21 – 23 May

Created collectively with SCÈNE ACTIVE, this all-ages performance was devised by around forty young people facing school dropout, guided by a professional artistic team. The Season XI ensemble crafted a fantastical fable exploring friendship, bereavement, addiction, imposed norms, acceptance of difference and consent. Staged in a rich, imaginative world, displaced characters — a demon among mermaids, a princess and a pirate among fairies, a guardian of the fairies in the castle of the Underworld — confront an army of demons as they seek a way home.

Conceived and performed by Claire Michel de Haas, this musical tour traces the evolution of music written for the human voice from ancient Greek fragments to contemporary repertoire. Vocal pieces converse with the collection, juxtaposed with harpsichord, cello and viola da gamba, and piano played by Réjane Buchet, Arbogaste Plantard and Johann Vacher. The programme blends historical timbres and intimate narration, creating a contemplative, tactile soundscape that invites close listening and reimagines the voice as both instrument and storyteller.

12 – 24 May

Written by E.-E. Schmitt, La Tectonique des Sentiments probes how love can turn to hatred in an instant. The plot follows Diane and Richard as imagined betrayals unleash seismic emotional shifts, toppling certainties and stirring violent tenderness. The piece balances sharp comedy and quiet cruelty, dissecting contradictions of desire through intimate exchanges and sudden tremors of feeling. The staging favors psychological clarity and a charged, oscillating atmosphere that leaves the audience unsettled and moved.

21 – 24 May

Les yeux grand fermés is a durational radio-art project presented within a sound art biennial that stages listening as a sculptural practice. Curated by Clara Alloing, Céline Carridroit and Marie Jeanson, the programme gathers archival and contemporary radio creations — broadcasts, podcasts and performative transmissions — into a sequence of listening sessions, performances and nocturnal experiments. Themes of disappearance, mediation and the politics of FM airwaves inform an attentive, darkened setting designed to foreground sonic narratives and the materiality of listening.

Linda Bell presents an intimate durational performance that navigates repetition, memory and materiality. Working across sculptural processes and live intervention, Bell’s practice unfolds through subtle bodily presence, careful pacing and attention to gesture. The performance is presented within the exhibition Methodical Process alongside works by Nnena Kalu and Marie Gyger and realised in collaboration with Action Space, London. The atmosphere is meditative and finely calibrated, inviting close attention to process and detail.

19 – 28 May

Le retour, conceived and performed by Marion Duval and staged by the Chris Cadillac company, blends theatre, clowning and performance. Marion Duval leads a large ensemble including AzuXenia, Adina Secretan and Aram Xwindar, supported by a collaborative creative team. The piece confronts antagonism between species and the collapse of capitalist systems through participatory, physical and often humorous scenes. Sparse, visceral staging and communal moments invite reflection on coexistence and collective responsibility.
