Le train, directed by Joséphine de Weck and produced by Opus 89, stages a tense solo journey of a woman fleeing a controlling relationship. The text, breathless and fragmentary, follows her search for refuge as it probes longing, codependence and the politics of care. The staging is intimate and sensory, combining sparse language with live sound. The programme also includes a writing workshop and a concert by L’Amour du ciel.

Choreographer Cindy Van Acker brings Iannis Xenakis’s Pléïades to the stage, assembling five dancers, six percussionists from the Eklekto collective and a large percussion arsenal. Van Acker shapes a moving percussion landscape where bodies confront the score’s power and complexity, constantly shifting posture and relation to sound. Music is played live; scenography and lighting by Victor Roy frame waves, galaxies and whirlwinds in a rigorous, visceral performance. Creation 2026; coproduction.
