Curtains Up: 2025–2026 Season at the Paris Odéon Théâtre de l’Europe.
This autumn brings something especially exciting to the Paris stage: the launch of the 2025–2026 season at the Odéon Théâtre de l’Europe. Banners now hang across the theatre’s neoclassical façade announcing a fresh lineup of directors and productions that promise provocation, passion, and plenty of conversation.
Housed opposite the Luxembourg Gardens, the Odéon has been at the heart of Parisian theatre since the 18th century.
At the Odéon, the new program highlights an international cast of creative voices, from celebrated directors to innovative performers with themes of politics, identity, and the human condition:
Markus Selg – a visual artist known for immersive, otherworldly theatre: The Work – 16-21 December 2025.
Ivo van Hove – the acclaimed Belgian director whose intense, contemporary stagings always spark debate: Hamlet – 21 January-14 March 2026.
Eddy D’Aranjo – a rising French theatre-maker with a sharp, modern edge: Oedipe Roi – 7-22 February 2026.
Samira Elagoz – blending performance, film, and documentary in boundary-pushing work: Cock, Cock … Who’s There? – 12-15 March 2026 and Seek Bromance – 18-22 March 2026.
Angélica Liddell – Spanish playwright and performer famous for raw, uncompromising theatre: Vudu (3318) Blixen – 27 March-12 April 2026.
Mario Banushi – bringing a younger generation’s sensibility to the European stage: Goodbye Lindita – 28 March-5 April 2026 and Mami – 9-16 April 2026.
Markus Öhrn – Swedish director known for experimental and unsettling performances: Scenes From A Marriage – 20 May-7 June 2026.
It’s a list exactly in keeping with the Odéon’s identity as one of France’s six national theatres and a stage for international dialogue.
