Une Heure Tonifiante

Une Heure Tonifiante is a live show that teeters on the brink of collapse: technical glitches, awkward moments, conflicts and wild sketches push the production toward delightful disorder. Facing the pressure of a possible private takeover, the cast tries to salvage the programme, but every effort fuels further chaos. In a kitsch, absurd and joyful universe, the performance turns mishaps into feats and celebrates imperfection. The staging is playful, participatory and relentlessly comic.

REQUIEM POUR DU POGNON is a musical comedy that unfolds as a blackly comic inheritance farce.

Songs, ensemble numbers and moments of karaoke expose secrets, rivalries and petty betrayals, shifting between biting satire and tender absurdity while the stage pulses with chaotic, carnival-like energy.

Presented as a season manifesto, Les Racines du Ciel is a reflective text by Eric Devanthéry that probes the weight of words and collective imaginaries in an accelerated history. It frames the stage as both bulwark and site of shared, engaged human experience, calling to preserve margins against logics of productivity and control. The essay evokes the season’s diverse pieces — from À l’aune to Orlando — and insists on culture as necessity. A transcription and a SoundCloud excerpt accompany the text.
