Directed by Cyril Teste, this restless adaptation of Anton Chekhov’s Platonov concentrates the action into a single, simmering night. Teste blends cinema and theatre, letting the camera trace fragments of conversations, music and the shifting paths of desire and solitude. Around the melancholy misanthrope Micha, an ensemble confronts money, regret and incomprehension as frustrations and longings are amplified by summer heat and drink. The staging is at once filmic and theatrical, precise and emotionally porous.

The play “Judith,” elevated by masterful language, delves into the depths of desire through an intriguing and intimate setting. Directed by Gabriel Alvarez and featuring Clara Brancorsini, Justine Ruchat, and Soufiane Guerraoui, the performance presents a gripping duel between Judith, a young widow, and Holopherne, an enemy general. This battle, where territorial stakes interweave with personal desires, examines the boundaries between ideology and bodily impulses, in a confrontation where words both soothe and sting.

Actor Samuel Labarthe turns Nicolas Bouvier’s fever-drenched memoir The Scorpion-Fish into a hypnotic, miniaturist tour de force: marooned in 1950s Ceylon after a headlong road trip from Geneva through the Balkans and Afghanistan, the once-ebullient traveller spirals into tropical delirium, trading human company for buzzing insects, mirage-bright visions and mordant humour that flits between the sublime and the grotesque. Under Catherine Schaub’s finely gauged direction, Labarthe channels both the lush lyricism and the slow-burn torment of this “motionless voyage,” distilling Bouvier’s languid prose into a tactile, rejuvenating elixir that lets the audience feel every bead of sweat, jolt of wonder and sting of isolation.

21 January – 7 February

Inspired by the accounts of women mountaineers, this performance intertwines mountaineering, feminism, and ecology.
