Xavier Carrar's Gang runs from November 1 to 25, 2026 at the Manufacture des Abbesses. Directed by Alexis Stefan, the play follows a young man caught up in a group's humiliations.

The Gang interrogates the urge to belong to a group and the violence it can make acceptable. Xavier Carrar’s play, directed by Alexis Stefan, runs at the Manufacture des Abbesses from November 1 to 25, 2026.

Tom is twenty years old and endures the taunts about his weight. His encounter with Lilas and a gang makes him feel he’s finally found his footing. But the tests imposed by JB, the group’s ringleader, come as humiliations and hazing. The narrative traces the slide from inclusion to coercive control.

Ludivine Genadinos, Brice Lefort, Loris Cadet, Morgane Vandamme, and Thibaut Metallier make up the cast. The staging rests on a narrative built from flashbacks, gradually piecing together what happens to Tom.

Performances run from Monday to Wednesday at 9 p.m. and on Sundays at 8 p.m., at 7 Rue Véron in the 18th arrondissement. The theater lists the running time at 1 hour and 20 minutes.
