It will be a blast, Sacrebleu!
INTERNATIONAL IMPRO FESTIVAL IN STRASBOURG
SACREBLEU! - FIRST EDITION:
An international team
Everything started 10 years ago, when we all met through improv. Back then, we didn’t know we would go all around the world to teach and perform, that we would meet such amazing people and that we would become a family.
We created la Carpe Haute six years ago to have our own professional company to organize shows, gigs, workshops and work together on new formats and news ways of improvising. A short time later, we began to improvise in English, travelling the European festivals and quickly the entire world. Today, the international team performed and/or taught in more than 20 festivals and visit a bunch of countries, best known for its crazy and playful free form show “Just Play”. The international team is mainly composed by Cédric Marschal, Gael Perry, Dan Seyfried and Pauline Vernier, but is also completed sometimes by other members of the company.

OUR FRIENDS AND PARTNERS
TRAVELLING MEMORIES
La Carpe Haute has infectious energy and they take incredibly creative risks that pay off each time. The show is fluid, fun and I recommend you see one of their shows yourself!
La Carpe Haute excel in playful, physical theater. Their scene starts can be boldly absurd, and the team’s enthusiastic and committed support of each other makes for very enjoyable storylines. They’re a lot of fun to watch.
La Carpe Haute is one of my favorite improv comedy groups in the world! As a performer and festival producer, I have the opportunity to see many different companies and La Carpe Haute, continues to be one of my favorites. Their imaginative physicality, larger than life facial expressions and hilariously charming scenes make for an unforgettable show that reminds you of the joy that is live improvisational theater. As an audience member and producer, I cannot recommend them enough!
La Carpe Haute is most of all a bunch of happy friends! We never get bored with them. On stage, those improvisers will bring you with them in rich and colorful imaginary worlds. Casual and professional, la Carpe Haute creates a positive energy that might save the world!
