Thomas Fersen at Comme on quitte un imperméable- La Scala, Paris

Thomas Fersen performs at Comme on quitte un imperméable- La Scala in Paris from 7 to 18 October 2026. The show, Comme on quitte un imperméable, adapts Thomas Fersen's novel of the same name, due out from Seuil in May 2026. Samuel Achache directs it, and it is a coproduction of Zouave and La Scala.

Thomas Fersen plays with three musicians, and the show mixes new songs with pieces from his repertoire. It is told in octosyllabic verse. After a discouraging start in music and the loss of his part-time job as a cable fitter, the hero is sent abroad by his father.

Thomas Fersen lends his own youthful memories to this apprentice globe-trotter. The dangers the hero meets work as rites of passage into adulthood.

Tickets start at EUR 39.20. He released his first album in 1993.
