Cabaret en chantier is a laboratory for short puppet creations that treats making a puppet show like walking a tightrope while juggling. Balanced between text and image, between real and imaginary, between the animated and the inanimate, it demands writing, building and precise manipulation; every gesture and detail can tip the whole. This edition highlights emerging artists—students and career-changers—who receive institutional support to explore and reinvent puppet arts, presenting their first creations.

Conductor Ferran Gili-Millera leads the municipal wind ensemble through a vivid, eclectic programme that spans cinematic themes, jazz classics and contemporary wind repertoire. The concert juxtaposes works by Thierry Deleruyelle, Marcel Peeters and Jacob de Haan with beloved film melodies from Joe Hisaishi, John Williams and Hans Zimmer, plus jazz arrangements evoking Duke Ellington. The band’s precise dynamics and warm, sustained sonorities shape an emotional arc from playful lyricism to sweeping heroic fanfares, placing the orchestral wind palette at the centre.

Bold and poetic, “Insuline” is a powerful denouncement of virilist and heteronormative excesses. Combining the sharp words of Lou Lepori, the music of Marc Berman, and the performance of Cédric Leproust, this fiery recital challenges conventions and unspoken norms. This queer show, driven by tumultuous and subversive expression, celebrates a body that rejects imposed normality.

Choreographers and performers Katerina Andreou and Mélissa Guex devise SHOUT TWICE as a physical, hybrid concert-performance where the body and voice become material. The piece transforms raw cries into collective energy, mixing movement, vocal textures and improvised dynamics. Intense and immediate, the work invites shared ritual, opening space for excess, play and communal release. The staging is nomadic and non-verbal, driven by bodily resonance and embodied sound.
