Amants à mi-temps explores the rhythms of contemporary relationships through intimate theatrical language. A compact cast shifts perspectives with precise staging, subtle movement and a keen sense of timing. The piece balances tenderness and irony, employing spare scenic touches and atmospheric lighting to expose the quiet negotiations and small compromises of love. The result is both poignant and wry, rendered with close attention to rhythm and tone.

Requiem brings Agneta & Cie’s dancers together in a sculpted exploration of connection, sound and movement. Bodies become instruments and rhythm, composing an embodied, silent score that shifts between whispered intimacy and surging collective gestures. The choreography treats dance as shared memory, privileging breath, timing and close listening; sparse lights and close physicality shape a contemplative yet visceral atmosphere that invites communal attention and emotional resonance.
Written by Stéphane Bouquet, Six heures plus tard is an intimate stage performance for two performers that explores the fragile bonds between a man and a woman through poetic text, live-filmed images, spare lighting and pared-down stage presence. The piece treats silence as a shared, collective resource and recomposes itself according to each venue’s architecture and the state of the bodies, creating an unusual proximity and contemplative atmosphere.

Noir & Gerber blend warm, intimate soul and blues with original songs in French and English. Vocalists Sophie Noir (voice, bass, piano) and Simon Gerber (voice, guitar, bass) trade melodies and harmonies over driving grooves from drummer Claude Kamber (or Alberto Malo), creating close interplay between voice and instrument. Their repertoire moves from smoky soul to rhythm’n’blues, combining delicate arrangements, raw emotion and playful improvisation that highlight songwriting and spirited live dynamics.
Created by Manon Bril and Etienne Lautrette and directed by Théo Comby Lemaitre, this hybrid lecture-performance blends scholarly rigour with theatrical wit. Historian Manon Bril guides the audience through surprising episodes of human history, overturning assumptions with a sharp, offbeat humour and playful staging. The show mixes clear popular-science explanation, theatrical images and comic timing to reveal that nothing has “always been like this”.

Simon Gerber and Sophie Noir lead a rare two-voice trio, joined by drummer and sound engineer Claude Kamber (often replaced in concert by Alberto Malo). Formed during a residency, the group blends soul, blues and chanson with touches of pop, folk and jazz. Their repertoire mixes original songs in French and English with obscure American soul duets, delivered with minimalist, electric intensity. Recorded and produced by the trio, their live-rooted approach foregrounds warm harmonies, intimate interplay and raw, resonant sonic textures.
Directed by Marika Dreistadt, Halte gives voice to eight young adults formerly in child protection, tracing the fragile passage from placement to adulthood. Non-professional performers — Zakaria Attoumani, Melanda Bertrand-Avebe, Celina Chraiet, Maël Do Nascimento, Alexis Limacher Abreu, Natalia Nguba Ekela, Clémentine Polly Care Pache and Léon Trolliet — blend testimony, courtroom scenes and moments of defiance. The staging mixes documentary realism and theatrical composition to reveal generation Z perspectives and intimate questions about authority, belonging and the future.
