Sewers Museum

On october 9 and 10, 2026, the Sewer Museum offers you a unique theatrical experience with The baron Terré, a play by Florian Paque and Pol Tronco.

September 23 is school photo day. For Youri, 11 years old, everything is ready. But upon waking, an unexpected burst of impetigo disfigures the young boy. Confronted with the pitiless mockery of his high school friends, Youri runs away and takes refuge where no one will look for him : in the sewers of Paris.

Underground, his path crosses that of three sewers workers with colorful personalities, Nadège, Tino and Malik. The boy discovers an unknown world and learns the pride of those who work in the shadows. While the press and the whole of France are passionate about the escape of “baron Terré”, a solidarity pact is sealed underground.

A modern fable about tolerance, the gaze of others and the value of shadow jobs, to be discovered in an exceptional place.
