Le Poids des Choses

Created and performed by Camille Boitel and Sève Bernard, Le Poids des Choses turns gravity into a playful laboratory. Through a series of short, witty scenes for adults and children, heavy objects become featherlight while everyday gestures grow unexpectedly arduous. Objects seem to acquire a life of their own as bodies slip the laws of physics; an anvil floats and trunks fall upwards. Precise technique and discreet virtuosity animate a visually striking, mischievous performance that blends wonder, humour and silent astonishment.

Two short plays by Anton Chekhov staged by Tibor Ockenfels and Flavie Tapparel, presented as compact dramatic machines where romantic comedy masks escalating confrontations between desire, affection and material interest. Performances rely on precise physical timing, terse exchanges and a lean, playful design to reveal the simmering violence behind courtship rituals. The three actors — Estelle Bridet, Matteo Prandi and Raphaël Vachoux — inhabit heightened character types that shift between farce and darker comic truth, creating a sharply observed, kinetic evening.

Directed by Rebecca Stella and adapted with Danielle Barthélemy, Cendrillon blends classic fairy-tale drama with manga-inspired staging. Pili Loop’s original score, Mathieu Courtaillier’s lighting and the set by Camille Ansquer shape a vivid, contemporary universe. Costumes by Alice Toutev and Sonia Bosc and choreography by Léon add playful movement and character. Anthony Surleraux’s video projections and graphics expand the tale’s visual world, pairing tradition with modern theatrical textures.

28 October – 8 November

Directed by Eléonore Bonah and staged by scenographer Maria Clara Castioni, CHRÜSIMÜSI transforms Adelheid Duvanel’s terse, poetic fragments into a multilingual theatrical tapestry. Performers Eléonore Bonah and Maria Clara Castioni inhabit hypersensitive, marginal characters whose everyday gestures oscillate between absurdity and tenderness. Sparse staging and a careful interplay of voice and silence highlight Duvanel’s Kafkaesque intimacy, while language shifts (French, German, Italian) create a fragile, dreamlike atmosphere that balances humour and quiet despair, celebrating stubborn acts of resistance.
