An immersive reimagining of The Sleeping Beauty, Ballet of Lights pairs luminous costumes and precise choreography to transform the fairy tale into a nocturnal spectacle. Dancers move within sculpted light, while a score drawn from classical masters underscores shifts from cursed sleep to the awakening kiss. The staging privileges atmosphere and visual storytelling, combining contemporary movement with theatrical lighting and evocative set elements to create a delicate, dreamlike experience.
Rien is a poetic, clownish exploration of the human condition performed through table puppets and object theatre. Performed and manipulated by Aurélie Gourvès and Délia Sartor, the piece stages themes of possession, authority, false beliefs, rivalry, fear of the void and boredom with a minimal scenography by Henry Castres. Assistants Cristina Iosif and François Accard support the staging, while Émile Parisien provides the music. A tender, comic and slightly melancholic show for audiences from six years.

Two short plays by Anton Chekhov staged by Tibor Ockenfels and Flavie Tapparel, presented as compact dramatic machines where romantic comedy masks escalating confrontations between desire, affection and material interest. Performances rely on precise physical timing, terse exchanges and a lean, playful design to reveal the simmering violence behind courtship rituals. The three actors — Estelle Bridet, Matteo Prandi and Raphaël Vachoux — inhabit heightened character types that shift between farce and darker comic truth, creating a sharply observed, kinetic evening.

The production favours large‑scale scenographies, kinetic lighting and pulsating soundscapes that shift between euphoria and intimacy.
Directed by Fanny Brunet and Carole Schafroth, this theatrical adaptation of Daniel de Roulet’s novel follows ten young women who emigrate to Patagonia to found an egalitarian anarchist community. Using object theatre, the production blends storytelling, projected images and reflective passages to probe anarchist utopias, working-class conditions, migration and the marginalised role of women in history. The staging is intimate and inventive, inviting thought and emotion through tactile imagery and poetic gesture.
