Performed by Édouard Louis and directed by Thomas Ostermeier, this terse, unflinching monologue examines the premature exhaustion of a father’s body and traces the social forces that shaped it. A sequence of fragments alternates indignation, vengeance and abiding tenderness. Nina Wetzel’s scenography, Caroline Tavernier’s costumes and Erich Schneider’s lighting frame a stark, intimate staging, while Sylvain Jacques’ music and the dramaturgy of Florian Borchmeyer and Élisa Leroy shape its rhythm.

Directed by Marie Wyler and adapted from Violaine Bérot’s novel, Comme des bêtes follows a man nicknamed “the Bear” whose difference unsettles a mountain village after a child is sighted near his cave. Performed by Marie Probst, Marie Ruchat, Alexandra Tiedemann and David Casada, the piece mixes elements of folk tale and detective narrative to probe mutual taming between humans and other forms of life. Giulia Muniz’s costumes, David Kretonic’s lighting and Rudy Deceliere’s sound design build a tense, mysterious atmosphere that questions the limits of rationality.

Choreographed by Belgian Piet Van Dycke, Beyond gathers six performers from dance, acrobatics and pole dance in a striking physical theatre exploring balance, risk and collective support.

The piece blends athleticism and tenderness, offering a visually bold yet intimate investigation of how bodies meet and build bridges above the void. Produced within Steps festival.

Françoise Boillat brings Antigone to life in an outdoor performance set against the backdrop of seven “remarkable trees” each month.

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.
