Calamity is an intense, atmospheric theatre piece that explores upheaval, memory and human fragility through a blend of physical performance and evocative soundscapes. Sparse staging and sculptural lighting carve intimate moments, while the ensemble uses breath, gesture and fragmented language to trace connections and losses. Tension shifts between stillness and sudden release, inviting the audience into a concentrated, emotional landscape where silence often speaks as loudly as action.
Choreographed by Catol Teixeira, Baby Teeth is a ten-dancer work that inhabits the mouth as a site of taste, biting and contagion. The piece weaves song, movement and tactile materials into a polyphonic choreography where pleasure and pain coexist. Collaborating with visual artists, poets and lighting designers, the ensemble explores memory, transmission and the birth of language through shifting textures and intimate gestures. The multinational creative team brings a collective, ritual quality to a sensory, transformative journey.
Patrice Thibaud and Philippe Leygnac form an unforgettable, multifaceted comic duo whose work blends pantomime, music, acrobatics and contortion. Conceived by Patrice Thibaud and staged by Susy Firth, Michèle Guigon and Thibaud, the show layers silent burlesque with original music by Leygnac, inventive lighting by Charlotte Dubail and costumes by Isabelle Beaudoin. Through poetic physical comedy evoking Tati and Chaplin, the performance explores sporting rituals and human foibles with irony and tenderness.
Focus Jeune Création brings together a new generation of Romand artists over two weeks, presenting five bold and hybrid performances that blur theatre, performance and live art. The program explores emergent writing and stage practices— from plateau-based text to pieces rooted in the real—offering layered, often indisciplinary approaches that question formats and invent languages for a transforming world. Accompanying meetings and discussions extend the works and open insight into creative processes.
An open-mic welcoming performers of every level to present a song with support from Alexandre Coppaloni’s team of professional musicians or with your own band. Share original compositions or reinterpret favourite pieces before a curious, welcoming audience. One song per participant (more if time allows); pieces should stay close to original keys and avoid overly complex arrangements, since there is no rehearsal with the house band. Send charts in advance if you need instrumental support.
An energetic live competition for local blues bands, featuring eight selected groups each performing two tightly-crafted songs (max seven minutes each). The evening highlights raw musicianship, gritty guitar tones and call-and-response vocals, with a shared backline supporting tight ensemble interplay. Prizes include a professional recording session and gift certificates, and the awards ceremony culminates with winners returning onstage for a celebratory encore. Expect an intimate, electric atmosphere of rivalry, camaraderie and soulful performance.
Directed by Brigitte Rosset, this intimate comedy follows Lucie, a celebrated playwright trapped by silence, and Thomas, her eccentric new neighbour whose clumsy misadventures rekindle her imagination. Performed by Mauro Bellucci and Camille Figuereo, the staging plays with the boundaries between fiction and reality, mixing subtle humour, melancholic moments and theatrical invention. The production honours the original text by Matthieu Delaporte and Alexandre de La Patellière.
