On Choisit pas sa Famille

One of the greatest theatrical successes finally in Bordeaux: 17 characters interpreted by 5 virtuoso actors – A jubilant, high-speed performance. A wedding. A family. And an evening that turns into a catastrophe… to the audience's delight. For her wedding, Yvette has planned everything: a “magnificent” banquet in the primary school refectory where her future husband Gilbert works. Charming, isn't it? Except that the wine is undrinkable, the chef comes straight from the school canteen, and the two waitresses form an absolutely uncontrollable duo of bunglers. And that's just the beginning… The family arrives. Suzanne, the daughter, with her militant vegan ex. Benoît, the brother, with his new existential whim. Georges, the Belgian cousin, determined to turn the evening into a national monument of revelry. Add to that explosive twins, an overwhelmed waiter, an apathetic chef, a host of characters more uncontrollable than the last… and a dog named Rillette tasked with mitigating the damage. The result: a whirlwind of misunderstandings, settling of scores, and utterly delirious situations. Masks fall, secrets burst out, and the evening turns into an absolutely irresistible comedic storm. One thing is certain: you will never forget this wedding. And as the proverb so rightly says… You don't choose your family!
