The Théâtre de la Ville-Paris and the Festival d'Automne à Paris are co-producers of this show and present it in co-realisation. 

Pascal Rambert, a major author and director of his generation, finds himself once again in the company of his faithful companions in an ambitious fresco dealing with the passage of time and family ties. Intended as a trilogy spanning five years, it explores what is left behind by our commitments and ruptures.

 

Les consequences addresses the question of time and how it transforms human beings - as living bodies, psychic worlds, and patterns of behaviour - in order to closely examine the repercussions of our actions. Without being condescending or moralistic, Pascal Rambert casts an astute, level gaze on the shifting sphere of family, romantic and friend-based relationships, and the scope of experience with regard to social, political and emotional commitments. Divided into four chapters that alternate in a fast-paced way between weddings and funerals, the artist lays bare the taut nature of this time that courses straight through our bodies like an arrow, its flow dazzling us as it passes between sharp stones. On the occasion of these rites of passage, a family of three generations gathers under the white canvas of a large marquee. It becomes a space for the sharing in of ten years which have sped by, with all their various joys, pains, hopes, and things we have given up on. It is these outermost contours of life that make up the theatrical material of Rambert's ever more incisive language.

Thirty years after it was first performed, the South African visual artist William Kentridge and the Handspring Puppet Company breathe new life into their Faustus in Africa! Behind its nostalgia-inspired aesthetic, this irreverent reinterpretation of Goethe is as relevant as ever.

Felwine Sarr
École du soir, Une vie commune Intellectual guest of the Centre Pompidou and the Festival d'Automne à Paris

Conference
Free

In November 2023, the Festival d'Automne hosted an audience encounter with Angela Davis in which reflections on current events in the arts intersected with global political issues. From out of this meeting came the idea of an École du soir “evening school”, in conjunction with the Centre Pompidou and in collaboration with the Senegalese intellectual and economist Felwine Sarr, The different events focus on a central question, that of a “A life in common”.

Bouchra Khalili
Astérismes (Fig. 3) : L’Écrivain public

Visual arts
Free

Bouchra Khalili is the visual arts guest at the 2025 edition of the Festival d'Automne. Born in 1975 in Casablanca, she lives in Vienna, Austria and works in an itinerant manner. For more than twenty years, she has been producing rigorously conceived works that function as visual and discursive hypotheses, and which take into account the contemporary issues of art and the world. Her work seeks to overturn geographies, narratives and official histories in order to restore depth and precision to reality and its protagonists. Bringing together recent works and new productions, her project entitled Astérismes (Fig. 1 à 3) takes to three theatre stages its exploration of the links between the representation of long-lost stories, performance art and moving images.

Following on from Romances inciertos, another Orlando, Nina Laisné and François Chaignaud extend their utopic fusion of dance and music based on South American repertoires. In the company of the Argentinian singer Nadia Larcher, they compose a cosmogonic universe in which voices resonate with the breathy sound of the sackbut and zapateo rhythms.
