Marine Leonardi « Mauvaise Graine »

On February 11, 2027, Marine Leonardi presents Mauvaise Graine at the Arcadium in Annecy. A French comedian, she swaps the apron for the microphone and upends preconceived notions with razor‑sharp dark humor.

In this solo show she digs into everyday life: relationships, motherhood, the mental load, and the demands that cling to you. She talks about love that exhausts as much as it protects, the unsteady divisions of responsibility, the roles we slip into without thinking, and those little remarks we swallow to avoid the storm. She allows herself dissonance and a candid cynicism—no affectation, no sermon—just the raw material of an ordinary life put under the microscope.

Her writing is direct and rhythmic, her punchlines dry and precise. Between blunt confessions and clear‑eyed observation, Marine Leonardi catches what grates and makes it heard without pounding the point. Mauvaise Graine doesn’t chase spectacle; it sets things down and leaves space, letting the laughter and that familiar “I didn’t dare say it” moment many keep to themselves emerge.
