Le bruit des arbres qui tombent

FURTHER AFIELD

Directed by Nathalie Béasse, Le bruit des arbres qui tombent is a poetic stage piece where nature reasserts itself and motion becomes metamorphosis. Four characters’ stories intertwine in a sequence of vividly imagined tableaux that shift the everyday into the extraordinary. Between melancholy and grace, the production blends striking visual composition, touches of absurd humour and sudden joys, probing intimacy, family ties and social constraints through a sensitive, inventive theatrical language.

In French.

Created by Aurélie Hubeau and Lucie Hanoy, L’IMPOSTURE is a comic and poetic exploration of doubt, self-image and belonging. The piece follows a woman who describes herself as too small, obese, ugly and a tomboy, and recounts how she forged an identity in today’s world. Using objects, clothing and puppets manipulated with inventive choreography, the performance weaves humor, poetry and music — from Patrick Bruel to gospel and karaoke — to celebrate difference and question social norms, delivering warmth and poignancy.

Revived by director Ninon Fachard after the original staging by Véronique Ros de la Grange, this solo piece stars Jacques Michel with Caroline Gasser as the prompter. Lighting by Rinaldo Del Boca and music by Alain Lamarche carve intimate, shadowed spaces around a red sequined curtain. Makeup by Natalia Lepianka and costumes by Emilie Revel shape the fading glamour of a music‑hall star who soliloquises, recalls past glory and loss, and sings in playback—an inward plunge toward memory and survival.

A man performs on stage, sharing a personal reflection alongside his family, friends, therapist, colleagues, and ex-partners. In seven acts, he delves into pivotal anecdotes to question gender imperatives from childhood to adulthood. The play, “Le Premier Sexe,” addresses the journey from oppression to emancipation and the shift from toxic masculinity to a distinctive masculine identity. Produced by Compagnie Passages, with Mickaël Délis responsible for both writing and directing, in collaboration with Vladimir Perrin and other artists.

Molière’s Tartuffe tells the story of a slick con-man who hides behind ostentatious piety to worm his way into the wealthy Orgon household. Orgon, dazzled by Tartuffe’s sanctimonious rhetoric, defends him even as the impostor’s hypocrisy poisons family bonds and pushes the household toward ruin.

Director Jean Liermier underscores how, in Molière’s work, the female characters serve as the moral compass and spark of resistance, a beacon of hope against oppression. Staged on a stark, minimalist set that exposes the family’s rigid tensions—and featuring Gilles Privat as an unbending Orgon—this production highlights the play’s continuing resonance in a world beset by egotism, fanaticism, and conspiracy thinking. The central question remains timeless: will society keep falling for Tartuffe’s brand of seductive deceit?

Led by Salvatore Vinci and an ensemble of multi-instrumentalists, this programme presents traditional music from Basilicata, Calabria, Sicily and Sardinia.

Rooted in field research, the performance moves between ritual songs, lively dances and the tarantella’s irresistible momentum, offering vivid, earthy textures and communal intensity.

Collision(s) is a poetic and introspective theatre piece born from the encounter between playwright Catherine Tinivella-Aeschimann and particle physicist Yasmine Amhis (CNRS/CERN). Through a fragmented narrative combining intimate storytelling, to-do lists, scientific inventories and personal reflections, the play follows a young physicist struggling to balance a demanding scientific career with motherhood, while subtly addressing gender equality in STEM fields. This CERN and Château Rouge co-production gently reminds us that behind every scientific breakthrough lies a deeply human story—one that theatre is uniquely equipped to tell.
