Written and directed by Cecilia Olivieri, Un An stages a family’s intimate life over the course of a year in 2026. In the vein of documentary theatre and theatre of the real, the piece seeks accessibility and collective resonance through pared-down staging, movement and close observation of everyday rituals. Rehearsals are intentionally brief to preserve immediacy and allow improvisation, keeping performances fresh while revealing the tenderness and tensions that shape family life.

Conceived and performed by Claire Michel de Haas, this musical tour traces the evolution of music written for the human voice from ancient Greek fragments to contemporary repertoire. Vocal pieces converse with the collection, juxtaposed with harpsichord, cello and viola da gamba, and piano played by Réjane Buchet, Arbogaste Plantard and Johann Vacher. The programme blends historical timbres and intimate narration, creating a contemplative, tactile soundscape that invites close listening and reimagines the voice as both instrument and storyteller.

Moments of tenderness puncture the satire, inviting reflection on intimacy, identity and the small rituals of coupling. It balances humour and poignancy to produce a lively theatrical pulse.

Created collectively with SCÈNE ACTIVE, this all-ages performance was devised by around forty young people facing school dropout, guided by a professional artistic team. The Season XI ensemble crafted a fantastical fable exploring friendship, bereavement, addiction, imposed norms, acceptance of difference and consent. Staged in a rich, imaginative world, displaced characters — a demon among mermaids, a princess and a pirate among fairies, a guardian of the fairies in the castle of the Underworld — confront an army of demons as they seek a way home.
