Theatre
08 January 2026
Niki, the woman, the emblematic artist of the 20th century! Her emancipated outlook and her boundless creativity revolutionized both the history of art and the representation of women.
"Niki, the Woman with a Gun" is inspired by her life and her art, a movement of revolt and joie de vivre, intense, like a firework of colors.
This play is an invitation to liberating creativity. It is also a dive into the depths of the mind: the intimate story of this explosive and committed artist, who drew from her wounds the source of infinite strength and talent.
This show is also an encounter with an author: Caroline Deyns, who has transformed Niki's life, through a unique biography, into a work of art.
The intimate story of this explosive and committed artist, who drew from her wounds the source of infinite strength and talent.
