Choreographed by Kader Attou, Le Murmure des Songes is a poetic hip‑hop dance piece for young audiences. Drawing on childhood memories, Attou stages a dreamlike bestiary where four performers move with grace and humour among chimera, plants and playful animals. The work blends contemporary and classical influences, favouring sensitive, intimate choreography over virtuosic display. It invites children and adults to reconnect with imagination and the tender games of early life.

Bounce and Stuck present a double evening exploring contemporary hip hop and clubbing aesthetics. Sons of Wind’s Bounce collective uses rebound as a guiding motif, reuniting music and hip hop dance in a joyful return to the culture’s roots. In Stuck, choreographer Mounia Nassangar stages her first choreography, blending whacking technique with a cinematic atmosphere as five dancers probe how movement takes over when language falls short.

Directed by Julia Vidit, this bracing staging revisits Pierre Corneille’s Le Menteur as a baroque comedy where appearances rule. Dramaturge Guillaume Cayet shapes a fluid text that slips between the seventeenth century and today, while a versatile ensemble, including Joris Avodo, Marion Duphil, Mégane Ferrat and Adil Laboudi, performs a kaleidoscope of duplicity, desire and social manners. A mirrored set amplifies the play’s games of deception and theatricality.

Directed by Coline Garcia, Hyperboles brings circus into the urban world of skateboarding through the feminist lens of company SCoM. Performers — circus artists and skaters from diverse backgrounds — explore gestures, bodies and social narratives while a mobile set shifts between apparatus and modular skate features. Athletic feats are reframed as social inquiry, drawing new lines of play, risk and encounter. The staging is physical, inventive and intimate, inviting reflection on women’s place in these cultures.
