Performed and directed by Andrea Jiménez, Casting Lear blends autofiction with Shakespeare’s text. Jiménez embodies Cordelia while inviting a different actor each evening to play Lear — a father imagined anew. The piece, staged as an audition or rehearsal, probes filial bonds, legacy and authorship, where memory and invention collide. Intimate and volatile, it investigates how antecedents haunt us and how one might invent a life that truly belongs to them.

Dreams Come True’s Dear Luigi, I Hate You stages a hybrid of fiction and documentary around a contemporary criminal case. Two actors embody fictional avatars of the victim’s widow and the accused and engage in a restorative-justice process observed step by step by Adèle Yon. The piece examines responsibility, trauma and the possibility of dialogue across deep social fractures, combining intimate performances and documentary fragments to probe ethics, memory and collective reckoning.

Created and directed by Marion Siéfert, Bunker imagines a dystopian near future where accelerated communications and climate collapse reshape human relations. In a France warmed by five degrees, a CEO of a large oil company lives recoiled in a luxury bunker with his daughter, whose growing silence becomes a powerful centrepiece. The piece probes the failure of language, contemporary fears and contradictions through sparse staging, intensified silence and intimate father–daughter rituals.

New choreographic creation by (LA)HORDE for the Ballet national de Marseille, Après Moi, le Déluge plunges into a critical moment of upheaval, oscillating between apprehension and the hope of a possible future. Twelve performers move within a monumental, evolving scenography while Pierre Aviat’s original score and the external perspective of Alain Damasio shape a tense, poetic atmosphere. The piece explores collective fragility, resilience and the choreography of transition.

Created by Marc Oosterhoff in collaboration with performer Owen Winship, The Smallest Things is a delicate stage creation that works within the constraints of theatrical space to reveal the unexpected. On an almost bare stage, two performers construct the material of a show before our eyes: wonders of small feats and illusions performed openly. The piece explores the fragile poetry of making, creating and tinkering, blending theatrical invention with intimate presence and quiet astonishment.
