17 – 18 June

Directed by Oscar Gómez Mata and Bastien Semenzato, this staging brings together 16 young performers from La Manufacture’s promotion O to tackle Hamlet in its entirety. Combining tragic force with mordant, absurd humour, the piece explores how the past splashes into the present and how institutions unravel. Using the jeu bouffon — masks, exaggeration and the subversion of power — the ensemble shifts between farce, violent outbursts and intimate doubt as the prince teeters between thought and action.

Led by Thierry Courlet (voice, piano, compositions), Le Thierryble revisits 1960s–70s rock with French-language lyrics that blend bittersweet poetry and wry paranoia. Electric guitars give way to cello and delicate arrangements by Vartan Baonian, while Maëllie’s vocal textures and percussion colour the sound. Influences such as Pink Floyd, the Beatles and Genesis surface without pastiche, creating melancholic, cinematic moments. Presented within the Musique à Pont-Rouge programme in collaboration with FA-MI, the set feels intimate and reflective.
