29 September – 18 October

Directed by Céline Goormaghtigh and written by Anne Berest, LA VISITE probes maternal instinct with sharp humour and urgent intensity. In a compact domestic setting, a young mother at the limits of endurance confronts visitors while her defenses dissolve; a trio of actresses whirl and collide, delivering a caustic torrent of language and revealing movement. The work explores ‘matraissance’—the birth of motherhood—balancing lucidity, rage and tenderness to unsettle familiar myths about maternal bliss.

An introspective monologue for multiple voices, La Table d’Amour is a poetic theatrical immersion inspired by a Tinos island tradition. Performed by Manon Krüttli and Jeanne De Mont, the piece follows Manon Krüttli’s journey between autobiography, fiction and dreamlike reverie. It probes questions of living together, reconciliation and the role of conviviality as an artistic gesture, creating an intimate, sensory staging that favors lyricism and shared presence.

The Icelandic quartet ADHD presents their tenth album, ADHD 10, continuing an exploration between jazz, ambient, rock and folk. Simon Frith describes it as “a desolate quietude… Nordic, neither urban jazz nor rural folk.” Their immersive, sensory sound transcends genres, offering an intense concert blending new material with signature pieces. The group—Óskar Guðjónsson (saxophones), Ómar Guðjónsson (guitar, pedal steel, bass), Tómas Jónsson (piano, keyboards) and Magnús Trygvason Eliassen (drums)—creates spacious, contemplative textures that evolve into powerful, lyrical climaxes.

Directed by Jérémy Guérard, La femme parfaite traces a daughter’s confrontation with her dying mother and the inherited patterns that bind three generations of women. Through intimate staging, moments of therapy and delicate origami sequences, the production untangles memory, family conditioning and desires for emancipation. The piece weaves ghosts of the past into a portrait of love and liberation, pairing rigorous dramaturgy with emotional clarity. The performance is followed by a discussion with the audience.

Je ne suis pas Johnny is a theatrical exploration of identity, memory and the weight of cultural myth. Combining intimate staging, physical sensitivity and moments of dark humour, the piece unsettles familiar narratives and invites audiences to reconsider how personas are constructed and performed. Sparse lighting and a fluid rhythm shape an intense, close-up experience, where silence and gesture reveal hidden tensions and unexpected tenderness.
