The piece blends investigative structure with intimate tableaux, punctuated by moments of dark humour and sustained suspense. Lighting and sound sculpt shifting moods while actors move the audience into the isolated night of the crime, creating a tense, participatory theatrical experience.
Yacine Nemra offers an intimate solo show that turns personal crisis into comic material.

Mixing stand‑up and theatrical storytelling, the piece balances dark honesty and hopeful absurdity, inviting laughter as a form of survival. Raw, humane and sharply scripted, the performance crafts a portrait of resilience.

Hansel and Gretel is a playful, musical retelling of the Grimm tale by Collectif Ubique. With three chairs and eight instruments — theorbo, lute, musical saw, violin, clarinet and percussion — a trio of actor-musicians rapidly change roles and instruments in inventive, joyful turns. Original compositions, sung and chanted texts and physical theatre conjure a poetic, slightly mad world where the witch and the gingerbread house are freshly reimagined for young audiences.
In French. Kids ages 6 and up.
