“To Hell with War!” is a satirical parody of “Ubu Roi” by the Studio d’Action Théâtrale, under the direction of Gabriel Alvarez.

Théâtricul

The show “7-8 Jean-François,” crafted by Alexandra Tiedemann and Céline Goormaghtigh, tells the story of a middle-aged man, disillusioned with life. Following his doctor’s advice to make a change, he enrolls in a disco dance class.

Boxe Boxe Brasil

Performances

La Cité Bleue

Created by visionary choreographer Mourad Merzouki, this show reimagines the iconic Boxe Boxe by Compagnie Käfig and the Debussy Quartet. It explores the connections between dance, boxing, and classical music, infused with the vibrant energy of Brazil. The result is a unique stage experience blending hip-hop dance, boxing movements, and classical music enriched by Carioca influences.

The musical score, reworked with the Debussy Quartet, supports this bold fusion. A true choreographic challenge, the performance celebrates dance’s power to transcend genres with infectious energy and boundless creativity. Let the celebration begin!

Un Volcan silencieux

Performances

Théâtre du Loup

In Un volcan silencieux, sociologist and director Diane Muller reconnects with ten former classmates from Dijon, all born in 1979. Through open interviews, she explores how gender, class, and societal expectations have shaped their lives — from romantic ideals to motherhood and solitude. On stage, their voices are transmitted live, creating a powerful, intimate portrait of a generation.

Co-produced with the Les Créatives festival, the piece blends sociology and theatre to map the invisible lines of social determinism.

In French.

The Castafiore Emerald

Performances

Théâtre de Carouge

Back from the ashes like a mischievous phoenix, this stage adaptation of Hergé’s timeless comic hurls Bianca Castafiore’s shrill “Heavens, my jewels!” onto the boards and detonates a riotous, closed-door whodunnit inside the tranquil walls of Moulinsart: red herrings fly, misunderstandings snowball and Tintin’s entire gallery of eccentrics careen through a dazzling, hyper-faithful recreation of the album, where actors vanish into near-unrecognisable guises and the set itself crackles with playful theatrical sleight-of-hand—proof that some productions really do possess a magic, living soul of their own.

In French. Ages 7 and up.
