Saturday 7 November, 20:00

Antoine Magyar presents his first solo show, an intimate and inventive performance that probes what it means to live with oneself. Mixing sharp humour and quiet vulnerability, the piece stages an intrusive inner voice, candid therapists and an IKEA-style manual used to assemble a tailor-made relationship. Playful stagecraft and precise comic timing shift between reflection and laugh-out-loud moments, offering both tenderness and unsettling insight.

In French.

Amants à mi-temps explores the rhythms of contemporary relationships through intimate theatrical language. A compact cast shifts perspectives with precise staging, subtle movement and a keen sense of timing. The piece balances tenderness and irony, employing spare scenic touches and atmospheric lighting to expose the quiet negotiations and small compromises of love. The result is both poignant and wry, rendered with close attention to rhythm and tone.

An intimate duet of movement and presence, Un corps pour deux explores the fragile balance between two bodies on stage.

The work invites close attention to breath, touch and the physics of shared space.

Le Père Noël est une ordure is a darkly comic stage play that blends absurdist humour with biting social satire. This production relies on a nimble ensemble to deliver sharp physical comedy, rapid-fire dialogue and grotesque characters. Sparse, inventive staging and precise lighting underpin sudden shifts from farce to melancholy, exposing loneliness beneath the laughter. The performance foregrounds timing, ensemble interplay and a contemporary sensibility that renews the cult classic.

Saturday 12 December, 20:00

Louis Cattelat blends trashy humour, deadpan delivery and poetic metaphors to probe what connects us on Earth and among the stars. Inspired by the Arecibo radiotelescope and its attempt to reach other civilizations, his show turns the stage into a space of attentive listening and self-mockery. He speaks about desire and homosexuality with disarming candour, balancing dark comedy and sensitivity to create a curious, intimate and slightly audacious atmosphere.

In French.

12 December 2026 – 9 January 2027

Mon pire cadeau de Noël is an intimate French-language theatrical piece that examines family tensions, memory and the contradictions of festive rituals. The staging blends dark comedy with poignant moments, relying on an ensemble’s physicality, sparse but suggestive set design and atmospheric lighting to shift between humour and unease. The performance favours close audience engagement and a rhythm that alternates rapid, comic exchanges with quieter, reflective scenes.
