Performed by Françoise Boillat, this intimate staging of Sophocles’ Antigone reimagines the tragedy through sparse, elemental theatricality. The actress confronts authority and allegiance beneath seven remarkable trees, whose silent presence frames tensions between law, nature and personal freedom. The production emphasises stark gestures, close physicality and a raw vocal intensity, letting heritage and dissent resonate through wind and shadow. Audiences are invited into a meditative, tactile encounter with the myth.

In French.

Leonardo García Alarcón and his Cappella Mediterranea, in collaboration with the GTG Ballet, present the opera-dance Castor & Pollux by Jean-Philippe Rameau. Rarely performed in its 1737 version, the work delves into themes of brotherly love and sacrifice amidst a war between two peoples. The show features renowned baroque artists, including performances by Reinoud van Mechelen and Andreas Wolf. Dance is woven into the core of the dramaturgy, highlighting the emotional and musical depth of Rameau’s composition.

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.

In French.
