21 April – 10 May

Chekhov’s Ivanov follows Nikolai Ivanov, a middling Russian landowner crushed by debt and by the slow decline of his wife, Anna Petrovna, who is dying of tuberculosis. Across four acts, his inertia curdles into melancholy and self-destruction, swinging between biting comedy and harrowing despair. Written in a ten-day burst in 1887, when Chekhov was only twenty-seven, the play crackles with youthful urgency as tragedy and humor intertwine.

Director–actor Jean-François Sivadier infuses this new staging with his distinctive theatrical energy, pairing veteran performers with fresh faces to reignite the play’s original heat. Echoing Gustav Mahler’s dictum that “tradition is not the worship of ashes, but the preservation of fire,” the production seeks to keep Chekhov’s raw, combustible spirit blazing on today’s stage.

In French. Ages 16 and up.

Led by pianist-composer Andrew Audiger, this new trio with guitarist Théo Duboule and drummer Valentin Liechti blends acoustic and electric textures across jazz, folk and soft rock. Audiger’s fluid piano and synth lines weave with Duboule’s guitar and Liechti’s nuanced rhythms to create a suspended, nostalgic atmosphere. The programme highlights his boundary-free approach and compositional subtlety, balancing open improvisation with melodic clarity and intimate sonic detail that lingers after each passage.

Set in Paris, 1897, this spiritist improvisation centres on Natalia Fox, a darkly sensual tarot reader and pendulum expert whose séances blur psychology and the uncanny. Each performance stages four intimate consultations for eccentric clients, letting improvisation shape revelations conjured by incense, whispered voices and flickering light. The show moves between sly comedy and unsettling insight, exploring fate, desire and the mechanics of belief while inviting the audience into a charged, sensory ritual.
