Moomin et la comète

An intimate stage adaptation of Tove Jansson’s beloved tale, Moomin and the Comet follows Moomin and his friends on a lyrical journey toward the Observatory of Lonely Hills. Through poetry, gentle absurdity and warmth, the production explores wonder in the face of the unknown, the bonds of friendship, and the small rituals that sustain us — music, shared meals and simple comforts. Designed for family audiences from 7 years old, the piece favours atmosphere, careful staging and heartfelt ensemble work.

Presented as a season manifesto, Les Racines du Ciel is a reflective text by Eric Devanthéry that probes the weight of words and collective imaginaries in an accelerated history. It frames the stage as both bulwark and site of shared, engaged human experience, calling to preserve margins against logics of productivity and control. The essay evokes the season’s diverse pieces — from À l’aune to Orlando — and insists on culture as necessity. A transcription and a SoundCloud excerpt accompany the text.

REQUIEM POUR DU POGNON is a musical comedy that unfolds as a blackly comic inheritance farce. After the death of wealthy entrepreneur Marcel, a large, fractious family gathers to read the will: a humiliated widow, a lovesick secretary, an avaricious mistress, a dull son, neurotic daughters and grasping cousins. Songs, ensemble numbers and moments of karaoke expose secrets, rivalries and petty betrayals, shifting between biting satire and tender absurdity while the stage pulses with chaotic, carnival-like energy.
