Cie C2C – SEX & CHAIR

Booking Required

Sex & Chair explores the intimate, often invisible realities of disabled people’s love and sexuality through a tender, politically engaged performance. Choreographer Caroline de Cornière works with performers Avril Nyx and Niels Vossenberg to investigate desire’s fluidity, bodily autonomy and the injustices and taboos surrounding pleasure. The piece blends movement, close presence and poetic staging to open empathetic encounters and challenge assumptions about vulnerability and agency.

15 September – 11 October

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. The piece skewers selfishness with sharp humour and precise staging, combining intimate realism and heightened farce to probe human smallness and the desperate desire for solitude.

24 September – 7 October

Directed and performed by Eve Aouizerate, Amours subversives stages a wry, intimate interrogation of gender and desire. With performers Mathilde Lyon and Dylan Poletti, the piece pivots on a provocative premise — a young woman’s decision to abandon a nascent career for the tradwife ideal — and unfolds as a personal theatrical essay on power, intimacy and the contradictions of femininity in 2026. Sparse staging and candid narration create a fierce, tender atmosphere.

22 September – 29 November

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.

25 September – 18 October

For his final production as a theatre director, Jean Liermier revisits Tennessee Williams’s autobiographical classic about memory, longing and family. Set in the 1930s American South, the staging gathers a company around Laura, here embodied by Aurélia Thierrée, with Cyprien Colombo, David Gobet and Clotilde Mollet completing the ensemble. Liermier’s direction emphasises fragile interiors and poetic movement, offering a liberating, weightless atmosphere that balances tenderness and uneasy nostalgia.

The Arkhè quintet — Edouard Liechti, Nicolas Jéquier, Patrick Leyvraz, Arthur Guignard and Pascal Desarzens — reunites to perform Franz Schubert’s String Quintet, a monumental masterpiece of chamber music. Their seasoned ensemble playing highlights the work’s lyrical elegance, profound introspection and dramatic contrasts, bringing warmth, refined blend and emotional intensity to the score. Expect a rich, intimate sound world that unfolds from delicate lyricism to powerful climaxes.

Sunday 27 September, 09:00
