Arnaud Tsamere « Tous contraints »

Arnaud Tsamère arrives in Geneva with Tous contraints, a new chapter crafted for those who enjoy precise absurdity and detours that go off the rails. The French comedian has honed an art of digression that takes side roads in order to return to the thread. Here he plays with our small everyday rules, our false choices and our social survival reflexes, stringing together twisted situations, shaky characters and logics that turn back on themselves. His trick: to build the absurd without losing meaning, to work the silences, and to provoke a counter-movement just when you think you understand.

Beneath his seemingly relaxed demeanour, Tsamère sets up a tightly written mechanism where stand-up flirts with theatre. The audience becomes complicit in his deliberate flaws, his asides and his delayed punchlines. It’s subtle, rhythmic, sometimes almost childlike, but always precise in its choice of words and in its breaks. See him at Théâtre De La Madeleine Genève on 24 April 2026 to discover Tous contraints as he imagines it: a playing space where our certainties are given a slight wobble.
