New, improvised musical comedy in Paris

Le Grand Point Virgule welcomes New, a unique show combining song, music and live drawing. An entirely improvised musical in which the audience creates the story. To be discovered on May 27, June 10 and 24, 2025.

New, an improvisational musical comedy performed by a troupe of eleven professional artists, will be presented at the Grand Point Virgule on May 27, June 10 and 24, 2025. There's no pre-established script or fixed score: everything comes to life on stage, as the audience suggests it. This collective creation would be based on constant interaction with the audience, who would provide the basis for the story - a title, a place, some adventures - which would then be transformed into scenes, songs and characters.

Each performance of New would be an ephemeral work, born of the shared imagination of performers and audience. The actor-singers would invent the dialogues, melodies and personalities of the protagonists from a simple starting point. The musicians would compose the accompaniment live, adapting to the tone and rhythm of each scene. At the same time, a cartoonist would illustrate the sets and moods in real time, projecting his drawings onto the backdrop to create a constantly evolving visual universe.
