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.

Sneers, an Italian duo led by Greta Blaankart (electric guitar, vocals) and Leonardo O. Stefenelli (drums), delivers an intense, melancholic odyssey through dark/occult rock. Their new record, (Don’t Quit Before) The Miracle, produced by Jamie Stewart (Xiu Xiu) and released on God Unknown Records, frames a possessed, atmospheric soundscape. The set is laced with ritualistic rhythms, haunting melodies and moments of raw catharsis, complemented by a vinyl passage from NuRe OnnA and Fuxy Lady.

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.
