In French.
Text by Erri De Luca. Directed by Barbara Baker and F‑X Fernandez‑Cavada, Impossible unfolds after a man falls from a steep trail in the Dolomites. Blending investigation, memory and love letters, the staging probes guilt, betrayal and political history as two former members of the same terrorist group confront a shared past. The production balances documentary clarity and poetic fragments, offering a tense, intimate reflection on vengeance and the echoes of the 20th century into the present.
In French.
Bernard Rose’s 1992 horror classic Candyman transposes urban folklore into a chilling psychological tale. Following Helen Lyle, a graduate student researching local myths, the film unravels as belief and violence intersect, conjuring a spectral figure summoned before a mirror. Shot with stark atmosphere and visceral imagery, Candyman explores themes of collective memory, social marginalization and the power of myth to haunt everyday life.
In English with French subtitles.
Choreographed by Laurence Yadi and performed by Compagnie 7273, Silahkan invites audiences into a fluid, hypnotic dance inspired by Balinese ritual and imagery. Objects and fabrics transform into shifting landscapes as precise, undulating gestures create a continuous calligraphic movement. The piece unfolds as a gentle trance, balancing intimate metamorphosis and communal generosity, offering a poetic exploration of presence and welcome. Accessible to young audiences, its delicate staging transforms dance into a universal language.
Oscar M. Damianaki’s Sacré Saoulé gathers a collective of performers to examine mourning, anger and exhaustion through a charged, intimate choreography. The piece moves between bitterness and tenderness, exploring a grief born of ongoing oppression that resists closure. Performers Tejus Menon and Davia Spain cocreate a physical language informed by discreet eroticism. Lighting by Tiki and costumes by Arsen Aeby shape a tense, tactile atmosphere. Co-produced by Emergentia.
