Coeur d’amour is a sung and narrated tale that follows a young girl awaiting the arrival of a sibling. Set in a hospital waiting room, the piece explores a child’s curiosity and tender anxieties through Blandine Robin’s lyrical music, Albertine’s evocative illustrations and Delphine Lanza’s delicate direction. Poetic and gently humorous, the performance celebrates love in its many forms, including the comforting bond between a child and their beloved doudou.

Vocalyse brings together ninety choristers and four professional musicians in a celebration of the Beatles’ songbook. The pop choir reimagines familiar hits through vibrant arrangements, rich vocal harmonies and dynamic staging that blend choral discipline with pop energy. Supporting performances by Zeband and Les Hotpot (advanced classes of Catalyse) open the evening, offering a contrast of trained ensembles and student-driven projects. The programme focuses on collective voice and theatrical delivery.
Directed as an in situ promenade, this performance follows two protagonists, P. and B., through the city’s hidden seams. B. conspires to seed an exuberant vegetal uprising, mastering invasive plants to unsettle urban order. P. slips into the city’s blind spots, picking locks and slipping through barriers to reveal alternative ways of inhabiting public space. The show mixes physical theatre, poetic staging and ecological imagination to explore rewilding, intimacy and civic subversion.

Presented as a season manifesto, Les Racines du Ciel is a reflective text by Eric Devanthéry that probes the weight of words and collective imaginaries in an accelerated history. It frames the stage as both bulwark and site of shared, engaged human experience, calling to preserve margins against logics of productivity and control. The essay evokes the season’s diverse pieces — from À l’aune to Orlando — and insists on culture as necessity. A transcription and a SoundCloud excerpt accompany the text.

Mariés au premier ringard is a sharp, character-driven theatrical comedy that dissects the absurdities of modern relationships with warmth and irony. The staging favors close ensemble interaction, a lean scenography and precise lighting that underline shifting loyalties and comic misunderstandings. Moments of tenderness puncture the satire, inviting reflection on intimacy, identity and the small rituals of coupling. It balances humour and poignancy to produce a lively theatrical pulse.

The piece blends restrained physicality and lyrical monologue to map memory, longing and domestic disquiet. Minimal scenic devices and attentive sound design carve spaces of emotion, while a small ensemble negotiates shifts between humour and melancholy. The production favours fragile gestures and precise rhythms to evoke an uneasy, poetic atmosphere.
