Cabaret-Catch 

une fusion entre théâtre et catch
une forme populaire et explosive

Le Cabaret-Catch est une création hybride née de la collaboration entre le Cabaret Bon Et Tonifiant (B.E.T.) et la Geneva Total Wrestling (GTW). À la croisée du théâtre et du catch, ce projet propose une forme performative unique mêlant humour absurde, catch, intrigues mélodramatiques et participation du public. En repoussant les frontières entre fiction, performance scénique et spectacle sportif, le Cabaret-Catch interroge avec audace les codes du divertissement populaire.

En juillet 2024, une première édition a vu le jour au Théâtre de l’Orangerie, où un ring de catch installé en plein air a transformé le lieu en arène théâtrale, générant une atmosphère électrique et participative. Fort de ce succès, le projet a été reconduit en 2025, affirmant son ancrage comme espace d’expérimentation artistique et de rencontre entre disciplines.

Le Cabaret-Catch est avant tout une création née d’un dialogue artistique authentique entre le Cabaret B.E.T. et la Geneva Total Wrestling. Chacune des disciplines conserve sa vigueur — la folie inventive du cabaret associée à la rigueur et aux exigences physiques du catch — aboutissant à une fusion cohérente et explosive plutôt qu’à une superposition de genres.

“ C’est drôle, brillant, très bien écrit, les personnages sont incarnés et les catcheur·euse·s sont impressionnant·e·s.”
- Fabien Imhof, La Pépinière

“Ce n’est pas que la cohabitation de deux univers, mais la création d’un tout cohérent, croisant la force du catch et du théâtre sans les dénaturer, pour proposer un format hybride et explosif.”
- Pauline Raineri - comediénne, metteuse en scène et catcheuse (The Iconic Charlie)
