Tropismes

Tropismes is an ensemble theatre creation devised by an amateur company, shaped from performers’ improvisations into a cohesive script. Directed by Xavier Cavada, Nathalie Cuenet and Valérie Poirier, the staging explores chance encounters in a concourse where bodies brush, avoid or collide. Through comic misunderstandings, burlesque situations and sudden, life-changing meetings, the ensemble balances comedy and tenderness, creating an intimate, sensory experience that observes how small gestures reconfigure relationships.

Drawing on the poetry of Alda Merini, this new creation by Cie Linga brings seven performers and dedicated collaborators together in a politically charged, poetic ensemble. The piece explores collective choreography as a living, shifting organism: bodies merge, diverge and form ever-changing configurations that reveal individual singularities within a shared consciousness. Through intimate physical connections and circulating emotions, the company imagines diversity as a source of collective richness and a hopeful vision of communal joy.

Directed by Jean Bellorini in collaboration with Yang Hua Theatre, this staging reimagines Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s Le Petit Prince with the title character portrayed by a Chinese actor.

The staging mixes song, poetry and intimate theatricality, exploring friendship and human connection.
