Spiritist, improvisatory theatre that unfolds like a forbidden confession. In a bare room lit by pale light, a former asylum director faces the camera and speaks in a voice at once calm and unnerving. Memory, guilt and hallucination interlace as fragments of institutional history—erased files, unclaimed patients—resurface and unmake narrative coherence. The staging relies on sparse set and stark lighting to heighten claustrophobic intimacy, inviting a slow, disquieting immersion in the uncanny.

23 April – 13 May

Lapin Lapin is a compassionate comedy that follows a large, eccentric family living in extreme poverty. Directed by Sarah Marcuse, the staging centers on Mama Lapin’s courage and optimism.

Curated by Frédéric Post and Sonia Perego, MOS ESPA offers an unplugged, immersive festival framed as a barefoot, cocoon-like listening experience. The program features performances by Léna Hiriartborde, Yann Leguay, Julian Sartorius, Pali Meursault and others, blending field recordings, amplified objects, acoustic traditions and electronic textures. Site-specific installations and wooden instruments crafted by a participating maker lend a handcrafted intimacy, while sparse lighting and spatialised sound create close, contemplative atmospheres that favour shared, intense musical moments.

Mos_Espa is a project best experienced barefoot, in socks, slippers, or leather boots. You will be asked to leave your shoes and phone in the cloakroom. For this edition without electricity, credit card payments will not be accepted; cash only.
