“Whether You Want It or Not!” (Theater/Comedy)
Julien is the man every woman desires for his seductive qualities. He’s publicly recognized as such on dating sites. This role as a sex lover, or even a sex addict, suits him perfectly.
Disappointed by numerous one-night stands, Lise dedicates her life entirely to her medical work. There’s not even a crush on the horizon. Then one day, Julien, the heartbreaker, shows up at her practice. He needs her to get back in shape physically. Is he a stalker? Bipolar? Or is he truly suffering from a previously unknown illness? The absurdity of the situation could lead to the meeting of two deeply lonely souls.

Exhibition: “I Stay with You”
On the occasion of the sixtieth anniversary of Jean Cocteau’s death, the museum he conceived as a testament to his art is returning to its historical setting.
Jean Cocteau passed away on October 11, 1963, leaving behind a body of work as rich as it is incredibly diverse. The question of his legacy and the future of his art was one of the artist’s main concerns in his final years, and Menton provided the solution by offering him the Bastion to set up his museum.
In this showcase, decorated by Cocteau himself, he wanted to exhibit some of the most emblematic works of his dazzling career: colorful pastels, monumental tapestries, surprising paintings, and bold ceramics constitute the original collection of this true testament museum… Not to mention the famous series of “The Lovers”, drawings that perfectly embody the artist’s Mediterranean inspiration.
Sixty years after the death of the Prince of Poets, the Musée Jean Cocteau – le Bastion has returned to display his historic work, paying a vibrant tribute to his protective artist, echoing the words he wanted engraved on his tombstone: “Je reste avec vous” (“I stay with you”).
Location: Musée Jean Cocteau – le Bastion, Quai Napoléon III
