Created by the company Alliance Créative, COMME UN LUNDI is a fully improvised theatre piece that probes the textures of modern work life. The five performers — Nina Cachelin, Deborah Chirenti, Malik Kaufmann, Adrien Laplana and Eric Lecoultre — conjure shifting office micro-worlds, from awkward ambition to quiet complicity. Through rapid character shifts, minimalist staging and elastic rhythm, the troupe maps rivalries, unspoken desires and the absurdity of ‘bullshit jobs’, producing moments both comic and quietly unsettling.

The staging privileges sensory intensity, blending physical virtuosity, rhythmic precision and immersive soundscapes to deliver a visceral, kinetic experience.

Returning after two decades on the scene, Odezenne presents the Bordeaux trio’s genre-defying sound, mixing blunt, poetic lyrics with autotuned waltzes and shrewd social observation. Live they balance intimate, melancholic passages with sudden, cathartic eruptions, where close-knit interplay and textural layering create an enveloping sonic atmosphere. The set privileges rhythmic play, vocal contrasts and raw emotional intensity, offering a concentrated, immersive concert experience that reflects the group’s restless, uncompromising outlook.

21 January – 7 February

Inspired by the accounts of women mountaineers, this performance intertwines mountaineering, feminism, and ecology. Two women, united against the elements, commemorate a vanished glacier, confronting fear and hope.
