Ordalie

FURTHER AFIELD

Ordalie, directed by Nicolas Chapoulier and presented by La Compagnie Les 3 points de suspension, explores adolescence through voices collected in a high school. Anonymous interviews with pupils, teachers, the headmistress, CPE and a psychologist are captured, transformed and performed by four actors in a staging where identities shift and ages blur. The piece moves between intimacy and otherness, negotiating discomfort with a tone that is at once comic, tender and fragile.

Two short plays by Anton Chekhov staged by Tibor Ockenfels and Flavie Tapparel, presented as compact dramatic machines where romantic comedy masks escalating confrontations between desire, affection and material interest. Performances rely on precise physical timing, terse exchanges and a lean, playful design to reveal the simmering violence behind courtship rituals. The three actors — Estelle Bridet, Matteo Prandi and Raphaël Vachoux — inhabit heightened character types that shift between farce and darker comic truth, creating a sharply observed, kinetic evening.

A darkly comic solo play about obsession and domestic chaos. When Michel finds a rare record he has long sought, he prepares a perfect hour to listen — but family, neighbours and a drip that will wreck the disc steadily intrude.
