The programme is virtuosic and festive, rooted in collective joy and sharing, staged with careful mise-en-scène.

Directed by Rémi Dufay, D’amour et d’eau fraîche is a stage adventure that celebrates movement, friendship and the unforeseen.

Nos voisins artificiels stages a tense, intimate theatrical exploration of human relationships in the age of technology. A focused ensemble navigates shifting boundaries between empathy and estrangement through precise physicality, fragmented dialogue and luminous stagecraft. The piece blends dark humour with moments of quiet vulnerability, relying on carefully designed lighting and minimalist sets to heighten emotional textures. Audience members are invited to witness ambiguous intimacy and the uncanny rhythms of contemporary coexistence.

For his final production as a theatre director, Jean Liermier revisits Tennessee Williams’s autobiographical classic about memory, longing and family. Set in the 1930s American South, the staging gathers a company around Laura, here embodied by Aurélia Thierrée, with Cyprien Colombo, David Gobet and Clotilde Mollet completing the ensemble. Liermier’s direction emphasises fragile interiors and poetic movement, offering a liberating, weightless atmosphere that balances tenderness and uneasy nostalgia.
