Told as a solo performance, this piece follows a woman as she remembers the films that shaped her life and blurs the line between cinema and memory. Through references to science-fiction sagas and cinematic archetypes — the woman-soldier, the survivor, the reluctant mother — the show probes identity, fear of change and the ways stories migrate from screen to skin. Sparse staging and intimate narration create a haunting, introspective atmosphere.

The performers invite laughter through self-mockery and shared recognition, balancing fragility and spirited resilience. Staging privileges rhythm and gesture, creating a warm, bittersweet atmosphere that observes the world through playful yet clear‑eyed humour.

Fiona G. brings a razor-sharp solo hour of dark, observational stand-up that mixes Swiss deadpan with Parisian stage instincts. Fluent in several languages and armed with a precise sarcasm, she navigates subjects from everyday rituals to taboo topics with a playful cruelty and agile improvisation. The piece is a work-in-progress that plays with ego, irony and timing, offering unpredictable moments that pivot between biting malice and sudden tenderness.

Claudine (j’aime pas l’bonheur) is a re-creation by Marjolaine Minot that probes the ambivalence of happiness through intimate theatrical language. The piece blends restrained physicality and lyrical monologue to map memory, longing and domestic disquiet. Minimal scenic devices and attentive sound design carve spaces of emotion, while a small ensemble negotiates shifts between humour and melancholy. The production favours fragile gestures and precise rhythms to evoke an uneasy, poetic atmosphere.

Follow Zuza, a bold little girl whose everyday moments swell into grand adventures: she eats while flying, grows larger than the planet when angry, and finds a loyal crocodile companion. The itinerant show mixes short tales and a parade using giant, human-size and miniature puppets, low-tech screen effects and masked dance. Playful and richly imagined, it invites families to move with the story and share moments of wonder and emotion.
