Four performers embody testimonies from different generations in Sept, situated at the crossroads of dance and film.

Created by Manon Bril and Etienne Lautrette and directed by Théo Comby Lemaitre, this hybrid lecture-performance blends scholarly rigour with theatrical wit.

Told as a solo performance, this piece follows a woman as she remembers the films that shaped her life and blurs the line between cinema and memory. Through references to science-fiction sagas and cinematic archetypes — the woman-soldier, the survivor, the reluctant mother — the show probes identity, fear of change and the ways stories migrate from screen to skin. Sparse staging and intimate narration create a haunting, introspective atmosphere.

Created and performed by Sandra Widmer Joly, this theatrical piece confronts finitude with a blend of poetry, tenderness and dark humour. Drawing on the author’s fifteen years as a funeral celebrant, the work weaves personal testimony, quiet rituals and moments of levity. Dramaturg Antoine Jaccoud provided textual guidance following a writing workshop, and members of the Célébrys network bring lived professional experience to the stage. The overall tone is intimate, reflective and surprisingly warm.

Mentir lo Mínimo by Cie Alta Gama follows the journey of three bodies — a woman, a man and a bicycle — stripped down to the essentials: the body itself. Performers Amanda and Alejo create daring partnering, acrobatics and bicycle voltiges to explore self-relationship, identity and intimacy. Blending circus, theatre and live music within a minimalist aesthetic, the piece treats physicality with subtlety and celebration, offering a poetic, tactile reflection on presence.
