Blabla Drive 1 is a sharp, fast-paced road comedy staged as a claustrophobic trip in a 2 CV. The play follows Marie-Thérèse, a stern former nun, Charlotte Kervanec, a headstrong Breton, and Barbara Pink, an ex–reality-TV star, whose personalities collide as secrets, mishaps and a pursuing police force escalate tension and dark humour. The production leans on tight ensemble acting, episodic staging and a kinetic, cinematic rhythm.

The young ensemble investigates ways of seeing, using layers and superposition as a choreographic device. Sparse gestures, precise groupings and shifting light suggest new perspectives on the artworks, while an attentive staging balances playful experimentation with rigorous technique, creating an intimate, contemplative atmosphere that invites reflection and renewed visual attention.

Across intimate stagings the festival favors inventive direction, close ensemble interplay and a balance of wit and intensity, offering encounters that privilege physical presence, tonal variety and rigorous dramaturgy.
Noir & Gerber blend warm, intimate soul and blues with original songs in French and English. Vocalists Sophie Noir (voice, bass, piano) and Simon Gerber (voice, guitar, bass) trade melodies and harmonies over driving grooves from drummer Claude Kamber (or Alberto Malo), creating close interplay between voice and instrument. Their repertoire moves from smoky soul to rhythm’n’blues, combining delicate arrangements, raw emotion and playful improvisation that highlight songwriting and spirited live dynamics.
Directed by Jérôme Bel, this collectively created theatre piece is written and performed by children aged 8 to 14. The work unfolds through improvisation, playful imagination and a celebration of creative freedom, inviting an immediate, joyful stage presence. The ensemble’s spontaneous scenes and open-ended dramaturgy emphasize collaboration and risk, offering spectators an intimate encounter with youthful authorship and theatrical experiment.
