Don’t just like it, live it!

6 – 15 March

Succès Reprise is a sparkling vaudeville that blurs the line between theatrical comedy and the comedy of everyday life. A charming love triangle performed by a tight trio of actors unfolds through rapid-fire exchanges, physical gags and shifting misunderstandings. The staging favours bright pace and playful timing, delivering light-hearted warmth while revealing awkward human impulses and social foibles. The piece leaves a lingering smile and a sense of affectionate irony.

In French.

Shaped by Soraya’s mobile-phone recordings, this intimate documentary follows a sixteen-year-old Afghan artist over five years as she attempts to flee Iran to join her mother in Austria. Blending handheld video, animation, drawings and sculpture, the film maps a journey of escape, song and improvised dance. It examines courage, gendered violence and the creative impulse as survival, rendered in raw textures and lyrical fragments. The result is a porous, sensory portrait of resistance and artistic self-creation.

In Persian/Dari/Turkish (original version), with French subtitles.

Screening followed by a discussion with filmmakers Mehrdad Oskouei & Soraya Akhlaghi.

3 – 15 March

Revived by director Ninon Fachard after the original staging by Véronique Ros de la Grange, this solo piece stars Jacques Michel with Caroline Gasser as the prompter. Lighting by Rinaldo Del Boca and music by Alain Lamarche carve intimate, shadowed spaces around a red sequined curtain. Makeup by Natalia Lepianka and costumes by Emilie Revel shape the fading glamour of a music‑hall star who soliloquises, recalls past glory and loss, and sings in playback—an inward plunge toward memory and survival.

In French.
