R.ONDE.S

R.ONDE.S by Pierre Rigal transforms the ancient circular dance into a contemporary, immersive performance blending ritual, electronic music, and choreography. Born from a student workshop, the piece explores the symbolic power of the circle—a space of equality, shared energy, and collective resonance.

Inside a circular setup, eight dancers and two musicians (Gwenaël Drapeau and Mélanie Chartreux) create a hypnotic trance using acoustic sounds and electronic loops. Gentle, mobile lighting enhances this evolving space of communal celebration.

Are Demons Among Us? Berbiguier de Terre-Neuve du Thym was a French citizen from Avignon who, after having his cards read by a fortune-teller, began to see malevolent beings all around him, whom he called “goblins.” The delusion lasted his entire life. His book on demons is an impressively detailed work, written in a rich literary style and containing utterly bizarre content—both pathetic and unintentionally comical.

It constitutes the most complete account of the inner world of a man gripped by profound madness. It was rediscovered in the following century by the Surrealists, notably Raymond Queneau, as well as by enthusiasts of outsider art. The performance will be a montage of the very words of this famous “literary madman” and will offer the audience a journey into the labyrinth of his thoughts.

5 – 31 May

Brigade financière stages a tense, chamber drama by Hugues Leforestier that confronts the logic of contemporary finance. Under Antony Mettler’s direction, Christian Gregori and Maria Mettral embody a sharp, cerebral duel between a financial crimes commissioner and an accused executive. Christian Gregori also signs scenography and costumes while Florian Cuellar sculpts the lighting. The production blends police-procedural suspense with satirical intelligence, probing power, privilege and the contradictions of today’s economic system.

Created collectively by the company À l’Ouest with Guillaume Pidancet, this inventive staging reimagines Charles Perrault’s Bluebeard for families. Performed in a mobile truck‑theatre that becomes a ‘suitcase of dreams,’ the production blends playful storytelling, poetic imagery and close‑up interaction to transform a dark tale into a gentle exploration of curiosity and trust. The intimate ensemble features Pierre Boulben, Hugo Braillard and Loubna Raigneau.

Under the baton of John Axelrod, the Orchestra Filarmonica di Puglia teams with MUSIKAIROS for a program pairing Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana with Francis Poulenc’s Concerto for Two Pianos. Soloists John Osborn (tenor), Bogdan Baciu (baritone) and Varduhi Khachatryan (soprano) drive the cantata’s elemental choral eruptions, while pianists Lucas Chiche and David Chen trade witty, lyrical passages in Poulenc’s score. The evening balances raw rhythmic energy and intimate lyricism, with vivid orchestral colours shaping a dramatic, theatrical soundscape.

26 May, 9 & 23 June

Fiona G. brings a razor-sharp solo hour of dark, observational stand-up that mixes Swiss deadpan with Parisian stage instincts. Fluent in several languages and armed with a precise sarcasm, she navigates subjects from everyday rituals to taboo topics with a playful cruelty and agile improvisation. The piece is a work-in-progress that plays with ego, irony and timing, offering unpredictable moments that pivot between biting malice and sudden tenderness.

19 May – 7 June

Directed by Claude Vuillemin, Yasmina Reza’s Trois versions de la vie assembles four performers, Laurent Deshusses, Marie Druc, Sophie Lukasik and Nicolas Rossier, in a taut, virtuosic staging. Lighting by Rinaldo Del Boca and costumes by Sylvie Lépine shape shifting domestic realities as the play probes how social veneer fractures intimate relationships. This production by Les Amis – Le Chariot demands precision and emotional nuance from its cast.
