Directed by Marie Wyler and adapted from Violaine Bérot’s novel, Comme des bêtes follows a man nicknamed “the Bear” whose difference unsettles a mountain village after a child is sighted near his cave. Performed by Marie Probst, Marie Ruchat, Alexandra Tiedemann and David Casada, the piece mixes elements of folk tale and detective narrative to probe mutual taming between humans and other forms of life. Giulia Muniz’s costumes, David Kretonic’s lighting and Rudy Deceliere’s sound design build a tense, mysterious atmosphere that questions the limits of rationality.

In French.

19 – 29 March

Leonardo García Alarcón and his Cappella Mediterranea, in collaboration with the GTG Ballet, present the opera-dance Castor & Pollux by Jean-Philippe Rameau. Rarely performed in its 1737 version, the work delves into themes of brotherly love and sacrifice amidst a war between two peoples. The show features renowned baroque artists, including performances by Reinoud van Mechelen and Andreas Wolf. Dance is woven into the core of the dramaturgy, highlighting the emotional and musical depth of Rameau’s composition.

In French, with English subtitles.

26 – 29 March

Created by Collectif Humagine, La baleine 52 hertz examines autism and neurodivergent thought through intimate theatrical language. Written and performed by Valentina Luporini and Cédric Schaerer, the piece pairs Luporini’s dramaturgical voice with Schaerer’s multi-instrumental practice to shape its soundscape. The company, founded in 2023, draws artists from theatre, circus and music to explore compensation mechanisms, learning processes, emotional load and the distinct languages of autism, with a focused attention on feminine expressions often underdiagnosed.

Performed by Françoise Boillat, this intimate staging of Sophocles’ Antigone reimagines the tragedy through sparse, elemental theatricality. The actress confronts authority and allegiance beneath seven remarkable trees, whose silent presence frames tensions between law, nature and personal freedom. The production emphasises stark gestures, close physicality and a raw vocal intensity, letting heritage and dissent resonate through wind and shadow. Audiences are invited into a meditative, tactile encounter with the myth.

In French.

28 & 29 March

Performed by Édouard Louis and directed by Thomas Ostermeier, this terse, unflinching monologue examines the premature exhaustion of a father’s body and traces the social forces that shaped it. A sequence of fragments alternates indignation, vengeance and abiding tenderness. Nina Wetzel’s scenography, Caroline Tavernier’s costumes and Erich Schneider’s lighting frame a stark, intimate staging, while Sylvain Jacques’ music and the dramaturgy of Florian Borchmeyer and Élisa Leroy shape its rhythm.

In French.
