Mark of a Woman

Performed by a deaf artist, this solo explores little-known connections between women and diverse tattoo cultures through a choreographic writing that rethinks sound and music. Tattooing becomes memory, mark and a bodily language, revealing stories previously unheard. The piece blends movement, visual composition and tactile registers to invite a different way of seeing and feeling, offering an intimate, embodied reflection on identity, memory and cultural traces.

22 September – 29 November

Two short plays by Anton Chekhov staged by Tibor Ockenfels and Flavie Tapparel, presented as compact dramatic machines where romantic comedy masks escalating confrontations between desire, affection and material interest. Performances rely on precise physical timing, terse exchanges and a lean, playful design to reveal the simmering violence behind courtship rituals. The three actors — Estelle Bridet, Matteo Prandi and Raphaël Vachoux — inhabit heightened character types that shift between farce and darker comic truth, creating a sharply observed, kinetic evening.

In French.

6 – 8 October

Choreographed by María del Mar Suárez (La Chachi), this hybrid flamenco pieces tradition and punk sensibility into a raw, personal language. On stage two musicians and a singer shape a live soundscape that frames La Chachi’s emergence: a dim light reveals her silhouette as she advances and begins an ascension. Her motions coil and break in looping cycles as the music intensifies. Visceral and hypnotic, the performance immerses spectators in concentrated rhythms and fierce corporeal poetry.

Thursday 8 October, 19:00

Two bands take the stage: The Band, channeling raw 1960s–70s rock, and Latin Lovers, offering swing and Latin-infused repertoire. The programme alternates driving electric grooves and warm, danceable rhythms, with musicians trading solos and close harmonies. The sound design favors immediacy and intimacy, letting textures and dynamics shape the evening. It creates a convivial, nocturnal atmosphere where nostalgia meets rhythmic exuberance and live interplay becomes the event’s emotional core.

4 – 13 October

Celebrating Chopin’s lyricism, passion and refinement, this festival presents a sequence of solo recitals, chamber concerts and a dedicated masterclass. Performers include pianists Paweł Wakarecy, Mertol Demirelli, Adam Kałduński, Krzysztof Wierciński and Mateusz Krzyżowski, alongside cellist Marcin Zdunik and the Quintette Éphémère. The programming favours intimate pacing and refined rubato, with attention to phrasing and tonal colour. Expect moments of poetic introspection and virtuosic brilliance, where clear, luminous sound and careful dynamics shape a contemplative, emotionally direct experience.

Thursday 8 October, 20:00

UNDERCOVER is a tight trio of singer-guitarist, bassist and drummer, delivering a high-energy set of cross-generational covers. Their repertoire blends reggae, funk, pop, rock and chanson française, moving from Bob Marley and Marvin Gaye to AC/DC, The Beatles and MC Solaar. The performance alternates driving grooves and soulful breaks, inviting spontaneous interplay and a communal blues jam afterward. The evening emphasizes raw musicianship and the joy of live exchange.

7 – 11 October

Amor follows a forty‑something couple, attached yet weary from routine, confronting unspoken truths and the pull toward emancipation. This intimate, humanist theatre piece probes love’s contradictions—between inherited models and contemporary norms—through subtle staging and concentrated performances. Marjolaine Minot and Guillaume Prin embody the emotional shifts with delicate nuance, drawing the audience into a relational interior where choices, desire and restraint collide.

In French.
