Cosmic Impro and Compagnie des Murmures join forces for a double-bill of high-energy improvisation. Four performers compete in a chaotic Battle Royal of mini-games and absurd challenges, where audience choices steer the action. Later, Sokkyo, an improvised shōnen, channels epic fights, friendship and soaring emotion with punchy physicality and comic timing. The evening combines playful competition and heroic spectacle, offering visceral thrills and collective laughter.

Directed by Céline Goormaghtigh and written by Anne Berest, LA VISITE probes maternal instinct with sharp humour and urgent intensity. In a compact domestic setting, a young mother at the limits of endurance confronts visitors while her defenses dissolve; a trio of actresses whirl and collide, delivering a caustic torrent of language and revealing movement. The work explores ‘matraissance’—the birth of motherhood—balancing lucidity, rage and tenderness to unsettle familiar myths about maternal bliss.

Directed by Alexander Zeldin, The Other Place is a contemporary reading of Antigone that carves a tragic family drama out of everyday life. On the anniversary of their father’s death, two estranged sisters confront memories, renovation works and an uncle determined to move on. With Jerry Killick among the cast and a strikingly realistic scenography, the production exposes hidden violences, irreconcilable trajectories and raw emotional fractures in a finely observed, tense staging.

With cellist Lisa Cailleton and Jérôme Gruffel (viola), Jean‑Baptiste Navarro (violin) and Nathalie Saudan (violin), the Contrepoint Quartet traces a repertoire from Purcell to Philip Glass and interweaves Scandinavian folk motifs. The programme examines the persistent force of repeating musical cells, contrasting baroque clarity with minimalist pulse and folk lyricism. Subtle dynamics and crystalline ensemble tuning reveal textures that shift from introspective to propulsive, inviting close listening and emotional clarity. It is presented within the Les Quatre Saisons de La Musicale season.
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.

Conductor Eva Ollikainen leads a programme juxtaposing contemporary and romantic Finnish voices with international mastery. Soprano Anu Komsi and cellist Lionel Cottet join the orchestra for Kaija Saariaho’s Mirage, Jean Sibelius’s Fantasia The Daughter of Pohjola and the symphonic poem Luonnottar, and Tchaikovsky’s deeply expressive Sixth Symphony, the ‘Pathétique’. The evening unfolds through rich orchestral colours, luminous vocal writing and a sweeping narrative arc.
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.
