We are in 1960s America, where quaint burlesque is suddenly being outstripped by the porn industry. Playing deftly on the opposition between private and public space, what we can see and what we merely imagine – Bruno Geslin lays bare the contradictions of an era. And as in many of his previous works, continues to delve into the enigma of desire.

Gurshad Shaheman, Dany Boudreault
Sur tes traces

Theatre

The piece takes us a road-trip in the form of a double portrait involving two destinies, namely those of Gurshad Shaheman born in Iran, and Dany Boudreault in Quebec. Authors, directors and performers, the two artists got to know each other in Europe. Here, each of them sets off in search of their respective pasts.

Marion Duval
Cécile

TheatrePerformance

Certain encounters are life-changing. This piece is about Marion Duval's encounter with Cécile Laporte, an activist and author to whom she has decided to dedicate a show. The resulting 'truth-performance' is an inspiring one and enables us to embrace the unbearable complexity of the world in a light-hearted way.

Jaha Koo
Haribo Kimchi

Theatre

Haribo Kimchi, a hybrid performance combining text, music, video and robotics, embraces South Korean cuisine as part of an investigation into cultural assimilation, together with its conflicts and paradoxes. It enables Jaha Koo to ask questions first raised in his Hamartia trilogy.
