Directed by Salma Lagrouni, Barîn, au-delà des frontières is a staged reading inspired by the true story of Shahla, a Kurdish woman from Iran. Shahla performs her own testimony alongside four artists — actresses and musicians — transforming lived experience into raw, poetic drama. The creative team includes composer Berrin Ünsal, set and costume designer Ouidad Lagrouni, builder Gregory Berton and video artist Younes Lagrouni. The piece crafts a cathartic, intimate atmosphere of resilience, memory and female solidarity.

Directed by Bastien Blanchard, CANICULE is a first play that turns a scorching domestic scene into a comedic yet unsettling probe of consumerist happiness. Actors Nadim Ahmed, Estelle Benaïch, Danae Dario and Angelo Dell’Aquila shift between light banter and mounting unease as a repairman exposes fissures in a marriage. Cornélius Spaeter’s scenography, Marc Heinmendinger’s lighting and Ljubica Markovic’s costumes frame moments of heat, claustrophobia and ironic intimacy, touching on climate change and overconsumption with dry wit and emotional precision.

Directed by Cyril Teste, this restless adaptation of Anton Chekhov’s Platonov concentrates the action into a single, simmering night. Teste blends cinema and theatre, letting the camera trace fragments of conversations, music and the shifting paths of desire and solitude. Around the melancholy misanthrope Micha, an ensemble confronts money, regret and incomprehension as frustrations and longings are amplified by summer heat and drink. The staging is at once filmic and theatrical, precise and emotionally porous.
