Bunker

Created and directed by Marion Siéfert, Bunker imagines a dystopian near future where accelerated communications and climate collapse reshape human relations. In a France warmed by five degrees, a CEO of a large oil company lives recoiled in a luxury bunker with his daughter, whose growing silence becomes a powerful centrepiece. The piece probes the failure of language, contemporary fears and contradictions through sparse staging, intensified silence and intimate father–daughter rituals.

In French.

For its eighth edition, Le Fumigène brings together two contrasting improvisation formats shaped by student talent and quick-fire invention. On Friday, a high-energy match pits the LuDi Île-de-France against Laituge, with an unpredictable referee turning every scene into a playful challenge. On Saturday, Deus Ex Machina shifts into long-form storytelling, where improvisers build a full world from a staging concept imposed by the game master. It is an inventive, collaborative celebration of theatrical spontaneity and ensemble risk-taking.

Alain Della Maestra returns to the stage with his trio — trumpet (Alain Della Maestra), piano (Enrico Perelli) and drums (Luigi Lamarca) — for an evening of mellow jazz, bossa nova and Brazilian‑infused improvisation. Drawing on over fifty years of performing and a decade based in North America, he blends intimate swing, acoustic elegance and Latin colours. Expect warm, nuanced phrasing, close interplay and moments of spontaneous dialogue as the trio navigates standards, bossa‑novas and original improvisations with a lyrical touch.

6 – 7 November

Choreographed by Soraya Leila Emery, Coming Soon reimagines Ingres’s La Grande Odalisque through a playful, subversive lens. A single performer shifts between tableaux—seductive, mischievous, defiant—using grotesque exaggeration and theatrical excess to unsettle the orientalist gaze. Sparse objects, bold gestures and a keen sense of timing create alternating moments of intimacy and farce, opening space for new narratives of desire and agency. Created in collaboration with Emergentia and local partners, the work feels simultaneously imminent and elusive.

29 October – 8 November

Text by Erri De Luca. Directed by Barbara Baker and F‑X Fernandez‑Cavada, Impossible unfolds after a man falls from a steep trail in the Dolomites. Blending investigation, memory and love letters, the staging probes guilt, betrayal and political history as two former members of the same terrorist group confront a shared past. The production balances documentary clarity and poetic fragments, offering a tense, intimate reflection on vengeance and the echoes of the 20th century into the present.
