“Chaos Ballad” by Samir Kennedy at Maison Saint-Gervais immerses the audience in an intense performance blending concert, wild cabaret, and prophetic nightmare.

The performance features a defiant dance symbolizing the struggle against terror, absurdity, and the monotony of the world, creating a captivating and apocalyptic atmosphere.

21 April – 10 May

Chekhov’s Ivanov follows Nikolai Ivanov, a middling Russian landowner crushed by debt and by the slow decline of his wife, Anna Petrovna, who is dying of tuberculosis. Across four acts, his inertia curdles into melancholy and self-destruction, swinging between biting comedy and harrowing despair. Written in a ten-day burst in 1887, when Chekhov was only twenty-seven, the play crackles with youthful urgency as tragedy and humor intertwine.

Director–actor Jean-François Sivadier infuses this new staging with his distinctive theatrical energy, pairing veteran performers with fresh faces to reignite the play’s original heat. Echoing Gustav Mahler’s dictum that “tradition is not the worship of ashes, but the preservation of fire,” the production seeks to keep Chekhov’s raw, combustible spirit blazing on today’s stage.

In French. Ages 16 and up. 

22 April – 3 May

Feu au lac ! stages a trio of political puppet pieces that resurrect little-known episodes of Romandy’s social history. Combining rod puppets, archival fragments and live music, the performance balances sharp satire and warm humanity. Conceived from a short piece shown during Cabaret en chantier 2024, the triptych revitalizes political marionette theatre while offering a rhythmic, musical staging that sparks reflection and collective energy. The creative approach foregrounds material histories and the power of popular resistance.

Co-created by Pascal Gravat and Julien Mages for Compagnie Revolver, “Nu Vite” (Naked Quickly) is a choreo-biography in which a dancer and an author probe time, ageing and the urgent need to seize each instant. The work blends intimate movement and written testimony, set to music by Pierce Warnecke with sound design by Clive Jenkins and lighting by Alessandra Domingues. The 75‑minute performance explores memory, bodily change and the delicate rhythm between presence and loss.

In French. Adults only (17+).
