Choreographed by Laurence Yadi and performed by Compagnie 7273, Silahkan invites audiences into a fluid, hypnotic dance inspired by Balinese ritual and imagery. Objects and fabrics transform into shifting landscapes as precise, undulating gestures create a continuous calligraphic movement. The piece unfolds as a gentle trance, balancing intimate metamorphosis and communal generosity, offering a poetic exploration of presence and welcome. Accessible to young audiences, its delicate staging transforms dance into a universal language.

Performer and poet Katerina Apostolopoulou reads extracts from the Artemis serials, weaving myth and contemporary reflection through lyrical narration. Projected images taken from the books accompany the reading, creating a visual echo that expands the tales for listeners of all ages. The session is presented as part of a larger 100-episode cycle designed for aloud sharing across generations, with contributions by Murielle Szac and Noëlle Reymond.

Directed by Sean Gandini and Kati Ylä-Hokkala, Heka is a bold reinvention of juggling within a contemporary circus frame, featuring magician Yann Frisch. The piece blends rigorous ensemble choreography with mind-bending sleight of hand, offering cerebral and visual fireworks where objects seem to have a will of their own, with disappearances, impossible gestures and sudden illusions. Precision, playfulness and a dry, so-British humour create a sharp, wondrous atmosphere.

Virginie Despentes’s Romancero Queer takes audiences behind the scenes of a theatre company rehearsing a radical restaging. Under the unseen direction of a director intent on ‘queerising’ La casa de Bernarda Alba, tensions, confessions and clashes surface. The ensemble—from a former prisoner to a cabaret star—reveals fragility, rage and wounded love. Raw, tender and political, the text interrogates queer identities and collective reinvention, offering an electric, character-driven comedy about power and solidarity.

Directed by the company La Meute, Motel Cactus is an explosive Latin cabaret that stitches acrobatics, live music and physical theatre into a delirious, poetic spectacle. Six acrobats and three musicians from Argentina, Colombia, Mexico, Germany and France fuse virtuosic skill with Caribbean rhythms and absurdist humour. The staging celebrates human resilience—like a cactus, life blooms in inhospitable places—mixing dance, daring feats and vibrant ensemble work to create an experience both tender and fierce.
