Og Karpet First Date

Produced by Maress and COXOG Karpet, Og Karpet First Date assembles a charged lineup: 26Keuss, Trafalgar, Awuni, McMaams and Mohciss. The performance moves between US and French R&B, rap, Afro rhythms and Shatta energy, blending polished grooves with raw street intensity. Tight vocal exchanges, layered production and call-and-response sequences foreground communal dance and a nocturnal, electric atmosphere. The staging favours close interaction and club-oriented dynamics.

Written and directed by Raphaëlle Farman, this musical comedy follows six eccentric lottery winners whose most improbable dreams suddenly come within reach. With the charismatic show host Macha and the scheming production director Florence, the ensemble embarks on escapades that leap from Arthurian chivalry to the surface of the moon. A troupe of spirited performers animates comic tableaux, while playful staging, brisk choreography and bursts of onstage magic create an exuberant, nostalgic atmosphere that celebrates imagination and folly.

Staging privileges rhythm and gesture, creating a warm, bittersweet atmosphere that observes the world through playful yet clear‑eyed humour.

Known for his iconic rock career, Zappa presents an experimental and psychedelic work that blends opera, rock, and contemporary classical music. “200 Motels” offers a chaotic and extravagant journey across the United States, mirroring the wild lives of Zappa and the Mothers of Invention.

Follow Zuza, a bold little girl whose everyday moments swell into grand adventures: she eats while flying, grows larger than the planet when angry, and finds a loyal crocodile companion. The itinerant show mixes short tales and a parade using giant, human-size and miniature puppets, low-tech screen effects and masked dance. Playful and richly imagined, it invites families to move with the story and share moments of wonder and emotion.

Fiona G. brings a razor-sharp solo hour of dark, observational stand-up that mixes Swiss deadpan with Parisian stage instincts. Fluent in several languages and armed with a precise sarcasm, she navigates subjects from everyday rituals to taboo topics with a playful cruelty and agile improvisation. The piece is a work-in-progress that plays with ego, irony and timing, offering unpredictable moments that pivot between biting malice and sudden tenderness.
