Nadim: Fraicheur de vivre

Laughter, rhythm, pleasure… life itself! Nadim has run 11 businesses in 11 years, faced 3 labor court cases, and fled Lebanon at age 2, but that’s not necessarily what he talks about on stage. Unpredictable and spontaneous, he lets himself be guided by the moment and the energy of his audience. His show, without a fixed plot, blends realism, absurdity, and surrealism with lightness and creativity. With boundless energy, inspired improvisations, and a sharp wit, he sweeps you away into a joyful and delirious interlude. Every night can be different, for an experience that’s always surprising and hilarious.

Choreographed by Saša Asentić, Le Sacre du printemps is a reimagined Stravinsky landmark performed by the inclusive company Per.Art.

Shyle Zalewski invites audiences into a two-part evening combining zine culture and an intimate concert. The first part presents a meeting and signing of self-published fanzines, foregrounding handwritten narratives and the DIY community around the artist. Later, under the alter ego edam edam, Zalewski offers a live set that blends fragile melodies and lo-fi textures, shifting the room from quiet reflection to charged immediacy. The night foregrounds intimacy, creative exchange, and the blurred line between reading and song.

8 – 9 September

Choreographed by Christos Papadopoulos, My Fierce Ignorant Step gathers ten bodies whose mounting breath becomes the show’s engine. The piece translates performers’ respiration into kinetic waves and layered soundscapes, dialoguing with the contemporary music of Mikis Theodorakis. Drawing on the choral pulse of ancient tragedy, the work collapses collective Hellenic memory into intimate reveries — the impulse of beginnings, the buoyancy of first encounters and the spontaneous spark of early laughter. The staging is physical, precise and visceral.

8 – 10 September
