Marthe Keller and pianist Fabrizio Chiovetta present an intimate evening where literature and music converse with delicacy. Keller’s expressive recitation brings to life selected texts by Robert Walser, while Chiovetta’s interpretations of classical and romantic piano repertoire respond with subtlety. The program weaves lyrical prose and piano timbres to create a meditative, luminous atmosphere, inviting attentive listening and reflection.
Four performers embody testimonies from different generations in Sept, situated at the crossroads of dance and film. Between intimate confidences and tender tableaux, the piece examines how age shapes us and stages a delicate exploration of what growing older means, revealing a shared humanity. The staging shifts between projected images and live bodies, weaving visual and physical layers to create an experience that is both poetic and unsettling.
Amants à mi-temps explores the rhythms of contemporary relationships through intimate theatrical language. A compact cast shifts perspectives with precise staging, subtle movement and a keen sense of timing. The piece balances tenderness and irony, employing spare scenic touches and atmospheric lighting to expose the quiet negotiations and small compromises of love. The result is both poignant and wry, rendered with close attention to rhythm and tone.

Created by Manon Bril and Etienne Lautrette and directed by Théo Comby Lemaitre, this hybrid lecture-performance blends scholarly rigour with theatrical wit. Historian Manon Bril guides the audience through surprising episodes of human history, overturning assumptions with a sharp, offbeat humour and playful staging. The show mixes clear popular-science explanation, theatrical images and comic timing to reveal that nothing has “always been like this”.

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.

Area Jeune Ballet and Equilibrio Dinamico bring together four choreographic visions in an evening shaped by encounter, identity and the expressive force of the body. Under the artistic direction of Guillaume Chevalier-Siard and Roberta Ferrara, the programme features works by Nnamdi Nwagwu, Édouard Hue and Rossana Caldarera. From intimate introspection to collective tension, the dancers move through contrasting energies, with music that deepens the emotional charge of each piece.
Choreographer Lenio Kaklea responds to a 2023 commission from Le Commun with a layered performance that transforms Diana Ross’s “I’m Coming Out” into a study of queer visual histories. A preceding video, An Alphabet for the Camera (from Analphabète, 2017), presents a catalogue of danced figures where each phrase functions as a sign. Drawing on queer artists and scenographers, the work traces how collective memory and perception teach us to love the female body through animated, ritualised gestures.
