Alain Kraft, a fifty-year-old of modest origins, faces an absurd and satirical ordeal when his bank freezes his account, accusing him of having “changed caste” after accumulating wealth. This sharp comedy examines social mobility, identity and institutional arbitrariness through crisp dialogue and keenly observed character dynamics. Nominated for the 2026 Molières as Best Comedy, the play blends dark humour and social critique to unsettle and amuse audiences.

Directed by Gilles Guénat and written by Roxane Gray, The Wall is a dance-theatre piece that immerses audiences in a musical and choreographic tapestry around the history of the Berlin Wall. Choreographies by Fabrice Martin, Sabine Gross-Collé, Gilles Guénat and Anthony Despras shape a fluid dialogue between a woman and a man, where the personal and the political intertwine. A company of around ten artists navigates intimate gestures and collective movements, evoking memory, rupture and resilient lyricism.
A comic lecture-show that makes the DISC method accessible through four colourful characters: Roger (the Dominant), Justine (the Influential), Virginie (the Stable) and Bernard (the Conscientious). Blending theatre and practical pedagogy, the performance uses humour and concrete tools to illuminate behavioural styles and improve interpersonal and professional communication. Adaptable for corporate conferences or public audiences, it balances lively sketches with clear takeaways to help participants recognise their patterns and communicate more effectively.

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.

Double Jeu is a sharp, playful improvisation show built around strategy, split-second choices and mutual misdirection. Each performer receives a secret mission and must weave it discreetly into the action, turning every scene into a live game of influence, bluff and comic escalation. The result is fast, unpredictable theatre where the ensemble’s timing, listening and inventiveness keep the audience guessing until the very last exchange.

Centred on Sami Bernath’s embodied memories, this performance mixes Swiss popular songs, rhythmic gestures and the traditional Löffelä spoon percussion to transform everyday motions into sound. Through repetition, deformation and rhythmic saturation, familiar motifs become permeable, revealing buried and repressed memories beneath the Swiss mountains. The staging is intimate and ritualistic, alternating fragile vocal fragments and percussive textures to probe memory and collective inheritance.

Text by Erri De Luca. Directed by Barbara Baker and F‑X Fernandez‑Cavada, Impossible unfolds after a man falls from a steep trail in the Dolomites.

The production balances documentary clarity and poetic fragments, offering a tense, intimate reflection on vengeance and the echoes of the 20th century into the present.
