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.

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.

Directed by Rémi Dufay, D’amour et d’eau fraîche is a stage adventure that celebrates movement, friendship and the unforeseen. Rémi Dufay and his ensemble probe margins and fragile frames, staging situations that slip away in a deliberately unsteady ceremony. The production blurs reality and magic, carrying the audience through a joyful, rocambolic wandering. A lively, generous performance that refuses stillness and favours continual transformation.
