With Satie Unleashed, François Marthouret brings Erik Satie’s texts to the Théâtre de Poche-Montparnasse. Accompanied at the piano by Vadim Sher for the October sessions, this reading runs on Sundays at 3:00 PM through November 1, 2026.

Satie in Freedom puts the composer’s writings in the spotlight at the Theatre de Poche-Montparnasse. François Marthouret has conceived this staged reading, running since August 30, 2026, with piano accompaniment. The show is performed on Sundays at 3 pm, with sessions scheduled through November 1.

Beyond his scores, Erik Satie left behind writings on a wide range of topics: animals, the artists he mingled with, fashion, sport, nightlife, or solitude. This program highlights this other facet of his work, pairing his words with music.

Vadim Sher will join François Marthouret for the run from October 4 to November 1. Christiane Gugger also participated in several performances of this production at the Théâtre de Poche-Montparnasse. Lighting by Alireza Kishipour.

The show runs for 1h10, at 75 Boulevard du Montparnasse, Paris. The theater's tickets are listed as €28 at full price, €22 for reduced fare, and €10 for under-26s. The schedule and reservations are available on the official page of Satie en liberté.
