"She's dead. Get on with it"... These are the words used to introduce Norma, the new immersive show imagined by the Big Drama company. Scheduled to run over several dates, from December 5, 2023 (and extended until the end of April), audiences are invited to plunge into the heart of this production in a still-secret emblematic location in the capital. Norma unveils a story where fiction and reality intertwine, where each spectator becomes an actor in his or her own emotional journey.
"Norma was the queen of the orphan clan. She saved our lives and taught us everything: how to read, write and even fly. So we took from the rich (everyone) to give to the poor (us). And then we became adults, and she became an old lady. Tonight, all the orphans are gathered to celebrate her funeral, and all she leaves us is debt. But she's thought of everything: one of her billionaire friends is about to arrive. She's given us exactly 15 minutes to pull off her biggest scam yet...".
Created by Big Drama, an entity renowned for its immersive artistic experiences, Norma promises to be an unmissable event, an immersive, musical black comedy. The very essence of the show lies in complete immersion, offering a unique interaction between the audience and the universe depicted. The traditional boundaries between stage and audience are broken down, allowing everyone to immerse themselves deeply in a dense, poignant narrative. Every detail, from the sets to the costumes to the staging, is carefully crafted to transport the audience into a world that is both mysterious and captivating.
Beyond the immersive experience, Norma stands out for its rich story, peppered with moments of grace, tension and emotion. Big Drama, always keen to innovate, uses the latest technologies and innovative narrative techniques to guarantee total immersion. It's an invitation to experience a unique adventure, a moment of escape in the heart of Paris, that will appeal to art lovers and the curious in search of out-of-the-ordinary experiences.

Our opinion:
We were lucky enough to be able to attend the immersive Norma show, and we weren't disappointed! The show is immersive from start to finish, and loses us between reality and fiction. The actors are excellent, and never step out of character for the duration of the show. At Norma, you're not going to see an ordinary play, you're going to be free to move around and interact with the actors, playing the clan's orphans. The magic of Norma is that each spectator can live a different experience, and we strongly advise you to separate yourself from your loved ones during certain moments of the performance. The story unfolds in front of our eyes, sometimes in song, and we don't see the time passing. We won't tell you more, as there are so many surprises to discover on site. This unique experience is a must-see immersive show in Paris! Norma awaits you for her colorful funeral...
