La grande sauvegarde

Radio-driven performative fiction that imagines a future eco-dictatorship in 2345, where humans are temporarily caged to allow soil regeneration and the emergence of the Symbiocene. Commissioned within the 6th Biennale intrépide, the piece stages a collective narrative created through workshops with young people, adults and families. Performed with radio interventions and subtle staging, it blends speculative storytelling, communal voices and ritual gestures to provoke reflection and gentle humour.

In French.

Une heure de tranquillité

Performances

Théâtre du Crève-Coeur

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.

D’amour et d’eau fraîche

Performances

Théâtre du Loup

Directed by Rémi Dufay, D’amour et d’eau fraîche is a stage adventure that celebrates movement, friendship and the unforeseen. Rémi Dufay and his ensemble probe margins and fragile frames, staging situations that slip away in a deliberately unsteady ceremony. The production blurs reality and magic, carrying the audience through a joyful, rocambolic wandering. A lively, generous performance that refuses stillness and favours continual transformation.
