Directed by Françoise Courvoisier, this theatrical adaptation stages two periods of Grisélidis Réal’s life simultaneously, split between a dignified elder confronting illness and a vibrant earlier self. Martine Schambacher and Françoise Courvoisier embody these contrapuntal figures; assistant director Léa Déchamboux supports the staging. Natacha Jaquerod’s set, Rinaldo Del Boca’s lighting and Nicolas Le Roy’s sound design sculpt intimate, lyrical atmospheres. Drawing on Grisélidis’s letters, the piece blends lyricism and fury into a raw, elegiac portrait of life and writing.

Based on the Jekyll myth, this theatrical adaptation examines metamorphosis as both physical and social, probing identity, gender and the boundary between good and male/female. Stark black-and-white staging and chiaroscuro lighting evoke twilight and old horror films, while a persistent, slicing fog thickens the atmosphere. The venerable Dr Jekyll’s unsettling experiments unfold in a late-19th-century London laboratory, and his circle is drawn into mounting anguish as transformations accelerate.

Baptiste Cazaux presents a fragmented physical dance work that upends the senses. As choreographer and performer, Cazaux sculpts an explosive, hyperkinetic body that collides gestures, styles and sonic fragments like a DJ scratching samples. That’s Twisted mixes pop hymn nostalgia from the 2010s with a psychedelic collage of movement and sound, destabilising time, affect and perception. The piece traces contemporary melancholy and seeks transcendence through layered rhythms, distorted textures and sudden shifts in intensity. Création 2026, coproduction.
Victor Delétraz’s solo investigates image and the moving body across past, present and future, probing the vulnerability of human pursuits and the tension between hidden and visible. Video interweaves with choreography, found objects, light, sound and text to create a fragmented, anachronistic structure where multiple voices, at once comic, cartoony, political and dramatic, collide. The presentation, framed within the festival C’est déjà demain, emphasizes exploration and the beginnings of artistic form.
