Festival de la Bâtie – Repertório N.2

Booking Required

Choreographed by Davi Pontes and Wallace Ferreira, Repertório N.2 investigates dance as a practice of self-defence. Conceived during the 2021 pandemic, the piece intensifies a trilogy’s first instalment through sustained, frenetic movement and charged proximity. Audiences are placed around the performers, their attention made central as the artists fix them with a confronting gaze. Static, voguing-inspired poses punctuate the work—stillness becomes a concentrated power, always on the verge of impact.

Presented as a season manifesto, Les Racines du Ciel is a reflective text by Eric Devanthéry that probes the weight of words and collective imaginaries in an accelerated history. It frames the stage as both bulwark and site of shared, engaged human experience, calling to preserve margins against logics of productivity and control. The essay evokes the season’s diverse pieces — from À l’aune to Orlando — and insists on culture as necessity. A transcription and a SoundCloud excerpt accompany the text.

Claudine (j’aime pas l’bonheur) is a re-creation by Marjolaine Minot that probes the ambivalence of happiness through intimate theatrical language. The piece blends restrained physicality and lyrical monologue to map memory, longing and domestic disquiet. Minimal scenic devices and attentive sound design carve spaces of emotion, while a small ensemble negotiates shifts between humour and melancholy. The production favours fragile gestures and precise rhythms to evoke an uneasy, poetic atmosphere.

Vocalyse brings together ninety choristers and four professional musicians in a celebration of the Beatles’ songbook. The pop choir reimagines familiar hits through vibrant arrangements, rich vocal harmonies and dynamic staging that blend choral discipline with pop energy. Supporting performances by Zeband and Les Hotpot (advanced classes of Catalyse) open the evening, offering a contrast of trained ensembles and student-driven projects. The programme focuses on collective voice and theatrical delivery.

30 May – 13 June

Directed as an in situ promenade, this performance follows two protagonists, P. and B., through the city’s hidden seams. B. conspires to seed an exuberant vegetal uprising, mastering invasive plants to unsettle urban order. P. slips into the city’s blind spots, picking locks and slipping through barriers to reveal alternative ways of inhabiting public space. The show mixes physical theatre, poetic staging and ecological imagination to explore rewilding, intimacy and civic subversion.

REQUIEM POUR DU POGNON is a musical comedy that unfolds as a blackly comic inheritance farce. After the death of wealthy entrepreneur Marcel, a large, fractious family gathers to read the will: a humiliated widow, a lovesick secretary, an avaricious mistress, a dull son, neurotic daughters and grasping cousins. Songs, ensemble numbers and moments of karaoke expose secrets, rivalries and petty betrayals, shifting between biting satire and tender absurdity while the stage pulses with chaotic, carnival-like energy.
