Pas de deux

Performances

“Pas de deux” is a unique “choreo-biography” that delves into the connection between dancer Pascal Gravat and writer Julien Mages, focusing on the passing of time. Through an immersive blend of poetry, dance, and sound art, the duo explores themes of aging, maintaining a youthful spirit, and finding solace in art. At nearly seventy years old, Pascal Gravat uses his body as a dynamic tool of expression, while Julien Mages adds depth with his evocative words. Together, they craft a piece that honors both the fleeting and the everlasting, highlighting how art provides a glimpse of eternity.

Being a Poet in Times of War / Gaza, Oh My Joy

Performances

Bibliothèque de la Cité

Hend Jouda performs a powerful Arabic reading that traces the experience of war, precarity and the fragile hope of renewal. Her voice, carried among intimate anecdotes and universal gestures, fragments everyday life while carving a poetic space. Translator and collaborator Henri Jules Julien provides a reflective translation and outside perspective, and Youness Atbane shapes the sound environment to heighten textures and silence. Presented with French surtitles, the performance balances urgency and tenderness.

L’imposture

Performances

Théâtre Alchimic

Created by Aurélie Hubeau and Lucie Hanoy, L’IMPOSTURE is a comic and poetic exploration of doubt, self-image and belonging. The piece follows a woman who describes herself as too small, obese, ugly and a tomboy, and recounts how she forged an identity in today’s world. Using objects, clothing and puppets manipulated with inventive choreography, the performance weaves humor, poetry and music — from Patrick Bruel to gospel and karaoke — to celebrate difference and question social norms, delivering warmth and poignancy.

In French.

Epidermis Circus

Performances

Théâtre des Marionnettes

Ingrid Hansen, a puppet artist from the Jim Henson Company (Fraggle Rock, Sesame Workshop), stages a surreal cabaret of illusions and absurd comedy. The variety show is led by Florence, a mischievous grandmother figure, and mixes bold cinematic video, close‑ups of everyday objects projected large, puppetry and daring sleights to create impertinent, often erotic vignettes. The piece juxtaposes tactile puppet performance with live filmic effects to produce surprising, humorous and uncanny moments.

Le Tartuffe

Performances

Théâtre de Carouge

Molière’s Tartuffe tells the story of a slick con-man who hides behind ostentatious piety to worm his way into the wealthy Orgon household. Orgon, dazzled by Tartuffe’s sanctimonious rhetoric, defends him even as the impostor’s hypocrisy poisons family bonds and pushes the household toward ruin.

Director Jean Liermier underscores how, in Molière’s work, the female characters serve as the moral compass and spark of resistance, a beacon of hope against oppression. Staged on a stark, minimalist set that exposes the family’s rigid tensions—and featuring Gilles Privat as an unbending Orgon—this production highlights the play’s continuing resonance in a world beset by egotism, fanaticism, and conspiracy thinking. The central question remains timeless: will society keep falling for Tartuffe’s brand of seductive deceit?

In French. Ages 12 and up.
