Adapted by Cie Le Magnifique Théâtre from Alessandro Baricco’s novella, Novecento is a maritime fable directed by Julien Schmutz. Actor Michel Lavoie embodies the narrator while pianist-composer Max Jendly conjures nightly jazz waves that shape the piece’s soundworld. The staging transforms stage into ship, where music becomes horizon and memory, blending poetic storytelling and live piano improvisation. The production favours a dreamlike, suspended atmosphere that explores solitude, belonging and the liberating force of music.

3 March – 2 April

Molière’s Tartuffe tells the story of a slick con-man who hides behind ostentatious piety to worm his way into the wealthy Orgon household. Orgon, dazzled by Tartuffe’s sanctimonious rhetoric, defends him even as the impostor’s hypocrisy poisons family bonds and pushes the household toward ruin.

Director Jean Liermier underscores how, in Molière’s work, the female characters serve as the moral compass and spark of resistance, a beacon of hope against oppression. Staged on a stark, minimalist set that exposes the family’s rigid tensions—and featuring Gilles Privat as an unbending Orgon—this production highlights the play’s continuing resonance in a world beset by egotism, fanaticism, and conspiracy thinking. The central question remains timeless: will society keep falling for Tartuffe’s brand of seductive deceit?

In French. Ages 12 and up.

Performed by Ensemble Sinfonietta Bern, this concert journeys into the enchanting universe of Hayao Miyazaki through orchestral arrangements of the most magical melodies from his films, alongside new works inspired by his vision. Lush cinematic textures, delicate solos and shimmering harmonies evoke nostalgia and wonder, while subtle dynamics and refined ensemble playing create intimate, immersive soundscapes that shift between lyricism and drama, transporting listeners into storybook landscapes.

3 – 17 March

Created by Aurélie Hubeau and Lucie Hanoy, L’IMPOSTURE is a comic and poetic exploration of doubt, self-image and belonging. The piece follows a woman who describes herself as too small, obese, ugly and a tomboy, and recounts how she forged an identity in today’s world. Using objects, clothing and puppets manipulated with inventive choreography, the performance weaves humor, poetry and music — from Patrick Bruel to gospel and karaoke — to celebrate difference and question social norms, delivering warmth and poignancy.

8 January – 8 March

Winter of Caecilia gathers seven local theatre productions that revisit contemporary and classic forms through monologue and solo performance. Artists such as Nastassja Tanner, Ahmed Belbachir, Roland Vouilloz and Vincent Jacquet offer intimate, visceral interpretations, while texts by playwrights like Fabrice Melquiot are brought to life under directors including Jean‑Yves Ruf. The programme mixes poetic, comic and physically charged pieces that privilege sensory staging and emotional immediacy, inviting audiences into distinct, singular theatrical universes.

6 – 15 March

Succès Reprise is a sparkling vaudeville that blurs the line between theatrical comedy and the comedy of everyday life. A charming love triangle performed by a tight trio of actors unfolds through rapid-fire exchanges, physical gags and shifting misunderstandings. The staging favours bright pace and playful timing, delivering light-hearted warmth while revealing awkward human impulses and social foibles. The piece leaves a lingering smile and a sense of affectionate irony.

In French.
