Directed by Françoise Courvoisier, this production of Anton Chekhov’s Oncle Vania — translated by Arthur Adamov — assembles a committed ensemble (Vincent Bonillo, Pierre Dubey, Bérangère Mastrangelo, Patricia Mollet-Mercier, Clarisse Morizot, Pierre Omer, Juliana Samarine, Edmond Vuilloud) to explore love, the passage of time and illusions lost. The staging, created with scenographer Gilbert Maire and painter André Kasper, uses Rinaldo Del Boca’s lighting, Pierre Omer’s music and Nicolas Le Roy’s sound to evoke both the comedy and the terrifying humanity of Chekhov.

Two musical worlds, one raw intensity. Grungehog revives the visceral spirit of 1990s Seattle, drawing on the legacy of Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden and Alice in Chains to deliver honest, unadorned rock driven by gritty riffs and emotional vocals. Supporting trio Gédéon offers groovy folk-rock with seventies echoes, singing in French and Spanish; acoustic guitar, banjo, dobro and percussion weave an intimate, hypnotic sound. The evening balances electric intensity with organic tenderness.
