Directed by Robert Sandoz, this choral re-reading of Molière’s Dom Juan transposes the tragedy to a Day of the Dead setting in Mexico. A compact ensemble confronts cowardice, individualism and cynicism through tight, kinetic staging and ritualised tableaux. The production blends dark humour with a spectral visual language, where communal dynamics amplify moral unraveling and emotional tension. Sparse gestures and vivid imagery invite reflection on complicity and desire.

The cast brings poetic intensity to the island’s drama—Miranda, Caliban and the spirit Ariel—blending vocal nuance, atmospheric design and inventive staging to revisit exile, magic and reconciliation.

Musiques Interdites recreates the charged atmosphere of a Weimar-era cabaret where humour, poetry and music become acts of resistance.

The production foregrounds the subversive power of art, evoking both the creative freedom pursued by artists and the fear and repression that sought to silence them.
