Apollo Cultural Space: A May Mélange of Comedy, Childhood, and Classic Opera
A Month of Merriment Begins
May at the Apollo cultural space promises a diverse array of entertainment, kicking off with the Toulouse-based Théâtre des 3T. The troupe is set to present its comedy, Aero despite himself,
a play already enjoyed by more than 20,000 spectators. Written by Fred Menuet and Mathieu burnel, the play unfolds in the familiar setting of a large aeronautical company in Toulouse.
The Hilarious Plot Thickens
The central character, Félix, is described as a huge smoker who sleeps or rests depending on the case and lives, according to him, a dream daily.
His routine is disrupted by the arrival of Victoria, a former flame and a ruthless HRD mandated to remove all needless positions.
To save his job and rekindle a past romance, Félix resorts to elaborate lies, aided by a dog and a trainee of questionable intelligence. Gérard PinterS staging ensures that the scenario, far from being gloomy, is a source of guaranteed laughter. Aero despite himself
is scheduled for Thursday, May 15, at 8:30 p.m.
A Tale for Young Audiences: “Bouchka”

staged by Lou Broquin. This production is described as a complete spectacle with neat and vrey visual aesthetics.
