Denial, a play by Sophie Cottin, arrives at the Théâtre de Paris – Salle Réjane from September 18, 2026 to January 10, 2027. Directed by Raphaëlle Cambray, this contemporary work follows a young couple forced to rethink their future in the span of just a few hours.

Alix seems to have found her balance: a job she loves, a solid relationship with Romain, and a departure to New York on the horizon. But one summer evening upends this routine. In front of her partner, her grandfather, a young doctor, and a nurse, Alix must confront a reality that reason struggles to accept.

Starting from that decisive night, Déni probes the fragility of certainties and how a single decision can transform a life. The play sits in the realm of contemporary theatre, halfway between dramatic comedy and intimate storytelling, as it watches the moment when the unexpected compels the characters to see their lives in a different light.

The script is credited to Sophie Cottin. The production is staged by Raphaëlle Cambray, who is also in the cast. On stage, she is joined by Salomé Villiers, Thomas Gendronneau, Michel Papineschi, and Geoffrey Couët.

With an announced running time of 90 minutes, Déni is slated to play at Théâtre de Paris – Salle Réjane in the 9th arrondissement, from 18 September 2026 to 10 January 2027.
