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.

Based on the Jekyll myth, this theatrical adaptation examines metamorphosis as both physical and social, probing identity, gender and the boundary between good and male/female. Stark black-and-white staging and chiaroscuro lighting evoke twilight and old horror films, while a persistent, slicing fog thickens the atmosphere. The venerable Dr Jekyll’s unsettling experiments unfold in a late-19th-century London laboratory, and his circle is drawn into mounting anguish as transformations accelerate.

Spiritist, improvisatory theatre that unfolds like a forbidden confession. In a bare room lit by pale light, a former asylum director faces the camera and speaks in a voice at once calm and unnerving. Memory, guilt and hallucination interlace as fragments of institutional history—erased files, unclaimed patients—resurface and unmake narrative coherence. The staging relies on sparse set and stark lighting to heighten claustrophobic intimacy, inviting a slow, disquieting immersion in the uncanny.

Lapin Lapin is a compassionate comedy that follows a large, eccentric family living in extreme poverty. Directed by Sarah Marcuse, the staging centers on Mama Lapin’s courage and optimism. Through rocambolesque episodes, the piece blends sharp social critique with warm humour and resilient affection. Khaled Khoury’s scenography and Loane Ruga’s lighting shape an intimate, expressive world, while an ensemble cast delivers vivid, tender performances.

Curated by Frédéric Post and Sonia Perego, MOS ESPA offers an unplugged, immersive festival framed as a barefoot, cocoon-like listening experience. The program features performances by Léna Hiriartborde, Yann Leguay, Julian Sartorius, Pali Meursault and others, blending field recordings, amplified objects, acoustic traditions and electronic textures. Site-specific installations and wooden instruments crafted by a participating maker lend a handcrafted intimacy, while sparse lighting and spatialised sound create close, contemplative atmospheres that favour shared, intense musical moments.
Mos_Espa is a project best experienced barefoot, in socks, slippers, or leather boots. You will be asked to leave your shoes and phone in the cloakroom. For this edition without electricity, credit card payments will not be accepted; cash only.
Pères is a poetic ensemble piece directed by Lefki Papachrysostomou that interrogates fatherhood today. Texts by Julie Annen, Nicolas Tavaglione and Miguel Fernandez‑V are embodied by four actors — Dimitri Anzules, Angelo Dell’Aquila, Serge Martin and Jef Saintmartin — and framed by an all‑female creative team. Lighting by Claire Firmann, sound by Frédérique Jarabo and costumes by Lys Tell shape intimate scenes that alternate tenderness, duty and strain. The work explores filiation, grief and gratitude with rigorous stagecraft and quiet intensity.
