Multiple performers from diverse backgrounds move together, propelled by raw, kinetic energy and shaped by music, scenography and lighting.

Théâtre de l'Usine

Oscar M. Damianaki’s Sacré Saoulé gathers a collective of performers to examine mourning, anger and exhaustion through a charged, intimate choreography. The piece moves between bitterness and tenderness, exploring a grief born of ongoing oppression that resists closure.

La Demande en mariage et l’ours

Performances

Théâtre de Carouge

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.
