Amor follows a forty‑something couple, attached yet weary from routine, confronting unspoken truths and the pull toward emancipation. This intimate, humanist theatre piece probes love’s contradictions—between inherited models and contemporary norms—through subtle staging and concentrated performances. Marjolaine Minot and Guillaume Prin embody the emotional shifts with delicate nuance, drawing the audience into a relational interior where choices, desire and restraint collide.

Created by the company Calmez-vous!, Dopamine is a frenzied musical-theatre piece that explores the brain’s reward circuitry through playful, immersive staging. The production blends song, physical theatre and interactive moments to evoke compulsive desire and the sensory rush of pleasure. Stark lighting and kinetic choreography drive a rapid, humorous yet probing encounter with modern appetite and habit, questioning how reward shapes behaviour.

Directed and performed by Mickaël Délis with co-direction by Papy, La fête du slip narrows the lens on masculinity through a candid, intimate theatrical voice. Délis writes and inhabits the piece, calling on close relations to unsettle the cult of performance and to examine the strengths of vulnerability. The writing balances humour, tenderness and irony to create a stage experience that is at once raw and subtly moving.

Production d’Avril returns to documentary theatre with Rien que de l’eau?, a piece examining the impacts of climate change and how communities rebuild after flooding. Using personal testimonies, layered soundscapes and spare scenic devices, the work probes collective memory, practices of repair and the fragility of places. The staging balances sobriety and poetic tension, delivering a reflective, sensory encounter with the elemental force of water.

Objectif projet stages a darkly comic meeting of managers in a company that paradoxically has no project. Combining theatre and live song, the piece examines the corporate obsession with purpose and the absurd performativity of decision-making. Minimalist staging and musical passages create a claustrophobic, satirical atmosphere where authority and identity unravel. The production blends sharp text, vocal textures and physical choreography to probe contemporary workplace rituals.
