Directed by Nathalie Cuenet and written by Valérie Poirier, Dire adieu is performed by Compagnie Volodia. The piece stages fragmented conversations between a daughter and her mother, probing a quest for recognition and the fragile possibility of reconciliation.

Star Thérapie is a wild, off-kilter musical comedy from the Chrysalide Academy company that turns celebrity worship into absurd obsession. On stage, the affable but unorthodox Professor Westley treats a parade of flamboyant patients whose fixations spiral into surreal, laugh-out-loud situations. The show blends catchy songs, physical comedy and fast-paced theatrical invention to create a delirious, high-energy evening that skewers fandom while celebrating performance and spectacle.

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.
