Sur le temps

Booking Required

Sur Le Temps brings together Ensemble Batida, a contemporary trio of percussionists (Alexandra Bellon, Anne Briset, Jeanne Larrouturou), and the vocal quartet Contre le Temps, whose female voices specialise in medieval repertoire. The programme juxtaposes organum with open improvisation, exploring the distance between a centuries‑old vocal practice and an intensified attention to the present. The first part presents organum; later the musicians engage in improvised encounters that blur historical and contemporary sound worlds.

The project is organised by Ensemble Vide, an interdisciplinary platform for contemporary music and artistic research.

Succès Reprise is a sparkling vaudeville that blurs the line between theatrical comedy and the comedy of everyday life. A charming love triangle performed by a tight trio of actors unfolds through rapid-fire exchanges, physical gags and shifting misunderstandings. The staging favours bright pace and playful timing, delivering light-hearted warmth while revealing awkward human impulses and social foibles. The piece leaves a lingering smile and a sense of affectionate irony.

Molière’s Tartuffe tells the story of a slick con-man who hides behind ostentatious piety to worm his way into the wealthy Orgon household. Orgon, dazzled by Tartuffe’s sanctimonious rhetoric, defends him even as the impostor’s hypocrisy poisons family bonds and pushes the household toward ruin.

Director Jean Liermier underscores how, in Molière’s work, the female characters serve as the moral compass and spark of resistance, a beacon of hope against oppression. Staged on a stark, minimalist set that exposes the family’s rigid tensions—and featuring Gilles Privat as an unbending Orgon—this production highlights the play’s continuing resonance in a world beset by egotism, fanaticism, and conspiracy thinking. The central question remains timeless: will society keep falling for Tartuffe’s brand of seductive deceit?

In French. Ages 12 and up.

3 – 15 March

Revived by director Ninon Fachard after the original staging by Véronique Ros de la Grange, this solo piece stars Jacques Michel with Caroline Gasser as the prompter. Lighting by Rinaldo Del Boca and music by Alain Lamarche carve intimate, shadowed spaces around a red sequined curtain. Makeup by Natalia Lepianka and costumes by Emilie Revel shape the fading glamour of a music‑hall star who soliloquises, recalls past glory and loss, and sings in playback—an inward plunge toward memory and survival.

Set beneath a neon restaurant sign in a Tirana suburb, this non-verbal theatrical-musical performance stages a son’s interior journey. Mario Banushi invites memories and nostalgia to confront the absence of his father, a cook and tavern owner. Fragmented scenes shift between everyday domesticity and hallucinatory tableaux, exploring grief, silence and unspoken bonds through physicality, music and evocative staging. The work balances intimacy and ritual, drawing the audience into a sparse, haunting world.
