Norma Jeane Baker de Troie

Directed by Maya Bösch, Norma Jeane Baker de Troie reimagines Anne Carson’s rewriting to overlap Sparta, New York and Hollywood in a fierce theatrical inquiry into power, domination and representation. Barbara Baker and Victor Roy embody multiple figures in a volatile, multilayered staging, propelled by incisive scenography and explosive physicality. Édouard Louis’s translation sharpens the text’s contemporary edge. An accessible summary in easy French is provided on the production page.

Festival du Soir marks a ten-year anniversary with a sprawling program across multiple themed nights, from electronic showcases to Latin‑infused celebrations and disco revival spectacles. Curated lineups bring artists such as Paul Kalkbrenner, GIMS, Gala, Boney M., O‑Zone, Mind Against and others into conversation, folding live concerts, club sets, fairground theatrics and immersive installations into one nocturnal tapestry. The production favours large‑scale scenographies, kinetic lighting and pulsating soundscapes that shift between euphoria and intimacy.

28 October – 9 April

Double Jeu is a sharp, playful improvisation show built around strategy, split-second choices and mutual misdirection. Each performer receives a secret mission and must weave it discreetly into the action, turning every scene into a live game of influence, bluff and comic escalation. The result is fast, unpredictable theatre where the ensemble’s timing, listening and inventiveness keep the audience guessing until the very last exchange.

Focus Jeune Création brings together a new generation of Romand artists over two weeks, presenting five bold and hybrid performances that blur theatre, performance and live art.

Accompanying meetings and discussions extend the works and open insight into creative processes.

Mystery Ensemble stages a theatrical concert that weaves Danny Elfman’s scores into the shadowy, whimsical worlds of Tim Burton. Through inventive arrangements and bold instrumental colours, the ensemble shifts between macabre textures and lyrical tenderness. Lighting and spatial acoustics are used as compositional elements, shaping intimacy and cinematic sweep. The production, developed with creative agency RED EVENTS, balances nostalgia with fresh sonic detail, inviting listeners to inhabit familiar melodies transformed into a live, atmospheric journey.

29 October – 8 November

Adapted freely from Maryse Condé and Emily Brontë, this theatrical adaptation follows Razyé and Cathy across three generations in a post-emancipation Guadeloupe. Directed by Anne Monfort, the production probes themes of racism, passion, pride, social violence, vengeance and fatalism through a visceral, rhythmic staging. The ensemble uses sparse, evocative design and intense physical interplay to reveal how inherited trauma shapes desire and retribution.
