Ensemble Vortex — Apophänies

Ensemble Vortex offers five pieces that probe apophenia, machines, bodies and sensory shivers, mapping perception’s unstable edges. Composers Rama Gottfried, Daniel Zea, Romane Bouffioux, Anna Korsun and Eva Reiter shape a landscape of micro-stage gestures, video projections, survival-blanket resonances, whispering ASMR textures, spatialized sound and tape. Instrumentalists shift roles—singing, playing, amplifying brushed objects—while live-filmed faces and mechanical tics create a fragile dramaturgy of rupture and merger. The evening unfolds as an immersive, tactile exploration of listening and misrecognition.

Directed by Joël Maillard and adapted from Nina Yargekov’s novel, Double nationalité is a choral theatrical investigation into identity and its contradictions.

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.

10 – 22 February

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.

5 – 15 February

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.
