Synthetic / Artefact

Booking Required

Choreographed by Tiran Willemse, SYNTHETIC / Artefact expands his investigation of dance history through an afrosurrealist lens. Building on his earlier solos, the ensemble work examines the doll as object and cultural symbol, shifting between realism and artifice. The piece interrogates archives while proposing speculative inventions, foregrounding the beauty and agency of living bodies that resist being reduced to mere objects. A rigorous yet poetic choreography, it blends historical inquiry with sensory, theatrical invention.

Choreographed by Valeska Romero Curiqueo, Pewma (Mapudungun for “dream”) weaves dance, performance, live sound and poetry to trace transmissions between bodies. The piece confronts peripheral, wounded and violently marked identities through ritualized gestures and sensual collisions, invoking Venus as a figure of omen, destruction and rebirth. Live violin, synthesizers and vocals shape a tense, luminous soundscape as bodies dissolve and reconstitute, staging desire, friction and collective memory.

25 September – 18 October

For his final production as a theatre director, Jean Liermier revisits Tennessee Williams’s autobiographical classic about memory, longing and family. Set in the 1930s American South, the staging gathers a company around Laura, here embodied by Aurélia Thierrée, with Cyprien Colombo, David Gobet and Clotilde Mollet completing the ensemble. Liermier’s direction emphasises fragile interiors and poetic movement, offering a liberating, weightless atmosphere that balances tenderness and uneasy nostalgia.

Directed by Rémi Dufay, D’amour et d’eau fraîche is a stage adventure that celebrates movement, friendship and the unforeseen. Rémi Dufay and his ensemble probe margins and fragile frames, staging situations that slip away in a deliberately unsteady ceremony. The production blurs reality and magic, carrying the audience through a joyful, rocambolic wandering. A lively, generous performance that refuses stillness and favours continual transformation.

The programme is virtuosic and festive, rooted in collective joy and sharing, staged with careful mise-en-scène.
