Jérémy Hababou: An Unorthodox Pianist at the Palais des Glaces

The piano can also be the starting point for a comedy show. With Unorthodox Pianist, Jérémy Hababou blends music, storytelling and humor at the Palais des Glaces in Paris’s 10th arrondissement. The next announced performances are at 7 p.m., from October 22, 2026, to January 7, 2027.

The pianist and composer lets multiple repertoires cross paths as the show unfolds. Mozart and Ravel’s Bolero rub shoulders with French chanson and pop, with nods to Brassens, Barbara, Johnny Hallyday, Céline Dion, and Aya Nakamura. These leaps across eras and genres weave the musical backbone of this solo performance.

Jérémy Hababou presents and performs Unorthodox Pianist, with staging by Nicolas Nebot. The concept leans on his dual life as a musician and a storyteller: the piano leads a journey through the repertoire, its connections, and the ways of telling those stories to the audience.

At the Palais des Glaces, the five performances currently scheduled are on October 22, November 26, December 3 and 17, 2026, and January 7, 2027. They take place in the theatre’s main hall on Rue du Faubourg du Temple.
