La Leçon

At Théâtre de la Huchette

Latin Quarter, Paris

🎭"playing Ionesco for 60 (!) years. But performance is as fresh as ever"
🎟️Book the double bill with La Cantatrice chauve
💺Tiny space — reserve ahead

Watch a meek professor and cocky student trade places in Ionesco's deliciously twisted power game. This tiny Latin Quarter theater has staged the same two absurdist plays for over 60 years, and the performances still crackle with dark comic energy. English subtitles appear above the stage on Wednesdays.
