2 – 11 October

An introspective monologue for multiple voices, La Table d’Amour is a poetic theatrical immersion inspired by a Tinos island tradition. Performed by Manon Krüttli and Jeanne De Mont, the piece follows Manon Krüttli’s journey between autobiography, fiction and dreamlike reverie. It probes questions of living together, reconciliation and the role of conviviality as an artistic gesture, creating an intimate, sensory staging that favors lyricism and shared presence.

24 September – 7 October

Directed and performed by Eve Aouizerate, Amours subversives stages a wry, intimate interrogation of gender and desire. With performers Mathilde Lyon and Dylan Poletti, the piece pivots on a provocative premise — a young woman’s decision to abandon a nascent career for the tradwife ideal — and unfolds as a personal theatrical essay on power, intimacy and the contradictions of femininity in 2026. Sparse staging and candid narration create a fierce, tender atmosphere.

3 – 4 October

Created and performed by Anne-Sophie Turion, Grandeur Nature is an audio-guided promenade that lets listeners slip into the intimate lives of strangers. Wearing headphones, the audience follows a voice-over that transforms ordinary streets, parking lots and public gardens into a theatrical, subtly augmented reality. Real residents become the protagonists of a narrative woven from their own stories, producing a delicate, poetic exploration of the everyday and the hidden resonances of urban life.

Presented by ClassiCosy, this concert brings together the Trio Messiaen — Vassily Chmykov (violin), Volodia van Keulen (cello) and Philippe Hattat (piano) — in a programme linking Europe and the United States. Works by Thierry Escaich, Maurice Ravel and an orchestral suite after Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess (arranged by the trio) reveal cross-currents between art music and popular styles. Rhythms ranging from Basque motifs to jazz and Afro‑Cuban pulses shape an intimate, colour-rich sonic journey.

3 – 4 October

Star Thérapie is a wild, off-kilter musical comedy from the Chrysalide Academy company that turns celebrity worship into absurd obsession. On stage, the affable but unorthodox Professor Westley treats a parade of flamboyant patients whose fixations spiral into surreal, laugh-out-loud situations. The show blends catchy songs, physical comedy and fast-paced theatrical invention to create a delirious, high-energy evening that skewers fandom while celebrating performance and spectacle.

24 September – 4 October

Le Truc sur le feu is a playful, offbeat fable that examines how the domestication of fire shaped human life. Written by Romane Nicolas, the piece stages two Paleolithic clans who wonder, clash and ignite as puppets by the Kokoschka tradition bring grotesque situations to life. With incisive humour and sharp theatricality, the show confronts ideas of progress, individuality versus community, animality and civilisation, offering a vividly staged reflection on the choices that set societies alight.
