Created by the company Shōnen, Vision brings together four performers who are dancers, singers, musicians and actors, some with varying degrees of visual impairment. The piece proposes an inclusive stage language that relies on sound, touch and mutual support to reshape how space is shared between performers and audience. Through sensitive, sensory staging and subtle choreography, the work invites spectators to shift perspective and perception without relying on sight.

After 463 performances of his first show, available on YouTube, Jason Brokerss — one of the sharpest minds in stand-up comedy today — is back on stage. “If I had seen this poster and this new show 10 years ago… I would have said, ‘Who is this man? What kind of life is this?’ Apparently, that man is me, and that’s my life. I have to tell you about it!”

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.

Directed by Marie-José Malis, Retour au pays revisits Hugo von Hofmannsthal’s letters through a spare, lucid staging. Performers Alexandra Tiedemann and Juan Crespillo inhabit the returning merchant’s disorientation, while Aurélia Ansermet provides live music and sound. Bernard Héritier’s scenography and Jessy Ducatillon’s lighting shape moments of visual surprise, most poignantly a Van Gogh encounter that restores belief in the world. The piece refuses facile answers, offering theatrical lucidity and an austere emotional clarity.

Autothérapie is a solo dance work that unfolds as a choreographic form of introspection. Fragmented sessions weave geography of memory, trauma and cultural references to explore Haiti, personal history and intergenerational memory. The piece favors intimate, physical staging and concentrated dramaturgy, inviting viewers into an embodied investigation of identity, inherited narratives and resilience. Rawness and poetic movement alternate, producing a dense emotional atmosphere that lingers beyond the performance.
Presented within the Emerentia festival, this evening gathers three original short dance pieces by Shereya, Joce and Uma. Inspired by literary short stories, the program uses compact narrative forms to probe storytelling through movement, confronting the codes and bodies of institutional contemporary dance. Each 30-minute piece shifts tone and atmosphere, alternating intimate gestures and bold choreographic risk to explore memory, desire and afterlives of the party. The work favours concentrated dramaturgy and physical immediacy.
Antoine Magyar presents his first solo show, an intimate and inventive performance that probes what it means to live with oneself. Mixing sharp humour and quiet vulnerability, the piece stages an intrusive inner voice, candid therapists and an IKEA-style manual used to assemble a tailor-made relationship. Playful stagecraft and precise comic timing shift between reflection and laugh-out-loud moments, offering both tenderness and unsettling insight.
