Programme du 29 juillet
When Typhus talks to the actor about his desire for a child, he has no choice but to fulfil his wish... in his own way. But in this game of Russian dolls, who controls whom? Who raises whom?
The show explores the relationship between the actor and his character. The social man confronts the unfiltered clown. It's about education, transmission, safeguards, free will, self-censorship and social oppression. But above all, freedom. To build or preserve.

De l'origine du monde began as an investigation into parenthood in 2020. Drawing on a multitude of testimonies collected from people of all ages, personal archives, and literary, scientific, audio and statistical material, a first triptych of ephemeral shows was created, which in turn questioned the words of women, men and the begotten.
At the heart of this fourth and final instalment, the authors are leaving documentary theatre behind. Somewhere between an admission of powerlessness to find satisfactory answers, an attempt to pooh-pooh social injunctions, reverie and a nightmarish party, Charlotte and Raphaëlle enter uncharted territory. Like butterfly hunters, they set off into the cosmic meadows of their unconscious, in search of their own intimate words about parenthood.
When architects and urban planners design cities, they always overlook the capacity for invention of the habitant‧e‧s. With Impact d'une course, we decided to salute all‧tes the world's habitant‧e‧s by approaching the city in a way other than what it was intended for. In this show we draw on undisciplined circus techniques, parkour, psychobloc climbing, contemporary basketball dance, toy-music, Afro-beat psychadelic and probably Grand Theft Auto 4 too. The musician never lets the acrobats take a step back, and his music conveys the desire to make this show as much a moment of collective exploration as an intimate, experimental concert.
More info5 characters roam the public space. They are sometimes funny, sometimes poetic, but always in a burlesque universe. With a zany sincerity, they don't take today's world seriously. Perhaps for a better future? Hurluberlus is a brass band that really gets things going.

L'Armoire Polyphonique is an old cupboard forgotten by the side of a road or on the pavement of a street, on the grass of a park or deep in a forest. On its door is a sign saying ‘Open up to me’. When the door opens, the three polyphonists come to life, performing one of their compositions with joyfully anachronistic lyrics, then they close the doors again. L'armoire polyphonique is a musical impromptu, like a human-sized music box.
This light-hearted, offbeat show features polyphonies by composer Gustave Carpene. These songs, originally performed in videos broadcast online, are modern and humorous re-visitations of early vocal music. Academic compositions with contemporary and trivial lyrics.

Every stormy evening, an old man approaches the seashore. As the wind caresses his face, he returns to distant memories. It's a waking dream, a happy nostalgia, a way of never forgetting and continuing to live, whatever the cost. Around an infinite cable, four balanced bodies will evolve, like the waves of a past time that comes and goes again and again. Told by two musicians, ...Sodade... is a fable of great heights, a hymn to life on a unique circus structure.
More infoThe mission of these philosophical cabarets is ‘to advance thought lest it retreat, to stigmatise reflection so that it opens up new horizons for humanity’. Convinced that humanity will disappear if nothing is done, Stéphane Giblot, Daniel Sponkdatahunter and Roland Gerbier are self-proclaimed philosophers. Together, they founded Il est déjà trop tard, a magazine that seeks and ultimately finds solutions to the problems that plague us. Between the ramblings of language and the poetry of the absurd, the audience is invited to enter the house of thought...
More infoAn interactive slam show in which Arthur Ribo, a virtuoso of the spoken word, improvises with the audience. Accompanying him is a multi-instrumentalist composer who creates the musical colour for the stories that unfold before our eyes. It's a playful work that revisits all musical genres.

They arrive at the rhythm of the water, you could almost think that they are imposing their rhythm on the water. They have come a long way, perhaps a long time ago, together. The show will take place here, on this raft, stable, small but sufficient, if it floats to the end, to the final salute.
It's about to start, soon, but not just yet, there are still a few important and insignificant preparations to be made. ... it tells of instability, of the great need to hold on and support oneself. The peaceful appearance of inner storms. The need to stay the course when everything wavers under the weight of uncertainty. It's circus, it's risk, it's humidity and it's humanity.

Upstairs, a fight in the little ones' bedroom and a pregnancy test in the privacy of the bathroom lead brothers and sisters to meet at the Sibling Council, where they start discussing home education, abortion, psycho-genealogy and other children's issues... Except that at the dinner table, between blunders, jibes, cigarette breaks and a surprise visit from the grandmother, everything comes out in the end. For the first time, the Sibling Council becomes the Family Council...
More infoA prisoner dreams of escaping. He plays games, invents a friend and an imaginary language. Melancholy memories of revolutionary songs and a better world come flooding back. Caught between nightmare and reality, deep in his cell, he relives his past. Caillasse plunges us into the history of rebels of all eras, the throwers of paving stones, pebbles and caillasse. With a delirious and corrosive sense of humour, the two artists combine acting and acrobatics, a cappella singing and scrap metal percussion in a show with a gritty universe where mischief and poetry are omnipresent.
More infoTwo gentle, naive people who love each other find themselves caught up in the spirit of our age: the spirit of competition. They are drawn into a merciless tennis match. Using vengeful cups, this sporty and eccentric duo clash with extraordinary energy. The euphoria of competition will gradually upset the affection between these two friends.

Through an artistic exploration combining intimate writing, stand-up and musical cabaret, this show invites deep reflection on sexuality and pleasure.
Revealing statistics underline the persistent orgasmic gap between the sexes, and essays highlighting the realities of women's sex lives teem with the desire to create new erotic schemes through humour, sensitivity and storytelling. Where taboos come down, discussion comes alive and ‘Jouir’ asks: why this orgasmic gap? Can we reinvent our erotic patterns? And, above all, is it really that important to come?
Based on the story of one woman's quest for orgasm, which mingles with that of the other performers in the play, the audience is caught up in a frenetic whirlwind in which orgasm is revealed in all its splendour and diversity.
