Ça Veut Jouer (Ou Bien?) / Robert Bouvier

Ça Veut Jouer (Ou Bien?) is a witty and poetic one-man show by Robert Bouvier, who steps in as the unlikely Prince Siegfried when a ballet company is held up at the airport. Drawing on his own experiences as actor, director, and theater manager, Bouvier humorously recounts his artistic journey—from his first school play to leading the Théâtre du Passage in Neuchâtel—while sharing behind-the-scenes tales of politicians, patrons, and temperamental artists. Directed by Joëlle Bouvier and Simon Romang, the performance blends storytelling, music, and theatrical charm into an unforgettable solo experience.

Actor Samuel Labarthe turns Nicolas Bouvier’s fever-drenched memoir The Scorpion-Fish into a hypnotic, miniaturist tour de force: marooned in 1950s Ceylon after a headlong road trip from Geneva through the Balkans and Afghanistan, the once-ebullient traveller spirals into tropical delirium, trading human company for buzzing insects, mirage-bright visions and mordant humour that flits between the sublime and the grotesque. Under Catherine Schaub’s finely gauged direction, Labarthe channels both the lush lyricism and the slow-burn torment of this “motionless voyage,” distilling Bouvier’s languid prose into a tactile, rejuvenating elixir that lets the audience feel every bead of sweat, jolt of wonder and sting of isolation.

Featured are the Trio Sonata “La Flore”, the solo violin sonatas from Opus 2, and the Sonata No. 7 in C minor “Tombeau de Monsieur de Lully”. The performance highlights the fusion of French dance and Italian influence, celebrating Rebel’s discreet virtuosity and characteristic stylistic harmony.
