Potiche

What if the ‘Potiche took power?’ at the Forum in Le Mans!

Nominated for the 2026 Molière Award for Best Comedy!


Barillet and Grédy’s sparkling comedy, “POTICHE”, is coming to the Forum at the Le Mans Exhibition Centre in February 2027 with a five-star cast: Clémentine Célarié, Philippe Lelièvre, Hugo Bardin as Paloma, Jérôme Pouly, Benjamin Siksou and Alexie Ribes

In the quiet town of Sainte-Gudule, nothing seems capable of disrupting the Pujol family’s well-ordered life. And yet… When Robert, the stern owner of an umbrella factory, falls ill, his wife Suzanne is forced to take the reins of the business. Docile and devoted, Suzanne ultimately proves to be a brilliant and unexpected business leader!

Come and enjoy this biting and visionary comedy from the 1970s, and don’t be fooled by appearances: power isn’t always where you’d expect it to be, and each of us harbours incredible reserves of strength.


See you on 13 February 2027 at 8.30 pm at the Forum.
