Un Air de Famille in Dubai
About this event
Get ready for an evening of sharp humour, family drama and unexpected revelations as La Troupe de Culture Émulsion presents Un Air de Famille at The Junction in Dubai from 20 to 22 November 2026. This French-language comedy explores the complicated bonds of family, where old grudges and hidden truths turn an ordinary dinner into an unforgettable evening.
🍷 A Family Dinner Full of Surprises
Written by Agnès Jaoui and Jean-Pierre Bacri, Un Air de Famille follows the Ménard family as they gather for their usual Friday-night dinner at the family-run café. What begins as an apparently ordinary evening soon spirals into chaos as simmering tensions, awkward moments and long-standing resentments come to the surface.
The story brings together a domineering brother, a resigned sister, a withdrawn brother-in-law and a mother whose presence shapes the family dynamic. As conversations become increasingly heated, carefully maintained appearances begin to crumble, revealing uncomfortable truths and complicated relationships.
🎭 Comedy with a Human Touch
Blending biting wit with relatable family situations, the play offers a humorous yet thought-provoking look at the ties that bind people together. Its sharp dialogue and recognisable characters make it an engaging theatrical experience for audiences who appreciate French comedy and character-driven storytelling.
Performed in French, the production promises an entertaining outing for theatre enthusiasts and lovers of live performance in Dubai.
