Four performers improvise three short pieces within scenographies borrowed from other artists. Each evening, they discover a set knowing only its title and immediately create a unique, site-specific improvisation that reinterprets the original decor. The work explores authorship, memory and theatrical space through playful, risky physicality and attentive listening. Each performance is followed by a post-show discussion with the artists.

Led by Emmanuel Colliard, Saint-Alban offers a luminous concert that revisits the life and work of Marguerite Sirvins through ten finely wrought songs. With guitars and keyboards, the ensemble (Emmanuel Colliard, Gael Kyriakidis, Fabrice Seydoux, Romain Gachet, Sacha Ruffieux) navigates between rage and delicacy, mixing lyrical, solar and melancholic textures. Texts by Fabrice Melquiot give voice to Sirvins’s solitary, obsessive craftsmanship — the patience of a woman who stitched a legendary wedding dress. The staging balances intimacy and intensity.

Des Femmes au cœur brut is a theatrical faux-conference by Fabrice Melquiot, directed by Julien Schmutz, that stages a playful yet incisive inquiry into women artists of Art Brut. Performers Aurélie Rayroud, Selvi Purro and Yves Jenny blend biographical testimonies, art-historical analysis and poetic flashes in a form that oscillates between investigation, simulacrum and farce. Jasmine Morand’s movement direction shapes physical surprises while the ensemble navigates intimacy, humor and critical reflection. Accessible to people with reduced mobility.

Fabrice Melquiot’s monologue tells the story of Rose Amar, an ordinary yet exceptional woman standing beside her husband Paul, an obsessive sculptor who transforms shells and crustaceans into a colossal, saturated-colour work that borders on the sacred. Directed by Michel Lavoie and performed by Céline Cesa, the piece traces intimacy, devotion and the quiet presence of a woman who habitually hid behind her handbag while her husband spoke. The staging is intimate and tactile, blending poetic text with vivid visual imagination.

Augustin à la mine is a poetic theatrical portrait inspired by the life of Augustin Lesage, a miner who became a painter guided by inner voices. Fabrice Melquiot’s text traces visions, mysticism and social reality as the ensemble embodies a metamorphosis from labour to visionary creation. Directed by Julien Schmutz with choreography by Jasmine Morand, the cast, Céline Goormaghtigh, Amélie Chérubin Soulières, Marjolaine Minot, Céline Rey, Jeanne Pasquier, Michel Lavoie and Diego Todeschini, navigates ritual, drama and collective intensity.
