French rapper Oxmo Puccino headlines a season-opening concert, bringing his poetic texts, magnetic presence and intense charisma to a singular musical journey. The evening opens with rising lyric star Valérie Eickhoff, who performs the Wesendonck Lieder, one of the great song cycles devoted to love. The programme blends rap and classical song in a reflective, emotionally charged programme. The event supports Fondation CANSEARCH as part of Septembre en Or.
More than simple program announcements, these events are true theatrical “green flashes” — moments of celebration linking the end of one season to the start of the next. For this final edition (note the “s” in “presentation(s)”), director Jean Liermier and a constellation of surprise guests will present a lively retrospective: a collage of excerpts, images, sounds, and behind-the-scenes stories collected over eighteen years (2008–2026). The audience is invited on a playful and spectacular journey into the creative heart of the theatre, to relive its highlights, secrets, and emotions — each evening, of course, concluding with a vibrant round of applause.

Collective BERLIN, led artistically by Yves Degryse, stages a site-specific spectacle inspired by Georges Perec’s La Vie mode d’emploi.

Cabaret en chantier is a laboratory for short puppet creations that treats making a puppet show like walking a tightrope while juggling. Balanced between text and image, between real and imaginary, between the animated and the inanimate, it demands writing, building and precise manipulation; every gesture and detail can tip the whole. This edition highlights emerging artists—students and career-changers—who receive institutional support to explore and reinvent puppet arts, presenting their first creations.
