Patrice Thibaud and Philippe Leygnac form an unforgettable, multifaceted comic duo whose work blends pantomime, music, acrobatics and contortion. Conceived by Patrice Thibaud and staged by Susy Firth, Michèle Guigon and Thibaud, the show layers silent burlesque with original music by Leygnac, inventive lighting by Charlotte Dubail and costumes by Isabelle Beaudoin. Through poetic physical comedy evoking Tati and Chaplin, the performance explores sporting rituals and human foibles with irony and tenderness.
Christa is a sensory immersion imagining a new post‑conflict world through music, whispered voices and amplified objects. Conceived by Perrine Le Querrec and Ronan Courty, the piece enacts Christa — embodied by Delphy Murzeau — alongside vocal and instrumental textures by Linda Oláh. Pierre Favrez shapes the sound design and programming while Sarah Lebreton crafts lighting that heightens the hypnotic atmosphere. The work blends ASMR, sustained synth layers and ritualized vocal gestures to evoke a fragile, reconfigured harmony.
Actor and comedian Vincent Taloche offers a personal tribute to his idol Bourvil, blending gentle humour and song.

Jean‑Marc Closjans’s lighting and Christophe Loncour’s sound design create an intimate atmosphere that honors Bourvil’s humanity, warmth and tenderness. Suitable for all generations.

Marthe Keller and pianist Fabrizio Chiovetta present an intimate evening where literature and music converse with delicacy. Keller’s expressive recitation brings to life selected texts by Robert Walser, while Chiovetta’s interpretations of classical and romantic piano repertoire respond with subtlety. The program weaves lyrical prose and piano timbres to create a meditative, luminous atmosphere, inviting attentive listening and reflection.
Protocole V.A.L.E.N.T.I.N.A is a solo performance by Olivia Csiky-Trnka that explores the impulse to leave one’s origins and the vertigo of migration through the lens of space travel. Blending her intimate migratory testimony with collective space history and a naive enthusiasm for astrophysics, the piece recounts a month of enforced isolation following NASA-like mission protocols. Themes include self‑sufficiency, gender equality in extraterrestrial futures and the porous border between performance and transformation.

Text and performance by Lucas Vuilleumier, directed by Brigitte Rosset. This poignant, often comic solo explores a sentimental, devout narrator who constantly hums old songs and grows up by observing the women around him: bourgeois grandmothers, eccentric pastors, colorful aunts. Through delicate mimicry and intimate storytelling, the piece celebrates female expression, faith and longing, tracing the performer’s resemblance to his mother and his affectionate obsession with Céline Dion.
