Insân

Insân, whose title means “human” in Arabic and etymologically “one who forgets”, is a choreography for three performers set on a floor of stone and rubble. The piece interrogates memory and the vertiginous lightness of forgetting: bodies wrench themselves from gravity or sink into it, as if laying down what they carry finally allows them to dance. Beneath the movement, the work evokes the violence of a world that erases its own traces.

15 September – 11 October

A darkly comic solo play about obsession and domestic chaos. When Michel finds a rare record he has long sought, he prepares a perfect hour to listen — but family, neighbours and a drip that will wreck the disc steadily intrude. The piece skewers selfishness with sharp humour and precise staging, combining intimate realism and heightened farce to probe human smallness and the desperate desire for solitude.

In French.

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.

8 October – 14 November

Told as a solo performance, this piece follows a woman as she remembers the films that shaped her life and blurs the line between cinema and memory. Through references to science-fiction sagas and cinematic archetypes — the woman-soldier, the survivor, the reluctant mother — the show probes identity, fear of change and the ways stories migrate from screen to skin. Sparse staging and intimate narration create a haunting, introspective atmosphere.

In French.

8 – 17 October

Based on sketches by Devos, Ribes, Sylvie Joly, Palmade and Martinez, this theatrical revue sketches the comic microcosm of apartment life. Short scenes expose domestic tensions — marital rows, overwhelmed parents, an unpredictable grandmother and holiday disasters — with sharp observational wit and precise farcical timing. The ensemble slips into vivid characters, combining spoken comedy and physical nuance to reveal tenderness beneath the chaos, offering a warm, incisive portrait of neighbours and family.

In French.

7 – 11 October

Amor follows a forty‑something couple, attached yet weary from routine, confronting unspoken truths and the pull toward emancipation. This intimate, humanist theatre piece probes love’s contradictions—between inherited models and contemporary norms—through subtle staging and concentrated performances. Marjolaine Minot and Guillaume Prin embody the emotional shifts with delicate nuance, drawing the audience into a relational interior where choices, desire and restraint collide.

Thursday 8 October, 19:30

Conductor Eva Ollikainen leads a programme juxtaposing contemporary and romantic Finnish voices with international mastery.

The evening unfolds through rich orchestral colours, luminous vocal writing and a sweeping narrative arc.
