Dafné Kritharas presents a luminous concert journey built around her album Prayer & Sin. The singer unveils original songs in Greek and French, blending Middle Eastern modal colours, jazz phrasing and classical textures touched by an uncanny electronic pulse. Her voice moves between joyous dances and sublime laments, shaping vast, consoling landscapes of feeling. On stage she crafts an intimate yet expansive musical world, equal parts ancient tradition and free, personal invention. Presented in collaboration with the JazzContreBand festival.
Tiphanie Bovay-Klameth returns with a sharply funny, deeply human solo performance in which she embodies a gallery of eccentric characters to sketch a fragment of contemporary life. Mixing moments of creative process and everyday intimacy, the piece follows a local group struggling to build a shared work while everything around them unravels. Trained at La Manufacture, Bovay‑Klameth draws on ensemble practice, improvisation and character writing; she leads a vigorous stage language that is at once comic, touching and humane.

Mentir lo Mínimo by Cie Alta Gama follows the journey of three bodies — a woman, a man and a bicycle — stripped down to the essentials: the body itself. Performers Amanda and Alejo create daring partnering, acrobatics and bicycle voltiges to explore self-relationship, identity and intimacy. Blending circus, theatre and live music within a minimalist aesthetic, the piece treats physicality with subtlety and celebration, offering a poetic, tactile reflection on presence.
Jérôme Rouger presents a theatrical conference that blends spectacle and humour to examine the actor–spectator relationship and the influence of the audience on a performance’s quality. What began as a thirty‑minute piece has grown into a standalone creation: Rouger uses sharp observation, playful timing and immediate exchange with attendees to offer witty, eloquent guidance on presence, attention and behaviour in the theatre. The performance alternates reflection and live demonstration, prompting fresh awareness of collective dynamics.

Created and performed by Gentiane Pierre and Noémie Lamour with their company Mise à Feu, Diva Syndicat surveys a millennium of women’s music from Hildegarde of Bingen to contemporary popular voices. The theatrical musical act mixes burlesque humour, character-driven staging and musical reinterpretation as the duo inhabits forgotten composers and performers. Combining theatrical invention, vivid costumes and playful choreography, the show offers an agile, sensual and political celebration that restores the presence of women in Western musical heritage.
