18 – 27 September

Directed by Jérôme Bel, this collectively created theatre piece is written and performed by children aged 8 to 14. The work unfolds through improvisation, playful imagination and a celebration of creative freedom, inviting an immediate, joyful stage presence. The ensemble’s spontaneous scenes and open-ended dramaturgy emphasize collaboration and risk, offering spectators an intimate encounter with youthful authorship and theatrical experiment.

In French.

24 – 27 September

Choreographed by Valeska Romero Curiqueo, Pewma (Mapudungun for “dream”) weaves dance, performance, live sound and poetry to trace transmissions between bodies. The piece confronts peripheral, wounded and violently marked identities through ritualized gestures and sensual collisions, invoking Venus as a figure of omen, destruction and rebirth. Live violin, synthesizers and vocals shape a tense, luminous soundscape as bodies dissolve and reconstitute, staging desire, friction and collective memory.

24 September – 7 October

Directed and performed by Eve Aouizerate, Amours subversives stages a wry, intimate interrogation of gender and desire. With performers Mathilde Lyon and Dylan Poletti, the piece pivots on a provocative premise — a young woman’s decision to abandon a nascent career for the tradwife ideal — and unfolds as a personal theatrical essay on power, intimacy and the contradictions of femininity in 2026. Sparse staging and candid narration create a fierce, tender atmosphere.

In French.

25 September – 18 October

For his final production as a theatre director, Jean Liermier revisits Tennessee Williams’s autobiographical classic about memory, longing and family. Set in the 1930s American South, the staging gathers a company around Laura, here embodied by Aurélia Thierrée, with Cyprien Colombo, David Gobet and Clotilde Mollet completing the ensemble. Liermier’s direction emphasises fragile interiors and poetic movement, offering a liberating, weightless atmosphere that balances tenderness and uneasy nostalgia.

In French.

25 – 26 September

Myriam Baroukh dismantles the checklist of modern life — exams, steady jobs, marriage, children, mortgages — to ask what remains once the boxes are ticked. With sharp, intimate stand-up, she navigates happiness, antidepressants, a difficult birth, artificial intelligence, urban wildlife and the strain of care and exile. Her voice mixes wry observation and emotional honesty, turning personal setbacks into wry, human comedy. Her rapid-fire anecdotes and unexpected images keep the audience off-balance, exploring empathy and absurdity.

In French.

25 – 27 September

Festival d’automne presents a programme of intimate organ and ensemble concerts exploring timbre, ritual and storytelling. Highlights include the electro-acoustic duo “Tuyaux et ondes” with Jacques Tchamkerten (ondes Martenot) and Vincent Thévenaz (organ), a narrated Mexican legend featuring Zeltzin Pérez and Diego Galicia Suárez, and a musical portrait celebrating Lionel Rogg with Anne Page, David Titterington, Alessio Corti and the choir Cantus Laetus led by Natacha Casagrande. The series favours reflective atmospheres and virtuosic instrumental colour.
