The play “Five Days in March” by Toshiki Okada, directed by Nadim Ahmed, captures the lives of young Tokyoites in March 2003 against the backdrop of the Iraq War. A couple randomly meets and isolates themselves in a love hotel, while other aimless characters drift nearby, preoccupied with their everyday lives and uncertainties. This play portrays a generation caught between carefree living and a sense of powerlessness in the face of historical events.

The Gurtner/Bovay/Gremaud collective showcases “La Magnificité” at Maison Saint-Gervais. This trio, consisting of Michèle Gurtner, Tiphanie Bovay-Klameth, and François Gremaud, performs a series of lively and absurd sketches that highlight a playful and purposeless blend of gestures and dialogue. Combining elements of automatic writing, surrealist games, and improvisation, their performance is naive, poetic, tender, and most importantly, hilariously engaging.
