15 September – 11 October

Directed by Françoise Courvoisier, this production of Anton Chekhov’s Oncle Vania — translated by Arthur Adamov — assembles a committed ensemble (Vincent Bonillo, Pierre Dubey, Bérangère Mastrangelo, Patricia Mollet-Mercier, Clarisse Morizot, Pierre Omer, Juliana Samarine, Edmond Vuilloud) to explore love, the passage of time and illusions lost. The staging, created with scenographer Gilbert Maire and painter André Kasper, uses Rinaldo Del Boca’s lighting, Pierre Omer’s music and Nicolas Le Roy’s sound to evoke both the comedy and the terrifying humanity of Chekhov.

Star Thérapie is a wild, off-kilter musical comedy from the Chrysalide Academy company that turns celebrity worship into absurd obsession. On stage, the affable but unorthodox Professor Westley treats a parade of flamboyant patients whose fixations spiral into surreal, laugh-out-loud situations. The show blends catchy songs, physical comedy and fast-paced theatrical invention to create a delirious, high-energy evening that skewers fandom while celebrating performance and spectacle.

22 September – 4 October

Directed by Nathalie Cuenet and written by Valérie Poirier, Dire adieu is performed by Compagnie Volodia. The piece stages fragmented conversations between a daughter and her mother, probing a quest for recognition and the fragile possibility of reconciliation. Its form recalls the codes of Greek tragedy, using heightened language and concentrated staging to explore memory, silence and unresolved grief. The ensemble creates a tense, intimate atmosphere that makes emotional rupture palpable.

Genth’orgue 3 presents a varied festival exploring the organ in all its guises. Programs range from organ paired with Ondes Martenot (with Vincent Thévenaz and Jacques Tchamkerten), to a cine-concert accompaniment for Buster Keaton curated by Nathalie Effenberger, a recital titled “La scène aux femmes!” (Elisabeth Hubmann), and the theatrical spectacle‑concert “Le banquet des rois” for medieval ensemble, organ, choir and narrators. The emphasis is on timbral contrasts and ritual drama.

25 September – 18 October

For his final production as a theatre director, Jean Liermier revisits Tennessee Williams’s autobiographical classic about memory, longing and family. Set in the 1930s American South, the staging gathers a company around Laura, here embodied by Aurélia Thierrée, with Cyprien Colombo, David Gobet and Clotilde Mollet completing the ensemble. Liermier’s direction emphasises fragile interiors and poetic movement, offering a liberating, weightless atmosphere that balances tenderness and uneasy nostalgia.
