Written by Penda Diouf and staged by Evelyne Castellino, LA GRANDE OURSE is an ecofeminist fable that traces a mother’s descent after a minor incident becomes criminalized. Combining video, choreographed movement and choral voices, the piece weaves police violence, racism and sexism into a hallucinatory, dystopian world where omnipresent surveillance watches every gesture. As the heroine reconnects with ancestral nature by transforming into a bear, the production evokes animal survival instinct, collective gossip and the fragile line between humanity and wildness, offering a visceral, poetic reflection on power and resistance.

Performed by Édouard Louis and directed by Thomas Ostermeier, this terse, unflinching monologue examines the premature exhaustion of a father’s body and traces the social forces that shaped it. A sequence of fragments alternates indignation, vengeance and abiding tenderness. Nina Wetzel’s scenography, Caroline Tavernier’s costumes and Erich Schneider’s lighting frame a stark, intimate staging, while Sylvain Jacques’ music and the dramaturgy of Florian Borchmeyer and Élisa Leroy shape its rhythm.

Choreographed by Belgian Piet Van Dycke, Beyond gathers six performers from dance, acrobatics and pole dance in a striking physical theatre exploring balance, risk and collective support. With unstable ladders and shifting footholds, the company sculpts moments of tension, lift and lyrical force, turning acrobatic feats into a poetic meditation on cooperation and human connection. The piece blends athleticism and tenderness, offering a visually bold yet intimate investigation of how bodies meet and build bridges above the void. Produced within Steps festival.

24 March – 12 April

Directed by Marie Wyler and adapted from Violaine Bérot’s novel, Comme des bêtes follows a man nicknamed “the Bear” whose difference unsettles a mountain village after a child is sighted near his cave. Performed by Marie Probst, Marie Ruchat, Alexandra Tiedemann and David Casada, the piece mixes elements of folk tale and detective narrative to probe mutual taming between humans and other forms of life. Giulia Muniz’s costumes, David Kretonic’s lighting and Rudy Deceliere’s sound design build a tense, mysterious atmosphere that questions the limits of rationality.
