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.

Climb into a rooftop fairytale where a wandering troupe leads audiences from the Island of Flying Papers to the Mountain of a Thousand Heads. The piece blends dance, song, and fragile twig-and-bark masks into an outdoor story that invites slowing down and sharing quiet wonder. Children take part in a lyrical adventure of movement, voice, and tactile craft that sparks imagination and gentle discovery.
In French. Kids ages 7–107.
Quim Girón reimagines how very young children engage with performance in a tender, playful show. In a circular space, little ones are invited to make their voices heard and to explore sound, gaze and touch through simple games and gentle acrobatics. The piece unfolds as a participatory adventure, funny, soft and moving, where presence and curiosity lead the action without ever being imposed.
Kids ages 2–102. Suitable for non-French speakers
