How about a wedding dinner like no other? That's what Vive les Mariés is all about, an immersive dinner comedy that's shaking up the world of immersive theater and gastronomy! From November 18 to 29, December 2, 6 and 13, 2023, and from February 4, 2024 for apritivo formulas (at 5:30pm) and from February 17 for dinner formulas (at 7:30pm), the restaurant Le Tesoro d'Italia-Paradis, in the 10th arrondissement, hosts this unique experience where the boundaries between spectators and actors become blurred. Conceived by Big Immersive Production, this play draws on the joyous traditions of Aubergames (of which they are also the creators), uniting theater and interaction, all sprinkled with a touch of Italian flavor.
This unique experience, loosely based on Georges Feydeau's vaudeville Un Fil à la Patte, fuses the pleasure of taste buds with the joy of live entertainment. Guests are plunged into the heart of a wedding, that of Viviane and Monsieur Bois d'Enghien, orchestrated by Baron Duverger. The spectators become active participants, mingling with the actors and experiencing the story from the inside. Le Tesoro d' Italia doesn't just offer a sumptuous setting; it becomes a scenic space where every corner conceals a story, every dish an act, and every service a scene.
Our test of the Vive les Mariés immersive theater experience at Il Tesoro d'Italia :
An experience that the editors were able to try out. And we were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the experience, both in the restaurant and in the theater. The actors mingle with the guests (i.e. you), dining with you and interacting with you as the play progresses. A modern revisiting of Feydeau's vaudevilles, very well written and particularly funny (we laugh, really, all the time), packed with well-crafted references to both cinema and politics. The play takes place inside the restaurant, but is somewhat exported to the outside world: on the evening we were there, the actors even went so far as to tease incredulous passers-by, making the whole thing even funnier.
Depending on which table you're sitting at (you don't have a choice of seat, there's a seating plan, after all, it's a wedding...), you'll have a few little missions to perform (choreograph, write and read advice for the bride and groom, clap at the right moment at the request of the Wedding Planner, etc.). Don't hesitate to interact with the actors - they're very keen to do so, and will happily prompt you, making the immersion even deeper. As for dinner, we particularly appreciated the dishes on offer, but especially the dessert, a tiramisu which, in our humble opinion, is in contention to become one of the best in Paris (of all those we've tasted, in any case).
In short, we had a great time. Now all you have to do is wait for new dates!
Note that the Vive les Mariés immersive theater experience includes a full menu that promises to enliven the senses: a starter to share, consisting of an assortment of antipasti; a main course to choose from linguine with prawns, penne with truffles orescalope with mushrooms; and finally, a classic tiramisu for dessert, not forgetting the continuous show. Drinks are not included. An opportunity to combine the art of the stage with the art of the table! Shall we make a reservation?
