Perséphone is a sharp, intimate stand-up show by Mélanie Akkari in which she unpacks the contradictions of modern life through wit and self-aware provocation. She plays with topics both light and private, blending candour, playful bad faith and precise observation to build a warm, combative stage persona. The piece favours sincerity over moralising, inviting laughter and small rebellions rather than solutions.

Led by Vic Conegero and Du Pessoa, Benziê embodies a new generation of Brazilian artists who fluidly blend MPB, folk, reggae and acoustic pop.

Their delicate harmonies and infectious energy create intimate live moments in which contemporary Brazilian spirit meets a universal sensitivity.
Choreographed by Anan Atoyama, Atlas of Breaths probes migration and climate loss through participatory, real-time creation. Drawing on climate science, happening culture and the tea-ceremony philosophy, the work unfolds as ephemeral sculptures of bodies, objects, sound and words. Guided by Atoyama, audiences may observe or join, shaping a collective, ever-shifting piece. Collaborative contributions by Viva Sanchez, Jean-Charles François and Christophe Baert enrich the textures, producing an intimate, ritualized and exploratory atmosphere.

Based on sketches by Devos, Ribes, Sylvie Joly, Palmade and Martinez, this theatrical revue sketches the comic microcosm of apartment life. Short scenes expose domestic tensions — marital rows, overwhelmed parents, an unpredictable grandmother and holiday disasters — with sharp observational wit and precise farcical timing. The ensemble slips into vivid characters, combining spoken comedy and physical nuance to reveal tenderness beneath the chaos, offering a warm, incisive portrait of neighbours and family.

The piece unfolds as a dialogue between dance and visual arts, with live composition and sound by Michel Thouzeau, creating intimate, resonant atmospheres.
