Le train, directed by Joséphine de Weck and produced by Opus 89, stages a tense solo journey of a woman fleeing a controlling relationship. The text, breathless and fragmentary, follows her search for refuge as it probes longing, codependence and the politics of care. The staging is intimate and sensory, combining sparse language with live sound. The programme also includes a writing workshop and a concert by L’Amour du ciel.

Directed by Claude Vuillemin, Yasmina Reza’s Trois versions de la vie assembles four performers, Laurent Deshusses, Marie Druc, Sophie Lukasik and Nicolas Rossier, in a taut, virtuosic staging. Lighting by Rinaldo Del Boca and costumes by Sylvie Lépine shape shifting domestic realities as the play probes how social veneer fractures intimate relationships. This production by Les Amis – Le Chariot demands precision and emotional nuance from its cast.

Written and directed by Raphaëlle Farman, this musical comedy follows six eccentric lottery winners whose most improbable dreams suddenly come within reach. With the charismatic show host Macha and the scheming production director Florence, the ensemble embarks on escapades that leap from Arthurian chivalry to the surface of the moon. A troupe of spirited performers animates comic tableaux, while playful staging, brisk choreography and bursts of onstage magic create an exuberant, nostalgic atmosphere that celebrates imagination and folly.

Le retour, conceived and performed by Marion Duval and staged by the Chris Cadillac company, blends theatre, clowning and performance. Marion Duval leads a large ensemble including AzuXenia, Adina Secretan and Aram Xwindar, supported by a collaborative creative team. The piece confronts antagonism between species and the collapse of capitalist systems through participatory, physical and often humorous scenes. Sparse, visceral staging and communal moments invite reflection on coexistence and collective responsibility.

Are Demons Among Us? Berbiguier de Terre-Neuve du Thym was a French citizen from Avignon who, after having his cards read by a fortune-teller, began to see malevolent beings all around him, whom he called “goblins.” The delusion lasted his entire life. His book on demons is an impressively detailed work, written in a rich literary style and containing utterly bizarre content—both pathetic and unintentionally comical.
It constitutes the most complete account of the inner world of a man gripped by profound madness. It was rediscovered in the following century by the Surrealists, notably Raymond Queneau, as well as by enthusiasts of outsider art. The performance will be a montage of the very words of this famous “literary madman” and will offer the audience a journey into the labyrinth of his thoughts.

Directed by François Marin, this intimate staging examines the fraught passion between Martin Heidegger and Hannah Arendt against the moral upheavals of Nazi Germany. Mario Diament’s text, adapted by André Nerman, traces a forbidden love between a philosopher and his student, probing complicity, memory and the struggle to reconcile heart and conscience. Sabrina Martin and Frank Semelet inhabit the roles with spare, intense performances, supported by a precise, austere mise en scène that foregrounds emotional conflict and ethical ambiguity.

Danyèl Waro is a seminal voice of Maloya from Réunion, blending raw percussion, creole poetry and demanding political urgency. A poet-musician and craftsman, he performs on self-made instruments—kayams, roulérs and pikérs—channeling ancestral rhythms into powerful calls for social memory, resistance and cultural preservation. His concerts unfold in intense, communal energy: trance-like grooves, penetrating vocal declarations and spare, organic arrangements that move between lament and defiant hope.
