Voyage au bout de la nuit

Performances

Booking Required

Adapted and performed by Felipe Castro, this solo staging probes the absurdity of war, murderous nationalism and the raw misery at the heart of Céline’s writing. Coach José Lillo supports a performance of muscular, visceral language while Natacha Jaquerod’s set, Rinaldo Del Boca’s lighting and Jean Faravel’s sound sculpt stark, claustrophobic atmospheres. The production balances brutal imagery with moments of surprising humanity, revealing the author’s vocation as a doctor through an intimate, relentless theatrical journey.

Antigel Festival – Faire Fleurir

Usine à Gaz

Nicolas Fayol performs a striking solo that confines the body to a 1.5‑metre landscape, exploring what a man becomes when he can no longer stand. Through contortions, breaths and improvised encounters between hands and feet, he invents new physical vocabularies that blend acrobatics, yoga and hip‑hop. Bathed in precise lighting and accompanied live by the duo Mont Analogue, the piece shifts between animal, child and prehistoric forms, offering a tactile, intimate meditation on human posture and transformation.

Chiara Bersani — Sottobosco

Performances

Pavillon ADC

Choreographer Chiara Bersani invites the audience into the undergrowth of an imagined forest, performed in duo with dancer Elena Sgarbossa and a group of workshop participants. The piece stages bodies limited by disability to probe movement, survival and collective care. Inspired by confinement and the inequalities revealed by the pandemic, it turns the stage into an ecosystem — a vibrating floor, layered soundscape and a shared spatial attention — where small gestures, bodily memory and vulnerability become transformative forces and the basis for a newly imagined community.
