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.

In French.

29 September – 3 October

Step into a darkly comic world of secrets, suspicion and gallows humour in Martin McDonagh’s Olivier Award-winning *Hangmen*. As England abolishes hanging, Harry Wade—the country’s second-best hangman—finds himself facing an unexpected visitor and a night that takes a very sinister turn. Directed by John Ward.

Opening Night guests are invited to join the cast and crew for a glass of bubbly after the show!

In English.

24 September – 4 October

Le Truc sur le feu is a playful, offbeat fable that examines how the domestication of fire shaped human life. Written by Romane Nicolas, the piece stages two Paleolithic clans who wonder, clash and ignite as puppets by the Kokoschka tradition bring grotesque situations to life. With incisive humour and sharp theatricality, the show confronts ideas of progress, individuality versus community, animality and civilisation, offering a vividly staged reflection on the choices that set societies alight.

In French.

3 October – 15 January

An immersive, interactive courtroom drama that casts the audience as jurors in the high-stakes heist of Lana Tonneti’s 20-million‑dollar necklace. Participants analyse testimony, inspect evidence and hunt for inconsistencies as the ensemble unfolds a tense, cinematic narrative. The staging blends close-up theatricality with investigative gameplay, creating an intense, suspenseful atmosphere where moral doubt and collective decision-making are central. Audience choices shape the outcome, making each performance urgent and unpredictable.

In French.

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.

In French.

Saturday 3 October, 20:00

La Colonie de Vacances gathers members of Electric Electric, Marvin, Pneu and Papier Tigre into a sprawling, 18‑musician ensemble that deploys a quadriphonic sound system placing the audience at the heart of four stages. Rooted in noise-rock experimentation, the collective explores polyrhythms, trance-like grooves and uncanny harmonies, crafting enveloping sonic architectures that shift perspective and intensity. This farewell project channels improvisation and compositional rigor, inviting deep, multi-layered listening and a theatrical collapse of performer–audience boundaries.
