Viktor Vincent

On 29 May 2026, at Bonlieu Scène Nationale in Annecy, Viktor Vincent brings his theatre of mentalism to town. Trained in film directing, he stages stories above all else: mentalism becomes a pretext for narrative, suggestion and the detours of memory. On stage he cultivates a slightly retro elegance—moustache and British-style suits—and sets the present in dialogue with a past that fascinates him. His name, a chosen borrowing in tribute to his late mentor, betrays his taste for lineages and winks to the nineteenth century.

He creates crisp atmospheres and invites the audience to enter the game with kindness, without ever trapping them. Between intimate anecdotes and grand narratives, he weaves connections across time and lets mystery do its work. Awarded a Golden Mandrake in 2015, he extends his shows into other fields, from cinema to literature, with Les Liens invisibles and Kreskine. In Annecy, audiences come for a precise, narrative stage experience where illusion questions perception.
