Festival de la Bâtie – Repertório N.3

Booking Required

Choreographed and performed by Davi Pontes and Wallace Ferreira, Repertório N.3 closes their trilogy with a mischievous, incisive dance that uses irony and mockery as modes of resistance. Created after Bolsonaro’s 2022 defeat, this final chapter swaps the martial frontal energy of earlier pieces for playful, provocative gestures: naked, unmiked bodies and no music foreground look, pride and sly humor. Invoking social media codes and viral culture, the duo interrogates how queer and racialized bodies are seen, exposed and consumed.

Claudine (j’aime pas l’bonheur) is a re-creation by Marjolaine Minot that probes the ambivalence of happiness through intimate theatrical language.

The production favours fragile gestures and precise rhythms to evoke an uneasy, poetic atmosphere.

Created and performed by Leila Moon, this audiovisual piece investigates the nearly forgotten meddahates, a women-led musical and narrative practice from Algeria. Drawing on Moon’s Deep Dive into Meddahates research — field interviews and archival recordings — the performance interweaves sung material and oral narration with electronic textures.

The work foregrounds memory, communal storytelling and acts of resistance, offering an intimate, archival atmosphere that bridges past and present while highlighting female voices and cultural transmission.

“Wasted Land” by Ntando Cele at the Maison Saint-Gervais combines song, music, dance, and multimedia to tackle the climate crisis.

12 – 13 June

Returning to the stage, Carlos Martinez offers an intimate homage to the art of mime and to the audiences who accompanied his career. The evening’s opening is a journey through memory: a man revisits a place that shaped his life and discovers objects that are more than mere things, holding the traces of the past and opening spaces of imagination. Through precise, silent gestures and poetic tableaux, Martinez transforms objects into storytellers, exploring origin, time and heritage while celebrating how art endures.
