7 – 17 October

Je ne suis pas Johnny is a theatrical exploration of identity, memory and the weight of cultural myth. Combining intimate staging, physical sensitivity and moments of dark humour, the piece unsettles familiar narratives and invites audiences to reconsider how personas are constructed and performed. Sparse lighting and a fluid rhythm shape an intense, close-up experience, where silence and gesture reveal hidden tensions and unexpected tenderness.

The Icelandic quartet ADHD presents their tenth album, ADHD 10, continuing an exploration between jazz, ambient, rock and folk. Simon Frith describes it as “a desolate quietude… Nordic, neither urban jazz nor rural folk.” Their immersive, sensory sound transcends genres, offering an intense concert blending new material with signature pieces. The group—Óskar Guðjónsson (saxophones), Ómar Guðjónsson (guitar, pedal steel, bass), Tómas Jónsson (piano, keyboards) and Magnús Trygvason Eliassen (drums)—creates spacious, contemplative textures that evolve into powerful, lyrical climaxes.

9 – 16 October

Music and songs by Stephen Sondheim with a libretto by George Furth and a French translation by Stéphane Laporte. This intimate, razor-sharp musical follows Robert (Bobby), a charming New Yorker confronting bachelorhood, friendship and the compromises of coupledom. The production blends incisive lyrics, lively choreography and a close ensemble cast to reveal joyful neuroses, hidden desires and fragile bonds. The staging alternates warmth and irony, inviting reflection on love, loneliness and the elusive art of staying together.

Sung in English; dialogues in French.

Prima Facie, by Suzie Miller, stages a tense courtroom drama centred on Tessa, a brilliant defence lawyer whose life is upended after she becomes the victim of an assault. Directed by Elidan Arzoni and performed by Anna Budde, the production weaves urgent questions about justice, credibility and power. Danielle Milovic’s lighting and the French translation by Dominique Hollier and Séverine Magois shape a stark, intimate staging. Produced by Les Amis – Le Chariot for Scène Vagabonde Festival.

Produced by AB Prod Sàrl, the performance alternates live mixing, comic interplay and performative vignettes to blur the line between concert and cabaret.
