La Misère du Monde

Directed by Orélie Fuchs, this stage adaptation of Pierre Bourdieu’s La Misère du monde gathers testimonies about daily life, work, unemployment and social judgment. Four performers—Tan Chen, Claire Deutsch, Vincent Fontannaz and Davide-Christelle Sanvee—give voice to experiences of precarity in a staging that interrogates the social mechanisms producing suffering. A live, transformed scenography and intimate ensemble work create a tactile, humane atmosphere that foregrounds testimony and collective memory.

Vagalumes opens the evening with an intimate South American‑infused jazz set, led by Sylvie Klijn (voice), Paul Gonzalez (guitar, maracas) and Samuel Boutros (percussion). Their repertoire blends original pieces, Spanish and Portuguese songs and a poetic Latin‑jazz atmosphere evoking Fernando Pessoa and Pablo Neruda. The second set features Baiju Bhatt & Red Sun — Baiju Bhatt (violin), Valentin Conus (tenor sax), Mark Priore (piano), Blaise Hommage (double bass) and Paul Berne (drums, percussion) — exploring a daring fusion of jazz‑rock, Indian traditions and contemporary textures.

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.

30 – 31 October

Directed and performed by Vincent Babel and Alexandre Diakoff, À l’ombre de Calvin blends text, music and film to retrace key moments and hidden facets of John Calvin’s life. Bruno Miquel acts as narrator while Silvia Fabiani contributes evocative video, and a children’s choir prepared by Emmanuel Meliz joins the cathedral choir and instrumental ensemble under Florence Kraft’s direction. The staging balances historical reflection and poetic imagery to engage audiences of all ages.

16 October – 31 October

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.

30 October – 14 November

Four performers embody testimonies from different generations in Sept, situated at the crossroads of dance and film. Between intimate confidences and tender tableaux, the piece examines how age shapes us and stages a delicate exploration of what growing older means, revealing a shared humanity. The staging shifts between projected images and live bodies, weaving visual and physical layers to create an experience that is both poetic and unsettling.

30 October – 1 November

Novarina’s text is staged as a pulsating, jubilant language for seated singers: an archipelago of acts and unresolved gestures. Cascades of duos, liturgies of the circus, laments, spoken landscapes and fragmentary songs assemble into a corrosive poetic satire that probes the sonic, visual, semantic and rhythmic virtualities of speech. The piece interrogates political discourse, the press and the social image of man while privileging theatrical sound and corporeal invention. Produced by Studio d’Action Théâtrale as part of its 40th anniversary.
