Soundscapes and simple lighting sculpt nocturnal and intimate atmospheres, while performers shift between storytelling and embodiment. The route alternates between the company’s traditional itinerary and a new underground-themed walk, creating a layered experience of memory, surprise and communal discovery.

Directed as an in situ promenade, this performance follows two protagonists, P. and B., through the city’s hidden seams.

P. slips into the city’s blind spots, picking locks and slipping through barriers to reveal alternative ways of inhabiting public space. The show mixes physical theatre, poetic staging and ecological imagination to explore rewilding, intimacy and civic subversion.

Entrelacés brings together pre-professional students from Dance Area and the Area Jeune Ballet in a two-part programme. The first section traces the history of dance, from ancient ritual forms to the evolution of classical and contemporary vocabularies, evoking centuries of technique and transformation. The second presents three original contemporary works by Juliano Nunes, Ken Ossola (“Un Autre Jour / Another Day”) and Alba Castillo, performed by 42 young dancers exploring vulnerability, resilience and solidarity through intimate and ensemble choreographies.
Directed by François Marin, this intimate staging examines the fraught passion between Martin Heidegger and Hannah Arendt against the moral upheavals of Nazi Germany. Mario Diament’s text, adapted by André Nerman, traces a forbidden love between a philosopher and his student, probing complicity, memory and the struggle to reconcile heart and conscience. Sabrina Martin and Frank Semelet inhabit the roles with spare, intense performances, supported by a precise, austere mise en scène that foregrounds emotional conflict and ethical ambiguity.
