Promenade Obligatoire

Choreographer Anne Nguyen, rooted in breakdance battles and informed by scientific studies, rebuilds hip‑hop vocabulary with a mathematical sensuality. Promenade Obligatoire stages an uninterrupted, ordered march across the performance space that becomes a meditation on life’s meaning and the passage of time. Popping—blocks, isolations and body dissociations—sharpens contrasts between rupture and mimicry. The explosive, precise gestures transform the inexorable walk into a hypnotic, transportive experience that explores repetition, synchronization and the poetry of everyday movement.

With brave, clever ropes and found objects she moves from one idea to the next, sometimes wild, sometimes stubborn, slowly assembling a surprising structure. Children will watch materials cooperate or resist, feel the rhythm of making, and wonder whether everything will collapse or turn into accidental genius. A lively, physical performance that celebrates imagination, trial and joyful experimentation.

Performed by Bastien Blanchard and Antoine Courvoisier, Le Promptu is a playful cabaret-style show of rapid-fire impressions and musical mimicry.

The staging favors brisk pacing and witty contrast, inviting laughter and recognition while spotlighting craft and interplay. The performance balances affectionate pastiche with sharp observational detail.

But what is “reality”?
A forgotten cassette in a tape recorder becomes the key to a journey through time.
Two coworkers, Kurt and Willard, are plunged into the heart of an unprecedented psychiatric experiment where delirium and lucidity intertwine.

They must piece together a puzzle that will lead them to the very edge of madness. “Why are you so angry? …Because all of a sudden I was taking control of something? …Huh? Until now you were used to completely controlling the situation, and now this strangeness has crept into your life…”

In French.

4 July – 29 August
