Claudine (j’aime pas l’bonheur) is a re-creation by Marjolaine Minot that probes the ambivalence of happiness through intimate theatrical language.

Minimal scenic devices and attentive sound design carve spaces of emotion, while a small ensemble negotiates shifts between humour and melancholy. The production favours fragile gestures and precise rhythms to evoke an uneasy, poetic atmosphere.

An open-air musical gathering bringing together musicians across blues, rock, pop and Latin traditions. Performers trade improvisation and tight arrangements as warm evening light and the slow descent of the sun shape the sound. The programme moves from intimate acoustic textures to high-energy electric sets, with vocalists and instrumentalists creating moments of communal celebration and introspection. The event favours conviviality and sensory richness, where rhythm, harmony and the taste of local wines mingle to form a relaxed, festive atmosphere.
Directed by Oscar Gómez Mata and Bastien Semenzato, this staging brings together 16 young performers from La Manufacture’s promotion O to tackle Hamlet in its entirety. Combining tragic force with mordant, absurd humour, the piece explores how the past splashes into the present and how institutions unravel. Using the jeu bouffon — masks, exaggeration and the subversion of power — the ensemble shifts between farce, violent outbursts and intimate doubt as the prince teeters between thought and action.
