Guihome returns with a finely observed one‑man show that traces the passage from childhood to adulthood through a gallery of new characters and a naturalistic staging. The performance blends candid humour, tenderness and sharp, observational monologue as it follows first moves, first marriage and a first funeral. The staging favours realism and intimate storytelling, creating a warm, reflective atmosphere sustained across nearly two hours.

Collective BERLIN, led artistically by Yves Degryse, stages a site-specific spectacle inspired by Georges Perec’s La Vie mode d’emploi. Audiences, equipped with audio headsets, watch a building façade that opens to reveal six tableaux and intimate human stories.

Sparse staging and careful sound design heighten an intimate, observational atmosphere.

Balades Théâtralisées invites audiences on an outdoor theatrical promenade that uncovers hidden city histories through staged scenes in natural settings.

The route alternates between the company’s traditional itinerary and a new underground-themed walk, creating a layered experience of memory, surprise and communal discovery.

De-domestication is a ritual multimedia performance by Daniel Hellmann (Soya the Cow) and Rafa Bqueer (Uhura Bqueer) that stages two queer creatures — an Alpine cow and an Amazonian panther — confronting the global violences of monoculture, intensive farming and colonialism. With costumes by Andy Lopes, lighting and scenography by Theres Indermaur, video by Aron Smith and music by Eduardo Duarte and Coco Schwarz, the work blends poetry and provocation to explore rewilding, transformation and queer imaginaries.

6 – 7 June

Created by Atelier Théâtre Insolite in collaboration with autrement-aujourd’hui, this piece unfolds in the courtyard of an apartment block, where neighbors, caretakers and passersby form a delicate social choreography. Twelve actors and a tentative dancer weave scenes of repeated routine and sudden disruptions: a forgotten suitcase triggers a search across the faubourgs, conjuring encounters that blend theatre and dance. The staging favours intimate tableaux, subtle humour and moments of unexpected tenderness, inviting sensory attention to everyday life.
