Ilyes Mela

“Couleur 8” explores the idea of existing at the margins: the place from which one sees no one and is not seen. Without familiar reference points or comparisons, the piece invites spectators to impose their own rhythm and to question the strength of marginality. Sparse staging and attentive pacing create an intimate, contemplative atmosphere where movement, silence and timing shape perception and unsettle expectations.

Claudine (j’aime pas l’bonheur) is a re-creation by Marjolaine Minot that probes the ambivalence of happiness through intimate theatrical language. The piece blends restrained physicality and lyrical monologue to map memory, longing and domestic disquiet. Minimal scenic devices and attentive sound design carve spaces of emotion, while a small ensemble negotiates shifts between humour and melancholy. The production favours fragile gestures and precise rhythms to evoke an uneasy, poetic atmosphere.

This performance investigates vocal plasticity, improvisation, and emotional communication, frequently in collaboration with museums and contemporary art spaces. Combining musical and choreographic improvisation, it questions the dominant frameworks and hierarchies embedded in language.

27 May – 25 June

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.

Directed by Michele Millner and devised collectively by Théâtre Spirale’s Atelier 1, Three Queens examines feminine violence and power through fragments of Macbeth, The Seagull, The Caucasian Chalk Circle and new texts by participants.

The piece is intimate, political and unsettling, mixing classical echoes and contemporary voices.

Jeremy Ratib performs material from his album Backlot Country, a hazy window onto an adolescence in Los Angeles where Halloween spectres, bushfires that redden Pacific sunsets and empty pools echo post‑Y2K nostalgia amid kickflip cadences. Rooted in folk songwriting, the music unfolds as homemade psychedelic country‑rock emo, intimate and evocative. Ratib is joined by Valentin Liechti (drums, vocals), Robin Girod (bass, guitar, vocals), Flavie Ndam (saxophone, vocals), Lorraine Dinkel (guitar, vocals) and Lucas Churet (sound).
