Hell.

Hell. is an intimate stage investigation in which a woman rediscovers a hard drive filled with archives of her online past. As she scrolls, the computer becomes a living character — a distorted mirror and autonomous system that processes her data and attempts, imperfectly, to reconstruct her. The piece unfolds as non-linear memory tableaux where time loops and fragments, traversing real pain, attempts at repair, collapse and rebuilding, and transforms memory into a living gesture of mourning and love.

Created by Manon Bril and Etienne Lautrette and directed by Théo Comby Lemaitre, this hybrid lecture-performance blends scholarly rigour with theatrical wit. Historian Manon Bril guides the audience through surprising episodes of human history, overturning assumptions with a sharp, offbeat humour and playful staging.

27 October – 15 November

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. The program explores emergent writing and stage practices— from plateau-based text to pieces rooted in the real—offering layered, often indisciplinary approaches that question formats and invent languages for a transforming world. Accompanying meetings and discussions extend the works and open insight into creative processes.

A comic lecture-show that makes the DISC method accessible through four colourful characters: Roger (the Dominant), Justine (the Influential), Virginie (the Stable) and Bernard (the Conscientious). Blending theatre and practical pedagogy, the performance uses humour and concrete tools to illuminate behavioural styles and improve interpersonal and professional communication. Adaptable for corporate conferences or public audiences, it balances lively sketches with clear takeaways to help participants recognise their patterns and communicate more effectively.

27 – 31 October

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.

28 – 31 October

Centred on Sami Bernath’s embodied memories, this performance mixes Swiss popular songs, rhythmic gestures and the traditional Löffelä spoon percussion to transform everyday motions into sound. Through repetition, deformation and rhythmic saturation, familiar motifs become permeable, revealing buried and repressed memories beneath the Swiss mountains. The staging is intimate and ritualistic, alternating fragile vocal fragments and percussive textures to probe memory and collective inheritance.
