5 – 10 May

Il était une autre fois

Presented by Les AMAZONES à la Julienne, this satirical comedy upends fairy-tale logic to expose social conventions. A distinguished lecturer’s attempt to rehabilitate classic tales unravels as a sarcastic Witch dismantles founding myths, and heroines from Cinderella to Snow White rebel, bore themselves or awaken sexually. Mixing social satire, dark comedy and biting poetry, the piece stages wild reversals where prey become predators, yielding a hilarious yet cruel portrait of a post–fairy‑tale world that unsettles as it amuses.

Free entry, donations welcome.

Created and performed by Julian Vogel and written and staged by Roman Müller and Julian Vogel, Ceramic Circus is a solo circus piece conceived like a musical composition. On a circular stage Vogel pedals and skates around a swinging ceramic sphere, layering the crash of plates, drum rolls and rhythmic loops.
