Voir clair avec Monique Wittig

Created by the collective Damechevaliers in collaboration with Gisèle Vienne and featuring Caro Geryl and Adèle Haenel, this evening blends reading, music and performance around Monique Wittig’s thinking. The piece draws on “La pensée straight” and gathers texts by Monique Wittig, Sarah Ahmed, Audre Lorde, Adrienne Rich and Elsa Dorlin to examine gendered hierarchies and the political logics that assign social roles. The staging is intimate and interrogative, mixing voice, sound and performative gestures.

Two short plays by Anton Chekhov staged by Tibor Ockenfels and Flavie Tapparel, presented as compact dramatic machines where romantic comedy masks escalating confrontations between desire, affection and material interest.

The three actors — Estelle Bridet, Matteo Prandi and Raphaël Vachoux — inhabit heightened character types that shift between farce and darker comic truth, creating a sharply observed, kinetic evening.
