Double nationalité

Performances

Booking Required

Directed by Joël Maillard and adapted from Nina Yargekov’s novel, Double nationalité is a choral theatrical investigation into identity and its contradictions. Four actresses — Cécile Goussard, Mélina Martin, Alicia Packer and Marie Ripoll — embody a single heroine and the chorus of her inner thoughts, navigating bilingual disorientation, memory and fantasy. Mélissa Rouvinet’s scenography, Antoine Françoise’s music and Édouard Hügli’s lighting create a dreamlike, often sharp atmosphere. Production by Cie SNAUT; costumes by Coralie Chauvin and sound by Cédric Simon.

Woolf Works (Opera Passion)

Performances

Le City

Choreographed by Wayne McGregor with a score by Max Richter, Woolf Works is a monumental, Olivier Award–winning triptych that translates Virginia Woolf’s stream-of-consciousness into movement. The work interlaces motifs from Mrs Dalloway, Orlando and The Waves through fluid ensembles and abrupt solos, relying on a luminous creative team (set, costume, lighting and sound) to shape shifting atmospheres. The result is an immersive, emotionally charged experience that dissolves narrative into sensation and concentrated theatrical memory.

LETTRE À MON DICTATEUR

Performances

POCHE /GVE

Directed by Geneviève Pasquier and performed by Vincent Babel, LETTRE À MON DICTATEUR stages Eugène’s cathartic gesture of writing to Nicolae Ceauşescu. The production blends intimate monologue with archival echoes, folding fragments of Pierre Omer’s Swing Revue into a jazz-tinged score that punctuates memory and revelation. The creative space favors spare tableaux, tactile sound textures and a nimble rhythm that offsets historical weight with mischievous warmth, transforming personal trauma into a tender, witty coming-of-age confession.

Voyage au bout de la nuit

Performances

Théâtre des Amis

Adapted and performed by Felipe Castro, this solo staging probes the absurdity of war, murderous nationalism and the raw misery at the heart of Céline’s writing. Coach José Lillo supports a performance of muscular, visceral language while Natacha Jaquerod’s set, Rinaldo Del Boca’s lighting and Jean Faravel’s sound sculpt stark, claustrophobic atmospheres. The production balances brutal imagery with moments of surprising humanity, revealing the author’s vocation as a doctor through an intimate, relentless theatrical journey.

Antigel Festival – Whitney

Performances

L'épicentre

Whitney reworks Chicago soul into luminous melodies and warm vocals, transforming that heritage into a modern, timeless indie sound. Formed in Chicago by Max Kakacek and Julien Ehrlich after the breakup of Smith Westerns, the duo earned acclaim with Light Upon the Lake and explored pop and contemporary R&B textures on Spark. Their album Small Talk pares back arrangements to a more intimate, contemplative register, highlighting fragile harmonies and a tender, autumnal atmosphere.
