As part of Festival Les Créatives, Louisadonna brings a pop set that is both bright and incisive. Her songs pair colourful melodies with sharp feminist lyrics, blending intimacy, anger and wit. Artist, activist and psychologist working with women and children who have survived violence, she turns personal commitment into music that exposes stereotypes and the mechanisms of patriarchy. The concert originally announced for Girl Group has been cancelled.
Adapted freely from Maryse Condé and Emily Brontë, this theatrical adaptation follows Razyé and Cathy across three generations in a post-emancipation Guadeloupe. Directed by Anne Monfort, the production probes themes of racism, passion, pride, social violence, vengeance and fatalism through a visceral, rhythmic staging. The ensemble uses sparse, evocative design and intense physical interplay to reveal how inherited trauma shapes desire and retribution.

Told as a solo performance, this piece follows a woman as she remembers the films that shaped her life and blurs the line between cinema and memory. Through references to science-fiction sagas and cinematic archetypes — the woman-soldier, the survivor, the reluctant mother — the show probes identity, fear of change and the ways stories migrate from screen to skin. Sparse staging and intimate narration create a haunting, introspective atmosphere.

Mobula is an ode to the movement of water, a dance piece that reflects humanity’s relationship with the ocean. Directed by Jean‑Camille Goimard and performed by Pierre Theoleyre, Denis Terrasse and Anna Martin‑François, the choreography channels aquatic energy: floating beneath the surface, being tossed by waves, confronting the storm. Images are projected across a sail-like structure while Anne Martin appears as a dancer in the film, and narratives from people who live with the sea punctuate the work.
Xavier Guelfi presents an intimate solo performance in which he embodies a clumsy, naive coach of happiness. Raised near Onex and known for film and stage roles, Guelfi greets the audience from a kitchen transformed into a timeless cocoon. With poetic physicality and Arlequin-like charm, he mixes gentle humour and existential reflection, inviting the public to dream and to reclaim faith in humanity. A suspended, comforting utopia that soothes and amuses.

Directed by Jean Bellorini in collaboration with Yang Hua Theatre, this staging reimagines Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s Le Petit Prince with the title character portrayed by a Chinese actor. The production blends French and Mandarin dialogue with live music by singers from China’s independent scene. Actors François Deblock and Marc Plas perform alongside a cast that shifts between a childlike prince, an ancient reciter of poems and fantastical cosmic inhabitants. The staging mixes song, poetry and intimate theatricality, exploring friendship and human connection.
