Don’t just like it, live it!
An open talent evening mixing an open mic with scheduled concerts and a communal jam. Performers — musicians, stand-up comics, improvisers, slammers, magicians and circus artists — share short pieces in a lively, informal programme that moves from solo showcases to band sets and culminates in a bluegrass jam. The atmosphere is playful and supportive, inviting experimentation, surprises and spontaneous collaborations between artists of different disciplines.
Performed and directed by Eve Aouizerate, this incisive solo creation blends autofiction and faux stand-up to turn fairy-tale promises into a sharp satire. Using humour and precise stagecraft, Aouizerate interrogates reactionary online imaginaries and the contemporary allure of tradwives, exposing tensions between domestic idealisation and feminist inheritance. The piece mixes intimate confession, comic timing and critical observation to probe identity, boredom and the pressures shaping women’s lives.
In French.
Neverland is a chamber opera directed by Julien Chavaz with music by Sarah Nemtsov and performed with Ensemble Contrechamps. The piece inverts the Peter Pan myth, presenting an unsettling child who refuses to grow and becomes trapped in a frozen eternity. Nemtsov’s score blends whispered voices, dense orchestral textures and electronic fragments to shape a fragile, tectonic sound world. Staging, lighting and costumes transform a shifting house where memory, fear and metamorphosis are embodied.
Three performers plunge into the ideas of Mark Fisher to question why imagining different futures has become so difficult. On stage, electronic music, rap, projected texts like slogans, militant karaoke and a miniature dancefloor collide. Each performer circulates with an alter ego — a kitsch, radical, excessive version of themselves — as identities slip, overlap and are improvised live. Produced by Superprod in coproduction with La Bâtie and TO!.
In French.
Directed by Aurélia Lüscher, Au Grand Passage stages a tender and questioning dialogue with her paternal grandmother and the spectral traces that linger among the living. Combining documentary inquiry and poetic dramaturgy, Lüscher conjures the voices of those who engage with the beyond amid a wax and mist décor that blurs visible and invisible. Drawing on readings like Magali Molinié and Vinciane Despret, the piece explores what cannot be resolved, using theatre’s spectral dimension to imagine passage between forms.
In French.
Play with clay and shape small sculptures in a family workshop led by a ceramic artist. Roll, pinch, and press warm clay to make pots, beads, or tiny figures while hearing soft tapping and seeing hands leave colorful fingerprints. Children will explore textures, try simple techniques, and watch pieces take form. The workshop encourages creativity, patience, and discovery through touch, movement, and quiet storytelling as families create keepsakes together.
Kids ages from 5 to 12.
Otis Thaïs Martin performs a solo trapeze piece that turns acrobatic balance into a metaphor for living with anxiety. On a rigging that oscillates and resists, Martin mixes aerial performance, spoken testimony and musical improvisation by Camille Garcia‑Rennes to explore exhaustion, survival strategies and the tenderness of queer kinship. Formerly associated with L’Abri, the artist transforms the stage into a political space for collective care and witness, crafting moments of tension that open onto surprising tenderness and fragile joy.
