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.

Take flight with a whimsical show that blends silent cinema and contemporary circus. A tinkerer and his puppet push beyond gravity aboard a spectacular flying machine, mixing acrobatics, dance and inventive mechanics. The performance revives the daring early attempts at aviation through playful movement and poetic stagecraft, creating a suspended, cinematic world that sparks imagination. Gentle thrills and visual storytelling make it ideal for family audiences to experience wonder together.
Kids ages 5 and up.
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.
Created and performed by Camille Boitel and Sève Bernard, Le Poids des Choses turns gravity into a playful laboratory. Through a series of short, witty scenes for adults and children, heavy objects become featherlight while everyday gestures grow unexpectedly arduous. Objects seem to acquire a life of their own as bodies slip the laws of physics; an anvil floats and trunks fall upwards. Precise technique and discreet virtuosity animate a visually striking, mischievous performance that blends wonder, humour and silent astonishment.
