Le Truc sur le feu is a playful, offbeat fable that examines how the domestication of fire shaped human life. Written by Romane Nicolas, the piece stages two Paleolithic clans who wonder, clash and ignite as puppets by the Kokoschka tradition bring grotesque situations to life. With incisive humour and sharp theatricality, the show confronts ideas of progress, individuality versus community, animality and civilisation, offering a vividly staged reflection on the choices that set societies alight.

Two short plays by Anton Chekhov staged by Tibor Ockenfels and Flavie Tapparel, presented as compact dramatic machines where romantic comedy masks escalating confrontations between desire, affection and material interest. Performances rely on precise physical timing, terse exchanges and a lean, playful design to reveal the simmering violence behind courtship rituals. The three actors — Estelle Bridet, Matteo Prandi and Raphaël Vachoux — inhabit heightened character types that shift between farce and darker comic truth, creating a sharply observed, kinetic evening.

Five bodies in a landscape of ash prepare for what they do not yet know. Guided by cephalopod imagery, the performers move between intention and intuition, thought and sensation. This optimistic piece probes our anxieties while championing collective resilience and childish wonder. The choreography blends precise ensemble composition with impulsive, instinctive gestures, creating intimate, atmospheric tableaux. Lighting and sound sculpt a fragile, shifting world that invites viewers into a shared experience of uncertainty and hope.

Nos voisins artificiels stages a tense, intimate theatrical exploration of human relationships in the age of technology. A focused ensemble navigates shifting boundaries between empathy and estrangement through precise physicality, fragmented dialogue and luminous stagecraft. The piece blends dark humour with moments of quiet vulnerability, relying on carefully designed lighting and minimalist sets to heighten emotional textures. Audience members are invited to witness ambiguous intimacy and the uncanny rhythms of contemporary coexistence.

Jeremy Crausaz invites the audience into a family celebration where laughter collides with reproach and affection sits uneasily beside rivalry. His sharp observations blend nostalgia, jealousy and everyday absurdities, with failed desserts, conversations that derail and blunt political tangents all delivered with a humane, comic eye. The show mines recognition and discomfort, offering intimate sketches that often reflect the viewer back at themselves, provocative and tender in equal measure.

Directed by Céline Goormaghtigh and written by Anne Berest, LA VISITE probes maternal instinct with sharp humour and urgent intensity. In a compact domestic setting, a young mother at the limits of endurance confronts visitors while her defenses dissolve; a trio of actresses whirl and collide, delivering a caustic torrent of language and revealing movement. The work explores ‘matraissance’—the birth of motherhood—balancing lucidity, rage and tenderness to unsettle familiar myths about maternal bliss.
