Philosophy Workshop “Little Philosopher”
We often say “I believe that…”; for example, “I believe I left my jacket at school.” But is it really the right word? Is the thought in a strict sense, particularly the one activated in the exercise of philosophy, of the same order as the one that accompanies us, more or less spontaneously, in daily life? Or is it something else? Together, we will discover what thought truly is and see that it is far from spontaneous and requires great effort from us.

Casino Barriere Artistic Season 2024 – 2025 – Bla Bla Drive
Bla Bla Drive, a burlesque adventure with a camera: In the midst of a national SNCF strike, Marie-Thérèse de Lacroix, a former nun with very rigid principles, must leave Paris immediately for Biarritz with her Citroën 2CV, called “Titine.”
Thanks to a car-sharing site and an exaggerated advertisement, she finds two travel companions: Charlotte Kervanec, a Breton woman with a strong character and equally eager to leave the capital, and Barbara Pink, a former reality TV star, very naive and seemingly rule-abiding… seemingly.

Exhibition: The Castle of Illusions
In this third Menton-based part on the theme of the castle (alluding to the bastion), the red thread of this new exhibition of Jean Cocteau’s works will approach the universe of the poet prince’s shows: theater, music hall, and pantomime… It will be an opportunity to present the “sacred monsters” who were close to him: Jean Marais, Edith Piaf, Berthe Bovy, Suzy Solidor… Fascinated by the circus since childhood, Cocteau never stopped transcribing this magic in his work. The exhibition, curated by Dominique Marny, will be designed by Frédéric Beauclair.
