Am Stram Gram’s creation Au diapason is a pop musical in song that seeks to enchant life. In a therapist’s office, Rémi, who speaks only in rhymes, meets Mila, who has lost her voice. Their encounter uses difference and imagination to probe intimate fears with humour, sparkle and Broadway‑style energy. The staging mixes catchy melodies, theatrical choreography and playful visual detail to invite audiences of all ages into a vivid, emotional musical comedy.

Created by Am Stram Gram and directed by Steven Matthews, this wild Western reinvents the genre with humour and kinetic energy. Matthews and his ensemble interrogate law, money and the idea of progress while pushing the limits of the stage into saloons, robberies, a mock funeral, shadow‑theatre train sequences and breathless chases. The production blends physical theatre, visual invention and comic timing to deliver an irreverent, spirited exploration of community and territory.

Survie du vivant is a poetic, biological and theatrical lecture-performance led by Julie Drouin alongside an actor. Through intimate, staged conversation the piece probes the interdependence of life, the forest’s vegetal internet and the human relationship to nature, balancing humour and tenderness. Minimal staging and attentive rhythm let scientific ideas mingle with poetic images, inviting adolescents and adults into a reflective, sensorial experience that moves between curiosity and wonder.

Ariel Project is a participatory documentary sci‑fi piece led by Caroline Bernard and Gaël Sillere with the young performers of the Morphoses group. The work stages encounters between testimony and imagination, mounting an intimate atmosphere where childhood and adolescent voices confront the unknown through an OVNI narrative. The collaborative creation blends documentary material and theatrical invention, exploring memory, fear and wonder in a cross-generational ensemble. Presented within the VIVA festival and produced in co‑realisation with Comédie de Genève.

Blurring documentary and ritual, Ordalie is a visceral exploration of adolescence. Through anonymous interviews conducted in a secondary school, four performers circulate the voices of pupils, teachers, principals and psychologists using a post‑synchronisation device. Identities shift and ages collapse as the staging invites adults to cross the mirror held up by Gen Z. A fragile, exuberant carnival, this piece transforms adolescence into a persistent, combustible flame. Produced for the VIVA festival.
