Hominal

Performances

In this performance, Marie-Caroline Hominal, dressed in shimmering jeans, moves through a fantastical world dominated by a pink set designed by her brother, artist David Hominal. The stage features large panels with changing textures, fleeting tones, and repetitive patterns, onto which the dancer projects her shadow, stories, dreams, and doubts. Marie-Caroline plays with repetition, collage, and formal gestures, creating a sense of distance, self-deprecation, and reflection. This is the third time Marie-Caroline has invited an artist to collaborate with her, and for this piece, she works alongside her brother to merge their artistic practices, exploring the intersection of their respective aesthetic universes.

Prima Facie

Performances

Théâtre des Amis

Prima Facie challenges the very foundations of the judicial system, which playwright and former criminal lawyer Suzie Miller describes as having a “pitifully low” conviction rate for sexual assault cases. How much space does this system truly allow for hearing and believing the voices of survivors?

Young actress Anna Budde takes on this searing text, which has earned its Australian author numerous awards.

Cyrano de Bergerac

Performances

La Comédie de Genève

Lola Giouse’s production of Edmond Rostand’s Cyrano de Bergerac reinvents the classic play with a fresh, contemporary perspective, using live music, an all-female cast, and a queer, feminist lens to explore the love triangle between Cyrano, Roxane, and Christian. By moving beyond the traditional portrayal of the play as a showcase for a single actor, Giouse reclaims the text, infusing it with new meaning while addressing contemporary utopias. Drawing from her own experience as a young actress who once played Cyrano, she offers a joyful and collective reinterpretation that invites the cast and audience to explore multiple identities and declare their love freely.
