The Bremen Town Musicians

Booking Required

Based on the Brothers Grimm, this musical tale blends chamber music and theatrical storytelling for audiences from seven to 107. Composer Franz Tishhauser’s score for flute, clarinet, oboe, bassoon and piano interweaves with a single actor’s narration and gestures, creating a playful yet poignant sound world. The ensemble’s timbral dialogues shift between bright folk-like motifs and shadowed harmonies, crafting intimate moments of wonder and gentle suspense that invite shared imagination.

Pères

Performances

Théâtricul

Pères is a poetic ensemble piece directed by Lefki Papachrysostomou that interrogates fatherhood today. Texts by Julie Annen, Nicolas Tavaglione and Miguel Fernandez‑V are embodied by four actors — Dimitri Anzules, Angelo Dell’Aquila, Serge Martin and Jef Saintmartin — and framed by an all‑female creative team. Lighting by Claire Firmann, sound by Frédérique Jarabo and costumes by Lys Tell shape intimate scenes that alternate tenderness, duty and strain. The work explores filiation, grief and gratitude with rigorous stagecraft and quiet intensity.

Dr Jekyll and Lady Hyde

Performances

Théâtre Cæcilia

Based on the Jekyll myth, this theatrical adaptation examines metamorphosis as both physical and social, probing identity, gender and the boundary between good and male/female. Stark black-and-white staging and chiaroscuro lighting evoke twilight and old horror films, while a persistent, slicing fog thickens the atmosphere. The venerable Dr Jekyll’s unsettling experiments unfold in a late-19th-century London laboratory, and his circle is drawn into mounting anguish as transformations accelerate.

Ivanov

Performances

Théâtre de Carouge

Chekhov’s Ivanov follows Nikolai Ivanov, a middling Russian landowner crushed by debt and by the slow decline of his wife, Anna Petrovna, who is dying of tuberculosis. Across four acts, his inertia curdles into melancholy and self-destruction, swinging between biting comedy and harrowing despair. Written in a ten-day burst in 1887, when Chekhov was only twenty-seven, the play crackles with youthful urgency as tragedy and humor intertwine.

Director–actor Jean-François Sivadier infuses this new staging with his distinctive theatrical energy, pairing veteran performers with fresh faces to reignite the play’s original heat. Echoing Gustav Mahler’s dictum that “tradition is not the worship of ashes, but the preservation of fire,” the production seeks to keep Chekhov’s raw, combustible spirit blazing on today’s stage.

In French. Ages 16 and up.
