The evening begins at 7:00 PM with a complimentary season-opening cocktail reception with the team, followed by dinner at 7:30 PM, and at 9:00 PM, the show “Over the Rimbaud,” the latest production by the Arène Théâtre company.

There are five performers on stage, each representing a different facet of a single Rimbaud, immersing us in the poet’s extraordinary and prolific body of work. In this show (created in October 2024), which carefully avoids historical references, we bring to life a Rimbaud of today by being “absolutely modern.”
In a timeless, minimalist space—a grassy, flower-filled square where light and shadow lead to the stars—the actor-musicians create a perfectly polished live soundscape. Guitar, saxophone, trumpet, drums, beatbox, vocals… They explore all of Rimbaud’s themes. Their bodies are entirely possessed by the spoken word and put into a trance by the words; it is a sprint toward hell, beauty, and eternity…
A dazzling show for total immersion: Over the Rimbaud!
