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.

Follow a silhouette as they move through waves of strong feeling while a pianist plays calm, steady music. Gradually childhood memories surface, spoken in gentle gestures and small movements. Kids will watch shifts in rhythm, listen to low piano tones, and feel the hush and warmth of the scene. This quiet duet invites curiosity about how feelings grow and settle, encouraging listening, reflection, and gentle imagination.
Acqua Alta takes you to a rainy day in Venice, where rising waters flood the home of a quarreling man and woman. A performance blending humor, drama, and the magic of the Serenissima — boots and umbrellas advised!
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.
