24 – 27 September

Written by Stéphane Bouquet, Six heures plus tard is an intimate stage performance for two performers that explores the fragile bonds between a man and a woman through poetic text, live-filmed images, spare lighting and pared-down stage presence. The piece treats silence as a shared, collective resource and recomposes itself according to each venue’s architecture and the state of the bodies, creating an unusual proximity and contemplative atmosphere.

In French.

Sunday 27 September, 21:00

Sneers, an Italian duo led by Greta Blaankart (electric guitar, vocals) and Leonardo O. Stefenelli (drums), delivers an intense, melancholic odyssey through dark/occult rock. Their new record, (Don’t Quit Before) The Miracle, produced by Jamie Stewart (Xiu Xiu) and released on God Unknown Records, frames a possessed, atmospheric soundscape. The set is laced with ritualistic rhythms, haunting melodies and moments of raw catharsis, complemented by a vinyl passage from NuRe OnnA and Fuxy Lady.

In French.

24 September – 7 October

Directed and performed by Eve Aouizerate, Amours subversives stages a wry, intimate interrogation of gender and desire. With performers Mathilde Lyon and Dylan Poletti, the piece pivots on a provocative premise — a young woman’s decision to abandon a nascent career for the tradwife ideal — and unfolds as a personal theatrical essay on power, intimacy and the contradictions of femininity in 2026. Sparse staging and candid narration create a fierce, tender atmosphere.

Part of the Sunday Concerts season, this open day invites discovery of the hall, its renowned organ and musical life through guided visits, hands-on workshops, historical dance initiation and a silent-film ciné-concert. The programme features actors and singers alongside instrumentalists: Antoine Courvoisier, Charlotte Filou, Julia Deit‑Ferrand (mezzo), Lysa Menu (soprano), Jean‑Paul Pruna (piano), Diego Innocenzi and Thierry Escaich (orgue), and lutenist Monica Pustilnik. Partnerships with ClassiCosy and Fêtes Costumées shape a convivial, tactile encounter with music and heritage.

15 September – 11 October

Directed by Françoise Courvoisier, this production of Anton Chekhov’s Oncle Vania — translated by Arthur Adamov — assembles a committed ensemble (Vincent Bonillo, Pierre Dubey, Bérangère Mastrangelo, Patricia Mollet-Mercier, Clarisse Morizot, Pierre Omer, Juliana Samarine, Edmond Vuilloud) to explore love, the passage of time and illusions lost. The staging, created with scenographer Gilbert Maire and painter André Kasper, uses Rinaldo Del Boca’s lighting, Pierre Omer’s music and Nicolas Le Roy’s sound to evoke both the comedy and the terrifying humanity of Chekhov.

In French.

26 – 27 September
