Festival de la Bâtie – Repertório N.3

Booking Required

Choreographed and performed by Davi Pontes and Wallace Ferreira, Repertório N.3 closes their trilogy with a mischievous, incisive dance that uses irony and mockery as modes of resistance. Created after Bolsonaro’s 2022 defeat, this final chapter swaps the martial frontal energy of earlier pieces for playful, provocative gestures: naked, unmiked bodies and no music foreground look, pride and sly humor. Invoking social media codes and viral culture, the duo interrogates how queer and racialized bodies are seen, exposed and consumed.

21 May – 13 June

Mariés au premier ringard is a sharp, character-driven theatrical comedy that dissects the absurdities of modern relationships with warmth and irony. The staging favors close ensemble interaction, a lean scenography and precise lighting that underline shifting loyalties and comic misunderstandings. Moments of tenderness puncture the satire, inviting reflection on intimacy, identity and the small rituals of coupling. It balances humour and poignancy to produce a lively theatrical pulse.

In French.

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.

In French.

25 May – 19 June

Created collectively by the company À l’Ouest with Guillaume Pidancet, this inventive staging reimagines Charles Perrault’s Bluebeard for families. Performed in a mobile truck‑theatre that becomes a ‘suitcase of dreams,’ the production blends playful storytelling, poetic imagery and close‑up interaction to transform a dark tale into a gentle exploration of curiosity and trust. The intimate ensemble features Pierre Boulben, Hugo Braillard and Loubna Raigneau.

Nearly 250 pupils from École primaire de Geisendorf join 170 musicians of the Harmonie des Cadets in a communal concert that gathers almost 400 young performers. Under the musical direction of Pierre Lanfrey, Raphaël Hugon and Stilver Segando, with Christophe Zimmermann leading percussion and Marion Fontana directing the Geisendorf choir, the programme blends youthful voices and wind ensemble sonorities. The staging favours vibrant textures, dynamic contrasts and a celebratory, tightly-knit sound that highlights community and musical apprenticeship.

10 – 13 June

“Wasted Land” by Ntando Cele at the Maison Saint-Gervais combines song, music, dance, and multimedia to tackle the climate crisis. The performance shifts between dynamic and contemplative multidisciplinary sequences, highlighting the destruction wrought by fast fashion and the often hypocritical ecological responses, contrasting impoverished nations with Western powers.

12 – 13 June

Returning to the stage, Carlos Martinez offers an intimate homage to the art of mime and to the audiences who accompanied his career. The evening’s opening is a journey through memory: a man revisits a place that shaped his life and discovers objects that are more than mere things, holding the traces of the past and opening spaces of imagination. Through precise, silent gestures and poetic tableaux, Martinez transforms objects into storytellers, exploring origin, time and heritage while celebrating how art endures.
