Les Fabulateurs present a long-form improvisation in which the audience steers the narrative. A story grows from spectators’ suggestions, then at intermission the crowd proposes twists; the chosen idea is woven into the second half, overturning characters and stakes. The company relies on quick wit, physical play and tight ensemble listening to reshape plotlines in the moment. The piece privileges surprise, communal invention and a lively, razor-bright comic energy that keeps the performance elastic and unpredictable.

22 September – 29 November

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.
