Myriam Boyer stars in La Vie devant soi in an adaptation by Tigran Mekhitarian at the Studio des Champs-Élysées, running October 22 to December 20, 2026.

Myriam Boyer reprises the role of Madame Rosa in The Life Before Us, at the Studio des Champs-Élysées, from October 22 to December 20, 2026. Tigran Mekhitarian adapts and directs the novel by Romain Gary, published under the pseudonym Émile Ajar and awarded the Goncourt Prize in 1975.

Mohamed, nicknamed Momo, grows up beside Madame Rosa, a Jewish survivor of deportation who takes in other people’s children. When her health falters and she refuses hospital care, the boy steps in to care for her. Their bond sits at the heart of this story about a chosen family.

The cast brings together Myriam Boyer, Léonard Stefanica and Tigran Mekhitarian. The latter continues his work on Gary’s repertoire after La Promesse de l’aube. Léonard Stefanica also handles the music for the show.

The performances take place Wednesday to Saturday at 9:00 PM and Sunday at 3:00 PM, at 15 Avenue Montaigne, in the 8th arrondissement. Tickets run €40 to €57, depending on the seating category and the day. A €10 concession for under 26s is available one hour before each show, subject to availability. Reservations are open on the the theater’s box office.
