Collision(s)

Collision(s) is a poetic and introspective theatre piece born from the encounter between playwright Catherine Tinivella-Aeschimann and particle physicist Yasmine Amhis (CNRS/CERN). Through a fragmented narrative combining intimate storytelling, to-do lists, scientific inventories and personal reflections, the play follows a young physicist struggling to balance a demanding scientific career with motherhood, while subtly addressing gender equality in STEM fields. This CERN and Château Rouge co-production gently reminds us that behind every scientific breakthrough lies a deeply human story—one that theatre is uniquely equipped to tell.

Four characters’ stories intertwine in a sequence of vividly imagined tableaux that shift the everyday into the extraordinary. Between melancholy and grace, the production blends striking visual composition, touches of absurd humour and sudden joys, probing intimacy, family ties and social constraints through a sensitive, inventive theatrical language.
