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.

Two short plays by Anton Chekhov staged by Tibor Ockenfels and Flavie Tapparel, presented as compact dramatic machines where romantic comedy masks escalating confrontations between desire, affection and material interest.

The three actors — Estelle Bridet, Matteo Prandi and Raphaël Vachoux — inhabit heightened character types that shift between farce and darker comic truth, creating a sharply observed, kinetic evening.
