An introspective monologue for multiple voices, La Table d’Amour is a poetic theatrical immersion inspired by a Tinos island tradition. Performed by Manon Krüttli and Jeanne De Mont, the piece follows Manon Krüttli’s journey between autobiography, fiction and dreamlike reverie. It probes questions of living together, reconciliation and the role of conviviality as an artistic gesture, creating an intimate, sensory staging that favors lyricism and shared presence.

15 September – 11 October

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.

In French.

Their latest material weaves Oriental melodic threads into contemporary jazz, balancing lyrical soloing with propulsive grooves and atmospheric textures. Presented with the support of JazzContreBand.

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.

1 – 2 October

After their grandmother’s death, three sisters, separated by life and years, meet in the attic of the family home. The house—large and dusty, with creaking floorboards and faded wallpaper—becomes a stage for recollection. The story follows Luce, Emmanuelle and Emée, with Denise present in the background; objects, yellowed photographs and the smell of old books trigger memories. Performed by Cécile Adèle Basset, Alice Berlamont and Victoria Duquesne, the piece explores memory, loss and the intimate archaeology of domestic life.

In French.
