Feu au lac ! stages a trio of political puppet pieces that resurrect little-known episodes of Romandy’s social history. Combining rod puppets, archival fragments and live music, the performance balances sharp satire and warm humanity. Conceived from a short piece shown during Cabaret en chantier 2024, the triptych revitalizes political marionette theatre while offering a rhythmic, musical staging that sparks reflection and collective energy. The creative approach foregrounds material histories and the power of popular resistance.

21 April – 10 May

Chekhov’s Ivanov follows Nikolai Ivanov, a middling Russian landowner crushed by debt and by the slow decline of his wife, Anna Petrovna, who is dying of tuberculosis. Across four acts, his inertia curdles into melancholy and self-destruction, swinging between biting comedy and harrowing despair. Written in a ten-day burst in 1887, when Chekhov was only twenty-seven, the play crackles with youthful urgency as tragedy and humor intertwine.

Director–actor Jean-François Sivadier infuses this new staging with his distinctive theatrical energy, pairing veteran performers with fresh faces to reignite the play’s original heat. Echoing Gustav Mahler’s dictum that “tradition is not the worship of ashes, but the preservation of fire,” the production seeks to keep Chekhov’s raw, combustible spirit blazing on today’s stage.

In French. Ages 16 and up. 

22 – 25 April

Led by two experts in visible and invisible heritage, this guided performance turns Saint‑Jean into an urban theatre where archives mingle with legends and personal testimony illuminates shadowed corners. The piece, born of research and encounters, moves between quiet listening and sudden revelations, blurring fact and memory. Audiences are invited into an immersive, collective journey that teases open the fissures of everyday life and reveals the dormant stories sleeping in ordinary streets.

An improvisational duet by Carlos Henriquez and Fausto Borghini, this show turns audience suggestions (time periods, words, places and emotions) into instant scenes. With the single rule of never saying no, the duo launches into a sequence of short, varied, fast-paced vignettes that blend comedy, surprise and emotional truth. The performance relies on the performers’ keen listening, rapid chemistry and playful risk-taking, creating an electric, intimate atmosphere where unpredictability becomes the engine of storytelling.

Carlotta Bulgarelli, harpist, offers an intimate midday recital featuring baroque sonatas and lyrical transcriptions. Her refined technique and warm tone bring out the contrapuntal clarity of D. Scarlatti and the expressive elegance of C. Ph. E. Bach, while colourful arrangements by Albéniz and the contemporary voice of J. Parry add timbral variety. The programme invites listeners into a relaxed, focused listening experience that highlights the harp’s poetic and virtuosic possibilities.
