Several theatrical productions are currently playing in Paris, including Singin' in the Rain, directed by Robert Carsen, Les Bonnes by Jean Genet, I'm Deranged by Mina Kavani, and Ici sont les dragons by Ariane Mnouchkine. According to a recent report, Singin' in the Rain is being staged for the second time in France by Canadian director Robert Carsen, who has adapted the musical comedy from the 1952 film by Stanley Donen and Gene Kelly. The production features a set design and costumes that prioritize audience enjoyment over artistic complexity. The article notes that while the beginning of the show is a bit slow, the audience quickly enjoys the swinging romance, which is both comedic and tragic. The musical also presents, through dances and songs, the end of an art form: silent cinema. In the story, Don and Lina are two stars who want to transition to talking pictures, with Don adapting to the change but Lina struggling with her voice. The production of Singin' in the Rain has been successful thanks to an impeccable cast, which brought the characters and story to life with energy and emotion. The musical remains a beloved classic, capturing the transition from silent films to sound and the challenges faced by those in the entertainment industry during that time.

I'm Deranged by Mina Kavani also explores complex themes, contributing to the rich and varied cultural landscape of Parisian theater.
