March brings an exciting lineup of theatre, music, and philosophy to Monaco, with the Princess Grace Theatre presenting a diverse programme of performances, some of which will also take place at the Grimaldi Forum…
From gripping drama to laugh-out-loud comedy, the month is packed with unmissable cultural highlights.
Among the standout performances is Dario Fo and Franca Rame’s legendary political farce On ne paie pas ! On ne paie pas ! on March 18, a satirical masterpiece that blends absurdity with sharp social critique. Directed by Bernard Levy and performed by the Cie Lire aux Éclats, the play is a comical rebellion against consumerism, promising an evening of high-energy hilarity.
Classical theatre fans will be captivated by Shakespeare’s Richard III on March 11, directed by William Mesguich, with a post-show discussion offering further insight into the production. Meanwhile, Yasmina Reza’s award-winning play “Art” comes to the stage on March 6, with François Morel directing this brilliantly witty exploration of friendship and artistic perception.
For those seeking philosophical discourse, Les Rencontres Philosophiques de Monaco hosts “C’est la zizanie ! Dialogues, clivages et conflits” on March 13, exploring divisions and conflicts in contemporary society.
Music lovers won’t be disappointed, with the Festival Printemps des Arts de Monte-Carlo featuring concerts including “Beethoven & Schönberg by Candlelight” on March 16 and “Mélodies de Debussy & Ravel” on March 20, the latter preceded by a conference on Pierre Boulez and poetry.
With such a rich and varied programme, March at the Princess Grace Theatre and Grimaldi Forum offers something for everyone, celebrating the power of performance, storytelling, and artistic expression.
