Director Wichaya Artamat, a major figure on the Thai theatre scene, returns this year with The Dead Still Riot, a sound-based new work interweaving tales of insurrection and violence through the ages. Six stories of ghosts from the past take us on a political journey across France and Thailand.

The performance piece Organon, a collaboration between choreographer Noé Soulier and artist Tarek Atoui, brings us a bold reconfiguration of the relationship between performative bodies, space and sounds. 

On a street corner, when a life is upended and the sky loses its bearings: Robyn Orlin’s seminal solo, originally created in New York inside a cardboard box, is now revived by a performer whose own journey brings a new perspective to the work. Following revivals with Nadia Beugré in 2022 at the Festival d’Automne and with Marta Izquierdo Munoz in 2024 at La Place de la Danse, Robyn Orlin entrusts the interpretation in 2025 to Volmir Cordeiro.

The performance piece The present is not enough, directed by Silvia Calderoni and Ilenia Caleo, deals with the utopia of the body. The recumbent, sinuous, and twisted onstage bodies flirt and are flirted with, exploring forms of unbridled intimacy. In doing so, they create an opening on new modalities of relationships.

As part of L'École du soir — a new series of intellectual explorations conceived by the Festival d'Automne and the Centre Pompidou, in collaboration with Felwine Sarr — a series of discussions and workshops will explore the theme of “A Shared Life.”
