Directed by Guy Cassiers and starring Valérie Dréville, this stage adaptation of Camille de Toledo’s novel blends documentary and fiction. Through photographs, letters and manuscripts, the performance traces a family’s history across generations as a man seeks rebirth amid loss. The staging mixes intimate memory, myth and collective history with a restrained visual language and careful dramaturgy, inviting a delicate, atmospheric encounter with grief, identity and transmission.

Directed by Eléonore Bonah and staged by scenographer Maria Clara Castioni, CHRÜSIMÜSI transforms Adelheid Duvanel’s terse, poetic fragments into a multilingual theatrical tapestry. Performers Eléonore Bonah and Maria Clara Castioni inhabit hypersensitive, marginal characters whose everyday gestures oscillate between absurdity and tenderness. Sparse staging and a careful interplay of voice and silence highlight Duvanel’s Kafkaesque intimacy, while language shifts (French, German, Italian) create a fragile, dreamlike atmosphere that balances humour and quiet despair, celebrating stubborn acts of resistance.
Directed by Gabriel Sparti, Menace Chorale follows an amateur town choir drawn into a tightening ideological mechanism under a charismatic new conductor. The piece uses vocal textures and staged rehearsals to contrast luminous harmonies with the unsettling meanings behind their repertoire, sketching a miniature society where desire, ambition and collective pressure calcify into authoritarian dynamics. Through subtle disruptions, layered readings and meticulous sound and lighting textures, the production feels at once funny, eerie and incisively political.

Guihome returns with a finely observed one‑man show that traces the passage from childhood to adulthood through a gallery of new characters and a naturalistic staging.
