At La Cité Bleue, Bach and the Bible is a powerful and intimate performance by director Omar Porras and pianist Cédric Pescia. The show weaves together sacred biblical texts and Bach’s keyboard music, exploring the deep spiritual dialogue between word and sound. Porras voices the Gospels, Psalms, and prophecies, while Pescia delivers a luminous, heartfelt interpretation of Bach’s meditations.

Neither a recital nor a theatrical reading, the performance invites audiences—believers or not—to rediscover the universal spiritual depth of Bach’s music rooted in the Bible, creating a moving journey of meaning, beauty, and silence.

3 March – 2 April

Molière’s Tartuffe tells the story of a slick con-man who hides behind ostentatious piety to worm his way into the wealthy Orgon household. Orgon, dazzled by Tartuffe’s sanctimonious rhetoric, defends him even as the impostor’s hypocrisy poisons family bonds and pushes the household toward ruin.

Director Jean Liermier underscores how, in Molière’s work, the female characters serve as the moral compass and spark of resistance, a beacon of hope against oppression. Staged on a stark, minimalist set that exposes the family’s rigid tensions—and featuring Gilles Privat as an unbending Orgon—this production highlights the play’s continuing resonance in a world beset by egotism, fanaticism, and conspiracy thinking. The central question remains timeless: will society keep falling for Tartuffe’s brand of seductive deceit?

In French. Ages 12 and up.

Adapted by Cie Le Magnifique Théâtre from Alessandro Baricco’s novella, Novecento is a maritime fable directed by Julien Schmutz. Actor Michel Lavoie embodies the narrator while pianist-composer Max Jendly conjures nightly jazz waves that shape the piece’s soundworld. The staging transforms stage into ship, where music becomes horizon and memory, blending poetic storytelling and live piano improvisation. The production favours a dreamlike, suspended atmosphere that explores solitude, belonging and the liberating force of music.

6 – 15 March

Succès Reprise is a sparkling vaudeville that blurs the line between theatrical comedy and the comedy of everyday life. A charming love triangle performed by a tight trio of actors unfolds through rapid-fire exchanges, physical gags and shifting misunderstandings. The staging favours bright pace and playful timing, delivering light-hearted warmth while revealing awkward human impulses and social foibles. The piece leaves a lingering smile and a sense of affectionate irony.

“Cleopatra at Am Stram Gram” is a must-see show for audiences of all ages. Directed by Dan Jemmett and penned by Rémi De Vos, this production offers a fresh take on the Cleopatra myth, uncovering lesser-known facets of this historical icon. With an all-female cast, the play delves into her alliances, romantic entanglements, and her prowess in languages, mathematics, and philosophy, set against a backdrop of a male-dominated world. It’s a theatrical experience not to be missed!
