Insuline

Performances

Théâtre le Galpon

Bold and poetic, “Insuline” is a powerful denouncement of virilist and heteronormative excesses. Combining the sharp words of Lou Lepori, the music of Marc Berman, and the performance of Cédric Leproust, this fiery recital challenges conventions and unspoken norms. This queer show, driven by tumultuous and subversive expression, celebrates a body that rejects imposed normality.

Un rapport sur la banalité de l’amour

Performances

Théâtre Alchimic

Directed by François Marin, this intimate staging examines the fraught passion between Martin Heidegger and Hannah Arendt against the moral upheavals of Nazi Germany. Mario Diament’s text, adapted by André Nerman, traces a forbidden love between a philosopher and his student, probing complicity, memory and the struggle to reconcile heart and conscience. Sabrina Martin and Frank Semelet inhabit the roles with spare, intense performances, supported by a precise, austere mise en scène that foregrounds emotional conflict and ethical ambiguity.
