Alice Laloy crafts a dystopian world where two champions compete using mechanical avatars in challenges inspired by everyday life. Blending video games, visual arts, circus, and puppetry, the show features virtuoso performers—acrobats, singers, contortionists, and dancers—who captivate and unsettle the audience. The work questions contemporary power dynamics and our capacity for revolt and change.

Hend Jouda performs a powerful Arabic reading that traces the experience of war, precarity and the fragile hope of renewal. Her voice, carried among intimate anecdotes and universal gestures, fragments everyday life while carving a poetic space. Translator and collaborator Henri Jules Julien provides a reflective translation and outside perspective, and Youness Atbane shapes the sound environment to heighten textures and silence. Presented with French surtitles, the performance balances urgency and tenderness.

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.

Ingrid Hansen, a puppet artist from the Jim Henson Company (Fraggle Rock, Sesame Workshop), stages a surreal cabaret of illusions and absurd comedy. The variety show is led by Florence, a mischievous grandmother figure, and mixes bold cinematic video, close‑ups of everyday objects projected large, puppetry and daring sleights to create impertinent, often erotic vignettes. The piece juxtaposes tactile puppet performance with live filmic effects to produce surprising, humorous and uncanny moments.
