Confidences: improvised comedy at La Boussole

Confidences is based on a simple principle: upon arrival, audience members are invited to anonymously share a personal anecdote with the performers. These fragments of life become the raw material for a completely improvised comedy, constructed live on stage. This form of live performance offers an immersion into everyday life, where intimate, comical, or moving stories are transformed into unique theatrical scenes.

The show is inspired byHistorias Mínimas, an improvisational format created in South America by Argentine Sergio Paris. The French adaptation, performed by the Collectif Minimas, favors a warm atmosphere and direct contact with the audience. The staging, designed as a flexible framework, encourages listening, spontaneity, and the instantaneous transformation of confidences. The result is an intimate theater in Paris, where the poetic and the burlesque coexist freely.

The troupe brings together professional improvisers who take turns performing: Charlotte Finet, Mathilde Mir, Barbara Ludin, Juliette Chouraqui, Eve Cerisier, Charles-Edouard Garcia, Juan Espin Alonso, Luc Mouret, Jean-Philippe Cillard, and Vincent Leconte. Their onstage chemistry, nurtured by several years of working together, allows them to compose a mosaic of characters and situations that reflects the diversity of the stories collected.

Now in its tenth season, the show has become a permanent fixture on the Paris improvisation scene. As each performance is unique, the project maintains a special relationship with its audience, who participate directly in its construction. This collaborative dimension encourages a renewed reception and reinforces the show's roots in artistic sharing. The longevity of the format confirms its appeal, with its spontaneous humor, emotion, and sensitive look at small personal stories.

Confidences can be seen at the Théâtre La Boussole every Friday.
