La baleine 52 hertz

Created by Collectif Humagine, La baleine 52 hertz examines autism and neurodivergent thought through intimate theatrical language. Written and performed by Valentina Luporini and Cédric Schaerer, the piece pairs Luporini’s dramaturgical voice with Schaerer’s multi-instrumental practice to shape its soundscape. The company, founded in 2023, draws artists from theatre, circus and music to explore compensation mechanisms, learning processes, emotional load and the distinct languages of autism, with a focused attention on feminine expressions often underdiagnosed.

Performed by Françoise Courvoisier (voice), pianist and composer Moncef Genoud, and saxophonist Valentin Conus, this project sets Henri Michaux’s poems against a sensual jazz soundscape. Genoud’s original compositions and borrowed motifs intertwine with Courvoisier’s vocal phrasing and Conus’s supple saxophone, leaving space for improvisation. The piece explores memory, fragility and shifting ground through fragmented text and elastic musical lines, creating an intimate, dreamlike atmosphere where language and music open doors to the imagination.

Written by Penda Diouf and staged by Evelyne Castellino, LA GRANDE OURSE is an ecofeminist fable that traces a mother’s descent after a minor incident becomes criminalized. Combining video, choreographed movement and choral voices, the piece weaves police violence, racism and sexism into a hallucinatory, dystopian world where omnipresent surveillance watches every gesture. As the heroine reconnects with ancestral nature by transforming into a bear, the production evokes animal survival instinct, collective gossip and the fragile line between humanity and wildness, offering a visceral, poetic reflection on power and resistance.

Through the figure of Professor Magicus, this performance reconstructs early 20th-century Geneva: a conjurer who opened a magic shop, founded the first French magic magazine and, in 1925, died on stage during the trick called «Le sac à l’œuf». The narrative blends archives and fairground attractions, recalling 4,924 tricks shared open-source and a city shaped into the cradle of modern magic. Direction, set, costume, lighting and sound design weave nostalgia and unease, oscillating between spectacle and memory.

An original text by Virginie Despentes is brought to life by a dancer, an actor, a percussionist, and a singer.

Performed by Camélia Acef and Youri Rebeko, La tête ailleurs is a light, comic musical about Norah, who can’t help hearing songs in her head whenever she tries to concentrate. The piece slides between Broadway-classic, funk, pop and tango, treating the intrusive melodies as a playful yet unsettling manifestation of the unconscious. The staging balances energetic numbers and intimate moments, probing memory and identity. The show was nominated at the 2025 Trophées de la Comédie Musicale (Best Book; Revelation Masculine for Youri Rebeko).

26 – 28 March

Conceived by Jacques Gay, this new musical comedy unravels a dinner full of twists where the secret lives of the guests surface by chance. An ensemble cast shifts between comic timing and sudden poignancy, carried by an original score and witty lyrics. The staging trades realism for theatrical invention, with clever scenic shifts, expressive lighting and playful costume moments that heighten social masks and misunderstandings. The result is frothy yet incisive, a night of laughter threaded with unexpected tenderness.
