Partition — Spiral Training

Booking Required

FURTHER AFIELD

Choreographed by Laura Lamy and Tristan Robilliard, Partition unfolds through the spiral training technique they teach across Europe. Rooted in spinal rotation, relation to the floor and gravity, and coordinated interaction with partners, space and rhythm, the piece explores the body’s power and vulnerability. Performed by five dancers (casting ongoing), with music by Thomas Trichet and lighting by Nicolas Galland. Produced by Resodancer Company in coproduction with Théâtre François Ponsard and La Manufacture, Aurillac.

Toutes les femmes sont des aliens

Performances

Théâtre du Grütli

Told as a solo performance, this piece follows a woman as she remembers the films that shaped her life and blurs the line between cinema and memory. Through references to science-fiction sagas and cinematic archetypes — the woman-soldier, the survivor, the reluctant mother — the show probes identity, fear of change and the ways stories migrate from screen to skin. Sparse staging and intimate narration create a haunting, introspective atmosphere.

The show mixes clear popular-science explanation, theatrical images and comic timing to reveal that nothing has “always been like this”.

Je ne suis pas Johnny

Théâtre Alchimic

Je ne suis pas Johnny is a theatrical exploration of identity, memory and the weight of cultural myth.

Sparse lighting and a fluid rhythm shape an intense, close-up experience, where silence and gesture reveal hidden tensions and unexpected tenderness.
