After 13 years, the duo The Dreams — Armelle and Nafi — return to the stage with a brief reformation revisiting songs from Heimat, Noir Boy George, Crack und Ultra Eczema, Badaboum, Scorpion Violente and Le Chômage. Their sound blends cold‑wave textures with tropical grooves and reggae undertones, evoking connections to Suicide, Slits, Sonic Youth, Bob Marley and The Police. Their sole album Morbido (2011), reissued by Replica Records/La face cachée, frames a dark, luminous minimal pop.
Mariés au premier ringard is a sharp, character-driven theatrical comedy that dissects the absurdities of modern relationships with warmth and irony. The staging favors close ensemble interaction, a lean scenography and precise lighting that underline shifting loyalties and comic misunderstandings. Moments of tenderness puncture the satire, inviting reflection on intimacy, identity and the small rituals of coupling. It balances humour and poignancy to produce a lively theatrical pulse.

Text by Alain Guyard, Sacco & Vanzetti is a tense two-hander performed by Jean‑Pierre Bugnon and Sylvain Bugnon under the direction of Pierre Lericq. The piece reconstructs the 1927 trial and execution of Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti, exploring themes of injustice, xenophobia and political manipulation. Sparse staging, precise physicality and a gallery of corrupt witnesses and officials create a claustrophobic atmosphere that interrogates power, prejudice and the costs of dissent.

Le train, directed by Joséphine de Weck and produced by Opus 89, stages a tense solo journey of a woman fleeing a controlling relationship. The text, breathless and fragmentary, follows her search for refuge as it probes longing, codependence and the politics of care. The staging is intimate and sensory, combining sparse language with live sound. The programme also includes a writing workshop and a concert by L’Amour du ciel.

Bold and poetic, “Insuline” is a powerful denouncement of virilist and heteronormative excesses. Combining the sharp words of Lou Lepori, the music of Marc Berman, and the performance of Cédric Leproust, this fiery recital challenges conventions and unspoken norms. This queer show, driven by tumultuous and subversive expression, celebrates a body that rejects imposed normality.

Created collectively by the company À l’Ouest with Guillaume Pidancet, this inventive staging reimagines Charles Perrault’s Bluebeard for families. Performed in a mobile truck‑theatre that becomes a ‘suitcase of dreams,’ the production blends playful storytelling, poetic imagery and close‑up interaction to transform a dark tale into a gentle exploration of curiosity and trust. The intimate ensemble features Pierre Boulben, Hugo Braillard and Loubna Raigneau.

An opening celebration that inaugurates the new Estrade Sonore and the participatory Art & Inclusion project.

Le Horla adds additional sonic textures, while Artemisia offers culinary creations that echo wild, forest flavours. The evening unfolds as immersive, communal listening and experimental conviviality.
