Presented by Les AMAZONES à la Julienne, this satirical comedy upends fairy-tale logic to expose social conventions. A distinguished lecturer’s attempt to rehabilitate classic tales unravels as a sarcastic Witch dismantles founding myths, and heroines from Cinderella to Snow White rebel, bore themselves or awaken sexually. Mixing social satire, dark comedy and biting poetry, the piece stages wild reversals where prey become predators, yielding a hilarious yet cruel portrait of a post–fairy‑tale world that unsettles as it amuses.

Performed and choreographed by Eugénie Rebetez, COMEBACK is a solo exploration of artistic, female and maternal identity. On stage she shifts through extravagant costumes and a blend of choreography, song and gesture, crafting scenic images that are both poetic and comic. The work moves between introspection and humour, intertwining contemporary dance and stand-up rhythms to question the artist’s status. Co-produced by Tanzhaus Zürich, Casino Théâtre de Rolle, Théâtre Boulimie and LE POCHE, it offers an intimate, unsettling and hilarious journey.

Chekhov’s Ivanov follows Nikolai Ivanov, a middling Russian landowner crushed by debt and by the slow decline of his wife, Anna Petrovna, who is dying of tuberculosis. Across four acts, his inertia curdles into melancholy and self-destruction, swinging between biting comedy and harrowing despair. Written in a ten-day burst in 1887, when Chekhov was only twenty-seven, the play crackles with youthful urgency as tragedy and humor intertwine.

Director–actor Jean-François Sivadier infuses this new staging with his distinctive theatrical energy, pairing veteran performers with fresh faces to reignite the play’s original heat. Echoing Gustav Mahler’s dictum that “tradition is not the worship of ashes, but the preservation of fire,” the production seeks to keep Chekhov’s raw, combustible spirit blazing on today’s stage.

In French. Ages 16 and up. 

6 – 10 May

Performed by six dancers and accompanied by a live musician, A l’aune invites a slow choreographic promenade through the re-vegetated spaces of the Aire. The work examines ecosystems, adaptability and interdependence via intimate group interactions and material, site-conscious movement. The staging cultivates close listening between bodies and sound, producing a tactile, contemplative atmosphere that reflects cycles of growth, decay and mutual care.
