Echec Mycose – Cie Pluton

Performances

Théâtre Saint-Gervais

“Échec Mycose” is a creation by Compagnie Pluton. Alice and Ulysse, a queer duo from rural Switzerland, present a musical inspired by the exclusion of trans women from international women’s chess competitions and Léa Rivière’s poem “Je suis pas trans dans la forêt.” On stage, they explore stories of transitions, whether they be spatial-temporal, chemical, generational, or gender, with a DIY touch. The company aims to provide positive representations of queer paths in a countryside setting, challenging cis-heteropatriarchal norms.

Les cinq roses de Jennifer by Annibale Ruccello

Performances

Maison de quartier des Pâquis

The play “Les cinq roses de Jennifer” explores the solitude and struggle of an individual against dominant discourse. It tells the story of Jennifer, a romantically inclined femminiello, who awaits the eagerly anticipated call from Franco after an unforgettable night together. Each day, she dedicates a song to him while living under the threat of a serial killer targeting transvestites in her 1980s Naples neighborhood. Though seemingly light-hearted, the play powerfully portrays the outsider’s condition and the despair of hiding in order to be accepted. Translated and directed by Daniela Morina Pelaggi, the production is supported by a talented artistic and technical team, and it marks its world premiere in French under the banner of Compagnie Daï Daï Produçao.

In French.
