The Art of Being My Father in Theatre des Muses

The play The Art of Being My Father will be on stage of Theatre des Muses from 21 to 23 May 2026 at 8 pm and on Sunday, May 24 at 4:30pm.

With Zoé’s parents having just separated, her father, wanting to spend time with her, directs the school’s end-of-year show: the musical “Les Misérables.” Through rehearsals throughout the school year, this extraordinary director tries to instill in the children his love of poetry, his profound sensitivity to the world, and the importance of art in life… But things don’t go as smoothly as planned, because the transgressions and excesses of this bipolar father threaten to derail the show. Will it even go on?

Playing a dozen characters herself, Julie Timmerman guides us through this intimate and collective story with great humor and just as much love, navigating between depths and light.
