La Folle du 5ème is the latest comedy by Eléonore Bauer, premiering at the Grand Point Virgule in Paris on March 24, 2026, at 7:30 PM. The playwright, renowned for popular hits like Ma sœur est un boulet, which has been running for fifteen years and been seen by over a million spectators across France, as well as Quittes-moi si tu peux, adapted for M6 under the title À la folie, returns with a new piece featuring three characters, directed by Arnaud Schmitt.
The play centers around a trio: Juliette and Victor have been living together for years and are considering starting a family. Their routine is shattered when Juliette becomes drawn to her upstairs neighbor, Romane. Portrayed as impulsive and flighty, Romane blames Victor for all their problems. This sets up a tense atmosphere: Is Victor truly at fault, or is his neighbor sensationalizing the facts? The dramaturgy hinges on this tension, driving a series of scenarios that keep the pace lively and engaging throughout the performance.
Designed as a contemporary play, La Folle du 5ème tackles current themes such as social bashing and the roles of men and women in today’s society. The production has been tested out on tour across France before arriving in Paris. Directed by Arnaud Schmitt, the show features dialogue focused on romantic relationships and neighborhood dynamics, within the style of boulevard comedy.
The cast features Eléonore Bauer, Judith Ejnes, and Alexandre Texier. The performance lasts approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes and takes place at the Apostrophe theater, with open seating. Don’t miss this show at the Grand Point Virgule on March 24, 2026.
