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.

Led by maître à danser Alain Christen, this spring ball revives Playford-era country dances through shared movement and live music. Ensemble Le banquet d’Apollon accompanies the participants: François Mützenberg on recorders, chalumeau and galoubet; Marie-Claire Bettens on recorders and viol; Lisette Aubert on viol. The programme draws from John Playford’s 1651 English Dancing Master, offering a varied, spirited repertoire where popular tunes meet learned composition, inviting dancers of all levels into lively, convivial patterns.
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?

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.
