Café Impro: Carte Blanche with Les Very Impro People is an improvised theatre evening held in Montpellier, in the Occitanie region of southern France. The show takes place at Gazette Café, where the improv troupe Les Very Impro People perform a new edition each month.
What to expect
Each edition works from a different game rule, which the performers follow as they go. The actors invent a short piece live in front of the audience, so the evening takes shape in the moment. Nobody knows in advance how a given edition will unfold, and that uncertainty is the point of the evening.
- A new format each month, so no two editions are alike
- Scenes created on the spot, with no script
- A small café setting, close to the performers
Who it suits
The show suits anyone who enjoys live theatre and does not mind not knowing what comes next. It is a relaxed way to spend an evening in the city, and a good choice for those who like to watch improvisation work, from the first game rule to the final scene. Because the programme changes monthly, a return visit brings a different experience.
