Info
On January 5, 2027 at La Cigale in Paris, Elie Semoun presents Cactus, a new show that gives more room to stand-up while retaining his characters. The evening opens with Jean Abdul as the supporting act, followed by a series of scenes that rub up against reality: a son who takes his father to visit a nursing home (EHPAD), Xavier, who lives with a motor disability, introducing his wife to his mother, a father confronted with his son’s transition, and a racist karate instructor. It also tackles themes such as sexual harassment and religion, addressed without reservation.
Cactus moves between direct, face-to-face exchanges with the audience and fully embodied sketches. Semoun works here with concise writing and a gallery of characters to probe intolerance, taboos and injustice with an unapologetically sharp edge. This eighth show keeps character work at its center, with a tighter tempo and a more forthright delivery.
