Curious Mornings

Julie, or A Role Impossible to Play, by Emma Gustafsson and Laurent Hatat, is a new work freely inspired by August Strindberg’s Fröken Julie. In Paris, on the night of the Fête de la Musique, three actresses replay and question the figures of Julie, Jean and Christine. The play shifts the drama into the present day: social media, class relations, desire, domination and consent. At its centre lies one question: what really happened between Julie and Jean in the ellipse left by Strindberg? And what, then, becomes of consent? By opening up this blind spot, the play gives Julie’s voice a chance to be heard and turns the stage into a space of unrest, but also of sisterhood and possible repair.

White Gold is a love letter to white asparagus and seasonal asparagus pickers – told from the point of view of the asparagus. A surreal (cooking) show about the cult of perfection, seasonality and mortality, with and by the queen of the springtime. If you’re into Waiting for Godot & Dying Swan, you’ll love this. Come for a show, stay for a plate of asparagus.

Who hasn’t, at some point, dreamed of walking away from it all and starting over? Of going out for a pack of cigarettes and never coming back?

That is exactly what happens to Francky one morning. A hardware store salesman, he leads an ordinary life among ordinary people in an ordinary town—or so he believes. One morning, after a particularly unusual night, he decides to leave: his family, his job, his neighbors, everything. He sets off with no goal and no destination. Or so he thinks.

Is it an escape or a liberation? Or simply, at last, the desire to experience what we commonly call freedom?

We follow Francky on his journey and through a series of unexpected encounters. Along this path of flight and reinvention, he struggles to remake himself, torn between a longing for freedom and the impossibility of truly escaping his past.

An intimate and moving story about downfall, escape, and what remains—despite everything—when all seems lost.

France, July 2026. In a village in the Creuse region, a green mayor suffering from pesticide-related illnesses stands firmly against a free-range chicken farm project. To avoid open conflict, a mediation program is called in: Les Grandes Concertations. Facing one another are a farmer who once dreamed of becoming a dancer, heir to a family history marked by the forced displacement of his Réunionese parents; a choreographer forced to work for a communications agency; and a former actor turned host, tasked with steering the debate — at the risk of turning it into a spectacle. As the discussion unfolds, certainties begin to crack. What was meant to be a democratic exchange gradually reveals intimate trajectories, restrained bodies, and a history that refuses to fade.
