Context: Akim Omiri's show is back at La Gaîté Rive Gauche

Context marks the second show by Akim Omiri. Following an initial run of performances in Paris, his stand-up comedy will resume at the Théâtre de la Gaîté Rive Gauche starting January 3, 2026. The comedian continues to craft routines focused on observing modern life and exploring the relationship between individuals and their social environment.

In this performance, Akim Omiri presents a narrative rooted in everyday life. Drawing from routine situations, social contradictions, and personal experiences, he explores human relationships and the hidden norms that shape them. The central theme revolves around how individuals perceive themselves and others within an ever-changing collective context. His approach combines insightful humor and storytelling, infused with the artist's own life experiences.

The theatrical universe of Contexte is intentionally minimalist. The staging focuses on dialogue, rhythm, and the presence of the performer. The show adopts the conventions of stand-up comedy, with a strong emphasis on direct engagement with the audience and a gradually unfolding narrative. The storytelling weaves together social observations, introspective moments, and ironic detachment.
