FURTHER AFIELD
Directed by Jean‑François Sivadier, this blistering staging of Thomas Bernhard’s Maître dissects a privileged couple’s corrosive vanity and the ideological masks that sustain them. The production balances bitter comedy and dark drama, driven by a terse, language-centred aesthetic and an intense ensemble: Nicolas Bouchaud, Norah Krief, Frédéric Noaille, Juliette Bialek and Valérie de Champchesnel. The staging foregrounds verbal rhythm and theatrical momentum to unsettle and provoke reflection.

Ayumi Tanaka (piano), Thomas Morgan (double bass) and Thomas Strønen (drums) form a trio of distinct voices united by sensitivity and an intuitive musical rapport. They compose in the moment, weaving music that is at once lyrical and abstract—serene yet charged with tension. Their collaborative language is built on attentive listening and shared instinct, producing subtle, intimate performances in which every note and pause counts. For their debut on ECM the trio offers delicate, exploratory dialogue that unfurls gently.
Chronicle of a fleeting liaison, this intimate theatrical piece examines the fragile architecture of desire and memory. Through concentrated scenes, the company maps the emotional aftershocks of a brief relationship, shifting between candid dialogue and charged silences. Lighting and sparse staging heighten moments of intimacy, while an attentive ensemble navigates tonal shifts from tenderness to unease. The production favors close observation and emotional clarity, inviting reflection on attachment and the traces left behind.

Directed by Françoise Courvoisier, this production of Anton Chekhov’s Oncle Vania — translated by Arthur Adamov — assembles a committed ensemble (Vincent Bonillo, Pierre Dubey, Bérangère Mastrangelo, Patricia Mollet-Mercier, Clarisse Morizot, Pierre Omer, Juliana Samarine, Edmond Vuilloud) to explore love, the passage of time and illusions lost. The staging, created with scenographer Gilbert Maire and painter André Kasper, uses Rinaldo Del Boca’s lighting, Pierre Omer’s music and Nicolas Le Roy’s sound to evoke both the comedy and the terrifying humanity of Chekhov.

With razor-sharp wit and neon-pink hair, comedian Sarah Mottet questions whether looking woke and queer is enough to be a good person. This debut solo show mixes personal stories, quick improvisation and pointed social satire to include everyone — except cyclists and property managers. Touring stages from Romandie to Quebec, Mottet blends warm vulnerability and biting humour to turn identity politics into intimate, laugh-out-loud reflections.
