Alice Laloy crafts a dystopian world where two champions compete using mechanical avatars in challenges inspired by everyday life. Blending video games, visual arts, circus, and puppetry, the show features virtuoso performers—acrobats, singers, contortionists, and dancers—who captivate and unsettle the audience. The work questions contemporary power dynamics and our capacity for revolt and change.

Metin & Kemal Kahraman are two brothers who have shaped socially engaged folk music for over thirty years. Their work, presented by NovaVibe Creative, is rooted in memory, exile and struggle, blending musical simplicity with intense poetic expression. On stage their voices and restrained arrangements foster intimate yet powerful encounters, where emotion, dignity and political commitment converge. The performance moves between quiet reflection and surging resolve, inviting listeners into a shared space of remembrance and solidarity.
A solitary man ventures through the desert in search of Prometheus, blaming the gods for igniting a consuming fire within each human. This monologue delves into the connections between ancient tragedy and contemporary turmoil, examining desire and existence through the lenses of love and creation, all in pursuit of an illuminating fire that does not consume.

About the play
1942. France is under occupation. Seven friends gather to celebrate Sophie’s birthday—until two German officers are shot beneath their windows. Kaubach, a Nazi commander, forces the guests to make an unthinkable choice: to designate two hostages among themselves.
Thus begins a harrowing struggle for survival. By confronting the depths of human nature, the play invites us to question which side we would have chosen.

Based on the Jekyll myth, this theatrical adaptation examines metamorphosis as both physical and social, probing identity, gender and the boundary between good and male/female. Stark black-and-white staging and chiaroscuro lighting evoke twilight and old horror films, while a persistent, slicing fog thickens the atmosphere. The venerable Dr Jekyll’s unsettling experiments unfold in a late-19th-century London laboratory, and his circle is drawn into mounting anguish as transformations accelerate.

Comedian Verino presents Rodéo, a brisk solo show that probes the complex tensions we carry. Rooted yet with feet in the void, the piece navigates contemporary turbulence with nimble physicality and precise writing. Texts by Verino, created in collaboration with Marion Balestriero, Aude Galliou and Greg Vacher, under the stage direction of Thibaut Evrard. The performance blends sharp observation and poetic moments to seek moments of balance amid instability.

Curated by Frédéric Post and Sonia Perego, MOS ESPA offers an unplugged, immersive festival framed as a barefoot, cocoon-like listening experience. The program features performances by Léna Hiriartborde, Yann Leguay, Julian Sartorius, Pali Meursault and others, blending field recordings, amplified objects, acoustic traditions and electronic textures. Site-specific installations and wooden instruments crafted by a participating maker lend a handcrafted intimacy, while sparse lighting and spatialised sound create close, contemplative atmospheres that favour shared, intense musical moments.
Mos_Espa is a project best experienced barefoot, in socks, slippers, or leather boots. You will be asked to leave your shoes and phone in the cloakroom. For this edition without electricity, credit card payments will not be accepted; cash only.
