Where do tears go when they dry up at Theatre Lepic

Where do tears go when they dry, the novel by Baptiste Beaulieu, is adapted for the Theatre Lepic in Montmartre, running until the December 14, 2026. Léna Bréban handles the adaptation and direction of this show led by Régis Vallée.

Jean is a general practitioner in a small town. Patients stream into his office, bearing their pains, their stories, and the injustices that haunt their lives. He must listen, treat, and console, even as a personal tragedy has left him unable to cry. The story moves between the waiting room and the intimate life of the doctor who tends the sick.
