24 heures de la vie d’une femme

Staged by Juan Crespillo and performed by Compagnie le Phénix, this adaptation by and starring Anne Martinet dramatizes Stefan Zweig’s novella about a chance, obsessive encounter. Madame C, an aristocratic widow, is swept into a twenty-four-hour passion that unsettles her memory and loosens long-held constraints. Sparse staging and focused acting foreground inner turmoil, while the production explores desire, guilt and liberation with tense intimacy, drawing audiences into a fragile psychological world.

Théophile Alexandre blends voice and movement in a stripped-back, vibrant baroque creation that fuses early music with contemporary dance. As singer and dancer he delivers a powerful, singular performance, shaped by Jean-Claude Gallotta’s choreography and Guillaume Vincent’s piano. Twenty-one finely honed pieces unfold like the 21 grams of the soul, where music becomes flesh and gesture turns into melody. Between well-known masterpieces and forgotten treasures, the production offers an intimate, organic journey through human emotions, delicate and intense.

Directed by Geneviève Pasquier and performed by Vincent Babel, LETTRE À MON DICTATEUR stages Eugène’s cathartic gesture of writing to Nicolae Ceauşescu. The production blends intimate monologue with archival echoes, folding fragments of Pierre Omer’s Swing Revue into a jazz-tinged score that punctuates memory and revelation. The creative space favors spare tableaux, tactile sound textures and a nimble rhythm that offsets historical weight with mischievous warmth, transforming personal trauma into a tender, witty coming-of-age confession.

This piece, a blend of sports commentary and alpine storytelling, delves into our connection with achievement and performance, while also recalling the ghosts of the Eiger’s victims.

Staging is kept spare to focus on vocal colour and textual resonance, crafting an intimate, inquisitive atmosphere that reframes familiar songs as living documents of influence.
