  • Tuesday lunchtime : LISIÈRES

    In a world marked by violence, trauma and ecological collapse, LISIÈRES explores the fragilities of a generation still learning how to inhabit the world. On stage, bodies, sounds, gestures and voices mingle and transform. Language fragments, bearings blur, creating a space where the boundary between presence and absence becomes uncertain. At the heart of the story, four women — Ismène, Antigone, Jocaste and Eurydice, from the Labdacid line — carry histories of violence, wounds and transmission. Through them we see the traces left by what passes from one generation to the next, and the different ways of facing life and carrying on. How do you keep living, creating and connecting when your bearings falter? Conceived and directed by Emmy Houssais, LISIÈRES is a sensitive journey through individual and collective fragilities, at the boundary between what comes undone and what seeks to rebuild.

  • Wednesday lunchtime : Bouffonnerie (outdoors)

    Bella has two lovers. The only hitch: neither accepts the other. One day she sets up a meeting in a car park and nothing goes as planned. Against a backdrop of convoluted speech and mechanic get-up, Bouffonnerie explores the trials of romantic relationships and their endless ways of working.

  • Saturday lunchtime : VΛLENTINE

    Influenced by Aretha Franklin, Nina Simone and Adele, VΛLENTINE tells her stories in song — the moments when she feels alone, powerless or misunderstood. Her songs may speak of solitude, loss of confidence, strength, taboo moments or childhood memories. Accompanied by her pianist Yoann, VΛLENTINE offers a moment of tenderness and expression to let go for a lunchtime hour.

Behind our heads — workshop 1 (opens HelloAsso in a new tab)

  • 2pm – 4pm
  • Up to 10 participants
  • Materials provided

Book on HelloAsso → (opens HelloAsso in a new tab)

Two workshops built as spaces for exchange and speaking freely through art. Mental health is increasingly talked about — yet some topics stay taboo (less “acceptable” conditions, hidden symptoms). Start with a conversation from lived experience (or not), then make an illustration or a short comics page. Sharing, resources and stories, in a caring space.

Thursday 12 November

Show

Dance & debate — enfantiste collective (opens HelloAsso in a new tab)

  • 6:00pm

Book on HelloAsso → (opens HelloAsso in a new tab)

Take a seat, bring herbal tea, crochet and attentive ears for a collective conversation about children's place in our society. Co-hosted by Collectif Enfantiste and Queer Education, this evening focuses on struggles for children's rights. What oppression do the youngest face? What micro-violences have we internalized or reproduced? How do we prevent and protect against these violences? How can we shape a world at child height?

Physical and sexual violence against minors will be discussed during this evening.

For a pirate ecology

  • 11:00am
  • No limit on the number of places
  • Materials provided

A collective reading (“arpentage”) of Fatima Ouassak’s book For a Pirate Ecology. What’s an arpentage? A way to discover a book together without having read it first: we share passages, each person reads a part, then we pool our thoughts — with blankets and warm drinks.

Show

Green* (opens HelloAsso in a new tab)

  • 6:30pm

Book on HelloAsso → (opens HelloAsso in a new tab)

This electric evening revolves around Julie Aminthe’s text Mission grand air, directed by Ellio Demellier.

In a future that feels both near and strange, a group of young people gather to voice their anger, doubts and hopes.

Facing eco-anxiety, everyday violence, family tension and the feeling of not being heard, the characters search for a space to meet and reclaim their place. When should we act? When should we organise? How do we keep believing in the future when it already seems threatened?

Around this cry of revolt, a gathering takes shape. The night moves through sung voices, a brass band, electronic sounds and drag interventions — forms woven together to share anger, fragility and the need for connection. This ecological voice finds its place in the story and its imaginaries. A collective celebration ending with DJ sets to imagine another future.
