performances. François Gremaud thought up and designed a “manifest show”. He imagined a performance in order to describe and share with the spectators his writing process. To do this, he began to keep a diary where he recorded all – yes, all – the ideas that came to mind. No correction possible: each of the sentences written in his notebook would become a replica of the show. The author and performer François Gremaud is fascinated by the way ideas intertwine in the head of an author, his own included. Alone on stage, he tries to understand how his imagination works. Always with an appetite to share with the spectator joy, pleasure and idiocy. On Tuesday, July 25 at 21:30 at Fort Antoine. Discover more here.

Santo Sospir – Mauro Restiffe / Jean Cocteau – Exhibition
The Nouveau Musée National de Monaco presents “Santo Sospir”, an exhibition by the artist Mauro Restiffe, inspired by the house occupied and decorated by Jean Cocteau in Saint-Jean Cap-Ferrat between 1950 and 1962. This silent conversation, orchestrated by Restiffe in the Villa Sauber, is like a cinematographic montage that alternates long shots and close-ups, monumental prints and smaller formats, fostering an embodied vision of the tattooed villa, where a (faceless) self-portrait of the author appears. Until Sunday, October 15 at the Nouveau Musée National de Monaco – Villa Sauber. Discover more here.
Monet en pleine lumière – Exhibition
This major exhibition is part of celebrations to mark the 140th anniversary of Claude Monet’s first visit to Monaco and the Riviera, where the great impressionist, already halfway through his long life, would discover the landscapes and light that were to be the turning point of his work and career. Around a section devoted to the paintings he produced during his stays on the Riviera, featuring twenty-one loaned pieces displayed for the first time close to the very places they were painted, the exhibition looks at the master’s work, from his early days in Le Havre to his final paintings in Giverny, from the perspective of his constant quest to capture light. This exhibition-event entitled Monet in Full Light is curated by Monet expert Marianne Mathieu. Read our article here. Until Sunday, September 3 at the Grimaldi Forum Monaco.
