In the Brain

Booking Required

In the Brain, Hofesh Shechter’s latest creation, is a raw, electrifying dive into movement, rhythm and collective energy. Built from the 2022 piece Cave, it probes human gatherings and instinctive behaviour as identities dissolve into a shared pulse. A powerful, immersive score drives bodies to sync and merge, creating an intense collective dynamic. Lighting by Tom Visser and costumes by Osnat Kelner frame the ensemble work performed by Matilde Agostinone, Teige Bisnought, Nagga Baldina, Federica Fantuzi, Woojin Kwon, Armand Lassus, Skiye Nataliah and Ella Roberts.

One Thing After Another

Théâtre de l'Orangerie

Join a playful builder who improvises a strange home in a garden. With brave, clever ropes and found objects she moves from one idea to the next, sometimes wild, sometimes stubborn, slowly assembling a surprising structure. Children will watch materials cooperate or resist, feel the rhythm of making, and wonder whether everything will collapse or turn into accidental genius. A lively, physical performance that celebrates imagination, trial and joyful experimentation.

In French. Ages 6 and up.
