Poems by Lamplight: Estelle Meyer at Les Plateaux Sauvages

After Niquer la fatalité, Estelle Meyer returns to the Plateaux Sauvages with Poèmes à l’embrille, from November 30 to December 5, 2026. This new production takes as its starting point a journey through medically assisted reproduction and the questions it raises about the desire to have a child and motherhood.

The story explores the hopes, doubts and loneliness that come with this journey, as well as the relationship with a body pushed to its limits. To become a mother or not: the show places these possibilities at the heart of its writing, combining spoken word, singing and music.

Writer and performer Estelle Meyer shares the stage with Thibault Gomez on keyboards. The two are responsible for the musical composition, with artistic collaboration from Joséphine Serre. The project extends the actor’s work in musical theater, already explored in Sous ma robe mon cœur and Niquer la fatalité, focusing here on the experience of medically assisted reproduction.

The Saturday, December 5 performance at 4:30 p.m. brings this run to a close. The series is recommended for ages 15 and up. That same evening at 8:30 p.m., a separate poetry concert brings together Estelle Meyer, Grégoire Letouvet on piano, Pierre Demange on drums, and Alexandre Perrot on double bass; it has its own booking link.
