Célia Pelluet, quantum physicist, aerospace engineer, radio columnist and comedian, performs her first solo show blending sharp stand-up, songs and lyrical scientific storytelling. The piece moves between gravity and lightness, folding personal anecdotes and playful explanations of scientific ideas into reflections on doubt, relationships and the pressure to pick a single path. Intimate and witty, the performance celebrates the beauty of science while embracing uncertainty and the notion that even particles can hesitate.

One Thing After Another

Performances

Théâtre de l'Orangerie

Join a playful builder who improvises a strange home in a garden. With brave, clever ropes and found objects she moves from one idea to the next, sometimes wild, sometimes stubborn, slowly assembling a surprising structure. Children will watch materials cooperate or resist, feel the rhythm of making, and wonder whether everything will collapse or turn into accidental genius. A lively, physical performance that celebrates imagination, trial and joyful experimentation.

In French. Ages 6 and up.

Caustic Sunsets is an intense, intimate performance exploring heat, decay and late-day tension through layered sound and stark visual choreography. Sparse staging and abrasive sonic textures create a slow-burning atmosphere where silence and sudden crescendos converse. The work focuses on physicality, shadow and the poetics of decline, inviting the audience into a concentrated sensory experience that lingers beyond the lights.
