Comedian Kevin Robin presents N°5 Chips, a compact stand-up show that plays with the odd intimacy of speaking into a microphone. With sharp observations and a dry, affectionate tone, Robin turns everyday anxieties and absurdities into tight, laugh‑laden sketches. The performance balances candid storytelling and quick-witted riffs, inviting the audience into a familiar, mischievous perspective on public speaking and private doubts.

Four performers embody testimonies from different generations in Sept, situated at the crossroads of dance and film.

Created and performed by Elina Kulikova and Dima Efremov, TRILOGIE DE LA GUERRE interweaves three musical-performance pieces responding to exile, the war in Ukraine and repression in Russia. Kulikova’s chapters evoke classical and folk song, transforming lament into a ritualised, sensory mourning; Efremov’s contribution uses sound art and electro textures to shift perspective and map clandestine networks of resistance. Together the trilogy forms a compact dramaturgy of intimacy, unease and fragile hope, immersive and politically charged.

Directed by Marie-José Malis, Retour au pays revisits Hugo von Hofmannsthal’s letters through a spare, lucid staging. Performers Alexandra Tiedemann and Juan Crespillo inhabit the returning merchant’s disorientation, while Aurélia Ansermet provides live music and sound. Bernard Héritier’s scenography and Jessy Ducatillon’s lighting shape moments of visual surprise, most poignantly a Van Gogh encounter that restores belief in the world. The piece refuses facile answers, offering theatrical lucidity and an austere emotional clarity.
