3 – 15 March

Revived by director Ninon Fachard after the original staging by Véronique Ros de la Grange, this solo piece stars Jacques Michel with Caroline Gasser as the prompter. Lighting by Rinaldo Del Boca and music by Alain Lamarche carve intimate, shadowed spaces around a red sequined curtain. Makeup by Natalia Lepianka and costumes by Emilie Revel shape the fading glamour of a music‑hall star who soliloquises, recalls past glory and loss, and sings in playback—an inward plunge toward memory and survival.

3 – 4 March

Winner of a 2025 Molière, “The Loop” is a zany comedy by Robin Goupil that takes the audience on a whimsical detective journey through Kansas. Douglas and Carrie, two tough cops, are trying to solve a murder with the mayor’s son as the main suspect, but they find themselves caught in a time loop. With an exceptional cast delivering outstanding performances, the show blends questionable metaphors, clever wordplay, and musical references, evoking laughter and surprises all the way to its absurdly grand finale.

8 January – 8 March

Winter of Caecilia gathers seven local theatre productions that revisit contemporary and classic forms through monologue and solo performance. Artists such as Nastassja Tanner, Ahmed Belbachir, Roland Vouilloz and Vincent Jacquet offer intimate, visceral interpretations, while texts by playwrights like Fabrice Melquiot are brought to life under directors including Jean‑Yves Ruf. The programme mixes poetic, comic and physically charged pieces that privilege sensory staging and emotional immediacy, inviting audiences into distinct, singular theatrical universes.

3 – 17 March

Created by Aurélie Hubeau and Lucie Hanoy, L’IMPOSTURE is a comic and poetic exploration of doubt, self-image and belonging. The piece follows a woman who describes herself as too small, obese, ugly and a tomboy, and recounts how she forged an identity in today’s world. Using objects, clothing and puppets manipulated with inventive choreography, the performance weaves humor, poetry and music — from Patrick Bruel to gospel and karaoke — to celebrate difference and question social norms, delivering warmth and poignancy.

3 – 7 March

Emma Saba and Jeanne Pâris revive the lyric repertoire in a subversive, celebratory performance. Playing with time and inheritance, Saba reworks early arias into electric fragments, laughter and amplified sighs. The piece interrogates the politics of the voice as opera sheds its white pageant to become raw material, desire, anger and tenderness. Part performance, part concert, Jalousie des tempêtes stages a ritual of dismantling and rejoicing, where vocal technique meets bodily intensity and theatrical invention.
