Fanny de Chaillé returns with her show Le Choeur, first performed during the Festival’s 2020 edition as part of the Talent Adami Théâtre initiative. Ten young actors and actresses constitute a body of ten voices. Onstage, different stories intertwine, converse and converge in a single momentum.
The format of the chorus, both actor and spectator, enunciator and silent audience, enables Fanny de Chaillé to dig deeper into her research on the spoken word and its reception. How can we involve the body in the telling of a story? In the company of ten young actors and actresses, the female director draws up a choreography, both corporal and sound-based: whispers, collective narration and personal accounts unfurl on stage in a common outbreath. From out of this staging emerges a fresh new way of making theatre, which is both joyful and free. The text by the poet Pierre Alferi, taken from his collection diverse chaos, blends with texts by each of the performers, invented during the rehearsals. Underlying these slices of life is a question: how does History meet with our own history? How do the intimate and the collective event cross each other’s paths? The show multiplies the different accounts, opening up an infinite variety of possibilities: it speaks to us of the fabric of a contemporary chorus, unveiling its pulsations and energy.

Radouan Mriziga Atlas/The Mountain
In Atlas/The Mountain, the Moroccan choreographer Radouan Mriziga transforms his body into a catalyst for energies and traditions from the Atlas Mountains. This solo in the form of a ritual is transcended by polymorphic figures and captivating rhythms.
Latifa Laâbissi, Antonia Baehr Cavaliers impurs In a visual installation by Nadia Lauro
Following on from Consul and Meshie, Latifa Laâbissi and Antonia Baehr bring us a duo in the form of a series of heterogeneous sequences, interlinked by a common thread of the impure, hybridization and collage. They combine their respective vocabularies, such as the relationship with the expressiveness of the face, and the crossing of genres, registers. Over the course of different numbers or acts, Laâbissi and Baehr interweave their respective universes, thereby overturning the various choreographic codes and blurring the frontiers.
Elsa Dorlin Travailler la violence #4
How can we work on violence? How can we put into perspective, stage and retell it? How can we tear it to pieces? The purpose of this two day-long series of encounters, put together by the philosopher Elsa Dorlin, will be to update what critiques of violence teach us and to make an inventory of the various weapons of violence collected.
Fanny & Alexander Nina
In Nina, the Fanny & Alexander company investigates, in a blend of music and performance, the human voice, via the technique of heterodirection. The soprano Claron McFadden embodies the mythical figure of Nina Simone, and conveys the unique energy of this individual who set out to be "the first black pianist".
