Created and performed by Igor Mamlenkov and directed by Kostya Novitskiy, Kto Tam? is a 60-minute non-verbal visual tragicomedy that explores exile, memory, loneliness and resilience. Through precise movement, object manipulation and evocative shadow play, Mamlenkov animates forgotten belongings into companions, transforming absence into tender, absurd and deeply human encounters. Drawing on Slavic physical theatre traditions, the piece uses gesture and poetic imagery to build a universal, wordless journey into the heart of solitude.

Directed by Gabriel Sparti, Menace Chorale follows an amateur town choir drawn into a tightening ideological mechanism under a charismatic new conductor. The piece uses vocal textures and staged rehearsals to contrast luminous harmonies with the unsettling meanings behind their repertoire, sketching a miniature society where desire, ambition and collective pressure calcify into authoritarian dynamics. Through subtle disruptions, layered readings and meticulous sound and lighting textures, the production feels at once funny, eerie and incisively political.

In French.
