La fondation du rien

Conceived, written and performed by Nicolas Heredia, La fondation du rien stages a subtle exploration of absence and enforced idleness. The piece invites audiences to collectively encounter the sensory experience of emptiness as planned activities are deliberately cancelled, creating an unexpected stretch of unoccupied time. Activations feature Mathilde Lubac-Quittet, Gaël Rigaud and Julie Savoie, and the work unfolds with a playful, quietly unsettling tone. A co-production realised with Antigel.

28 October – 9 April

Double Jeu is a sharp, playful improvisation show built around strategy, split-second choices and mutual misdirection. Each performer receives a secret mission and must weave it discreetly into the action, turning every scene into a live game of influence, bluff and comic escalation. The result is fast, unpredictable theatre where the ensemble’s timing, listening and inventiveness keep the audience guessing until the very last exchange.

17 September – 18 December

Created by Manon Bril and Etienne Lautrette and directed by Théo Comby Lemaitre, this hybrid lecture-performance blends scholarly rigour with theatrical wit. Historian Manon Bril guides the audience through surprising episodes of human history, overturning assumptions with a sharp, offbeat humour and playful staging. The show mixes clear popular-science explanation, theatrical images and comic timing to reveal that nothing has “always been like this”.

A comic lecture-show that makes the DISC method accessible through four colourful characters: Roger (the Dominant), Justine (the Influential), Virginie (the Stable) and Bernard (the Conscientious). Blending theatre and practical pedagogy, the performance uses humour and concrete tools to illuminate behavioural styles and improve interpersonal and professional communication. Adaptable for corporate conferences or public audiences, it balances lively sketches with clear takeaways to help participants recognise their patterns and communicate more effectively.

28 – 31 October

Centred on Sami Bernath’s embodied memories, this performance mixes Swiss popular songs, rhythmic gestures and the traditional Löffelä spoon percussion to transform everyday motions into sound. Through repetition, deformation and rhythmic saturation, familiar motifs become permeable, revealing buried and repressed memories beneath the Swiss mountains. The staging is intimate and ritualistic, alternating fragile vocal fragments and percussive textures to probe memory and collective inheritance.

29 October – 8 November

Adapted freely from Maryse Condé and Emily Brontë, this theatrical adaptation follows Razyé and Cathy across three generations in a post-emancipation Guadeloupe. Directed by Anne Monfort, the production probes themes of racism, passion, pride, social violence, vengeance and fatalism through a visceral, rhythmic staging. The ensemble uses sparse, evocative design and intense physical interplay to reveal how inherited trauma shapes desire and retribution.

In French.

29 October – 1 November

Led by Ahmed Madani and a troupe of young performers, this vibrant, joyful performance gathers choir, intimate video narratives, dance, live music and the sonic textures of protests in an interactive agora. The staging blends collective singing, personal testimony and physical theatre to explore youth engagement, solidarity and the emergence of shared pathways. The piece is electrifying and tender, inviting audiences into an energetic communal experience.
