La Fille du Far West

Booking Required

La Fille du Far West, by Giacomo Puccini, is staged by Marie-Ève Signeyrole in a tense, close-up production that turns the frontier bar into a psychological thriller. Conductor Antonino Fogliani leads a powerful, cinematic score that contrasts triumphant American myths with their darker, violent edges. Adapted from David Belasco’s drama, the cast explores desire, honor and revenge amid the gold-rush fervour, with vivid staging, orchestral drama and intense ensemble work.

Sung in Italian with French and English surtitles.

Choreographed by Saša Asentić, Le Sacre du printemps is a reimagined Stravinsky landmark performed by the inclusive company Per.Art. Drawing on historical versions by the Ballets Russes, Maurice Béjart and Pina Bausch and enriched with the voices of disabled poets from Serbia, Iran, Ukraine and the United States, the seven dancers invert the original narrative. The staging transforms ritual into a manifesto of survival, blending physical rigor, collective solidarity and poetic testimony to renew the score as a cry for life.

11 – 13 September

Created and performed by Diederik Peeters, Confabulations blurs the boundary between reality and illusion. Playing a psychiatrist, Peeters uses archival material, historical narratives and personal testimonies to probe memory, perception and confabulation. The staging mixes shifting visual worlds, forensic references and moments of hallucination to produce an unsettling, lyrical investigation of psychiatry, neurology and neurodivergent experience. Second instalment of a trilogy following Apparitions (2018), the piece invites a vertiginous reflection on truth and remembrance.

In French.
