Very Math Trip 2: Manu Houdart Returns to the Lucernaire

Manu Houdart presents Very Math Trip 2 at the Lucernaire in Paris, running from September 21, 2026 to January 12, 2027. Directed by Thomas Le Douarec, this new solo show is mounted on Mondays and Tuesdays at 7:00 PM, suitable for ages 8 and up.

Mathematics serves as the springboard for a comedy show. Manu Houdart draws on everyday situations to illustrate how numbers and logical reasoning slip into our choices, into financial mechanisms, and even into music.

Among the topics announced, Ponzi schemes and the links between mathematics and songs provide concrete examples. The show blends these ideas into a theatrical format, with staging and lighting by Thomas Le Douarec.
