Directed by Françoise Courvoisier, this production of Anton Chekhov’s Oncle Vania — translated by Arthur Adamov — assembles a committed ensemble (Vincent Bonillo, Pierre Dubey, Bérangère Mastrangelo, Patricia Mollet-Mercier, Clarisse Morizot, Pierre Omer, Juliana Samarine, Edmond Vuilloud) to explore love, the passage of time and illusions lost. The staging, created with scenographer Gilbert Maire and painter André Kasper, uses Rinaldo Del Boca’s lighting, Pierre Omer’s music and Nicolas Le Roy’s sound to evoke both the comedy and the terrifying humanity of Chekhov.

Musiques Interdites recreates the charged atmosphere of a Weimar-era cabaret where humour, poetry and music become acts of resistance. Hosted by Lucile Richardot and Éléonore Pancrazi, the evening revives works banned under Nazi rule—jazz, pieces by Jewish and politically persecuted composers—and blends songs, instrumental numbers and recomposed arrangements. 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.
