Thursday 28 January, 20:00

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.

Saturday 27 February, 20:00

Created and directed by Frédéric Ferrer and performed with Hélène Schwartz, this investigative theatrical piece explores the surprising centrality of the pea. Combining live research, playful staging and scientific curiosity, the show interrogates genomics, agricultural politics, soil life and the economic imaginaries tied to a tiny green organism. Poetic observations and comic detours consider how a small plant can reflect human choices and futures. Produced by the company Vertical Détour.

Thursday 11 March, 20:00

Led by guitarist and composer Dominique Cravic, Les Primitifs du Futur revive a spirited world-musettes aesthetic that blends swing, waltz and retro accents with roaming, playful inspirations. Active since the mid-1980s, the ensemble frames humour and nostalgia within ever-renewed tradition. Their latest album, Les Crimes du musette (May 2026), continues this line and features the unmistakable illustrations of Robert Crumb. On stage the group favours convivial rhythms and surprises; guests including Sanseverino are expected to enrich the evening.
