Directed by Pauline Ribat, Je viens de là stages Charles Juliet’s autobiographical writing in a sensitive, intimate performance. Adapted from Lambeaux, the piece traces Juliet’s journey toward language and self-reconciliation, exploring inner life, memory and the redemptive power of writing. Luce Mouchel and Nicolas Gonzales embody the text with restrained intensity, creating a contemplative atmosphere that privileges voice and presence. Presented in the context of a mental health week, the production offers a poetic encounter with hope and recovery.

On their fifteenth album «Où va nous ?», forty years after Tutti Frutti, Les Wampas revisit high-energy punk-pop with a blend of weary reflection and sudden bursts of fury. Led by Didier, the band shifts from a temporary abattement to an urgent need to wake up and let off steam. The result is jubilant and cathartic: raw hooks, driving rhythms and sing-along choruses that invite movement. Pamela Pogo complements the evening with inventive, energetic pop.

Caravan Palace is a global pop phenomenon blending modern electronic production with vintage jazz and swing. Over two decades and five studio albums they have popularized a vibrant electro-swing sound. On this tour they revisit signature tracks and introduce new material, channeling the spirit of 1920s American revues with brass flourishes, jazz guitar and analog synth textures. The performance is choreographed and cinematic, combining exuberant arrangements with a contagious, dance-oriented energy.

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.

Bertrand Belin sculpts a deliberately wandering pop poised between rock and chanson, threaded with jazz and blues. On his latest album Watt he explores existential themes through poetic, mysterious and luminous writing. His crooner-like delivery and elegant harmonic language combine introspection with expansive, almost stellar arrangements, guiding the listener from intimate passages to wide sonic horizons. The concert offers an elegant, reflective musical voyage.
