The Théâtre des Béliers plays host to "Paquita!" until March 30, 2025, a show directed by Pierre Delaup and starring Marine Llado. A poignant tale of a child fleeing Franco's dictatorship.

Inspired by true events, Paquita ! tells the story of Marine Llado 's grandmother , a little Spanish girl forced into exile in January 1939 during the Retirada, when Franco came to power. Fleeing war and oppression, she hopes to find refuge in France, but her journey is fraught with obstacles.
