A triumphant return to the stage that challenges conventions... Pierre-Emmanuel Barré is back performing live with Come-Back, a show he both writes and stars in, where he delves into the very concept of artistic return. He’s set to return to the Bataclan in Paris on October 29, 30, and 31, 2026. The comedian imagines his future in 2031, portraying himself as an artist fallen into obscurity, desperately seeking a new reason to step back onto the stage. This starting point anchors a show that combines dark humor, futurism, and satire.
In this deliberately dystopian fiction, Pierre-Emmanuel Barré explores the mechanisms behind fame, the fear of decline, and the struggles of reinventing oneself. The show is built on a conscious mise en abyme that allows him to confront his own contradictions while expanding the scope to society and the entertainment industry. The direction of this one-man-show combines striking visual and sound design that complements the text, giving Come-Back a hybrid feel—part stand-up, part theatrical performance.
