The Life of My Death: Gabriel Gebka turns the audience into a jury at the Apollo Theatre

At the Apollo Theatre in Paris’s 11th arrondissement, Gabriel Gebka invites spectators to take part in a competition of a peculiar kind. In La Vie de ma Mort, the comedian embodies four newly deceased characters who are vying for a place in Paradise. The audience decides, becoming the jury for the duration of the show.

This solo show starts from the judgment of four contestants. Each arrives with a life to defend: juxtaposing their journeys, it probes what we carry with us and what we leave behind. The setup thus links the characters’ stories to the audience’s decision, centering on a common question: who should get this one-way ticket to the Garden of Eden?
