Michel Foucault (1926-1984)

Booking Required

An imaginative performance-lecture exploring Michel Foucault’s thought on bodies, subjectivation and objectivation. Through text, movement and poetic provocation, two performers weave fragments from Foucault’s essays and courses into a sensory investigation of how bodies become knowledge and how knowledge shapes bodies. The evening blends rigorous ideas with physical experimentation, inviting playful encounters with archives, voice and gesture. Melissa Cascarino and Martin Rueff bring their fourth collaboration to a compact, provocative rendez-vous with thought and flesh.

In French.

Coraline Parmentier presents Kitab al Kanuz, a film-concert blending piano, electronic timbres and Middle Eastern soundscapes.

Collaborator Bager Sen contributes mantra compositions and aksak rhythms, rooted in ancestral meters. The piece balances cinematic imagery and intimate ritual, inviting an immersive, pulse-driven listening experience.

Directed by Rémi Dufay, D’amour et d’eau fraîche is a stage adventure that celebrates movement, friendship and the unforeseen. Rémi Dufay and his ensemble probe margins and fragile frames, staging situations that slip away in a deliberately unsteady ceremony. The production blurs reality and magic, carrying the audience through a joyful, rocambolic wandering. A lively, generous performance that refuses stillness and favours continual transformation.

Frank Martin’s opera La Tempête, after Shakespeare with a libretto by August Wilhelm von Schlegel and Johann Ludwig Tieck, returns in a new French-language production.
