Nicolas Bouchaud revisits the life of cinema critic Serge Daney, a name closely associated with the French New Wave and the magazine Les Cahiers du Cinéma. The play is based on a long interview Daney gave shortly before his death from AIDS. Sharing the stage with projected scenes from Rio Bravo by Howard Hawks, Bouchaud explores the beguiling force of cinema.

Have a good day! arises from the collaboration of Vaiva Grainytė, Lina Lapelytė, and Rugilė Barzdžiukaitė.

At the crossroads between theatre and stand-up, the first show by the visual artist Mohamed Bourouissa brings to the stage the different phases in the life of a woman in prison and its transformations. In the absence of pathos, the piece uses humour to circumvent the arduous nature of its subject matter.

Who is Diyaa Yamout, the Lebanese human rights activist, artist and blogger whose suicide shook the nation? We will never really know and this is not what matters.
