Jeremy Crausaz stages a comic yet tender portrait of family life, where laughter collides with reproach and joy sits beside quarrel. The piece moves between nostalgia, jealousy and small, fierce reconciliations; ruined desserts, heated conversations and offhand political arguments sketch a vivid domestic tableau. Intimate and sharply observed, the show examines how family ties persist despite awkwardness and unsaid affection.

Choreographed by Léo Lérus, Gounouj in situ is an intimate, physical dance for four performers that evokes fragile, living landscapes. Rooted in gwoka rhythms and inspired by the creole concept of bousyè, the work blends traditional and contemporary vocabularies to explore vulnerability, transformation and resistance. Bodies shift between human and amphibious states across a sensory soundscape of bird song and marine breath, transforming the stage into a moving ecosystem and proposing a fragile possibility of new balance.
Cirque Knie presents a family-oriented, large-scale circus spectacle combining athletic acrobatics, equestrian artistry and choreographed variety numbers.

Suitable for children from four years upwards, the show prioritises accessibility and comfort while offering an immersive, theatrical atmosphere that blends tradition and contemporary circus aesthetics.
Choreographed and performed by Davi Pontes and Wallace Ferreira, Repertório N.3 closes their trilogy with a mischievous, incisive dance that uses irony and mockery as modes of resistance. Created after Bolsonaro’s 2022 defeat, this final chapter swaps the martial frontal energy of earlier pieces for playful, provocative gestures: naked, unmiked bodies and no music foreground look, pride and sly humor. Invoking social media codes and viral culture, the duo interrogates how queer and racialized bodies are seen, exposed and consumed.
Ensemble BOW presents a programme of John Williams’s most iconic film scores, from Star Wars and Jurassic Park to Schindler’s List and Harry Potter. The musicians conjure cinematic textures with vivid orchestral colour, dynamic brass fanfares and intimate string passages. Arrangements highlight rhythmic drive and lyrical solos, while the ensemble’s clarity and energy recreate the emotional arcs of the original soundtracks. This evening celebrates Williams’s enduring knack for melodic storytelling and transports listeners into familiar film worlds.
Samar Haddad King’s Shabaab blends dance, theatre and puppetry to trace the intimate bond between two Palestinian friends, Mohamed and Mahmoud. Through movement, dialogue and a haunting puppet by Sipho Ngxola, the piece reconstructs memories, imagined futures and the silences carved by colonial violence. The choreography explores youth, tenderness and forms of resistance, creating a fragile space where friendship becomes a means of survival and poetic witness.
In English and Arabic with French surtitles.

Performers move between colloquial realism and heightened, poetic moments, navigating moral ambiguity and small acts of care.
