Dancer and choreographer Annick Pütz takes the audience on a journey to discover all the senses. On a playfully designed stage, she discovers the materiality of the objects around her and establishes a sensitive relationship with them. The music adapts to her movements and reflects them. Slowly, an enchanted world of sensuality comes into existence.
Au jardin des Potiniers
In this miniature botanical landscape, heads poke out beyond the mountains. Those little faces look familiar: they’re your kids! But don’t panic, they’re invited to contemplate a profuse and poetic world. As they’re placed beneath a model, their heads stick out and they end up at the heart of this microcosm that comes to life like by magic. Fauna and flora awaken and time freezes: the young (and less young) audience members are the witnesses of a beauty whose balance seems fragile… Au jardin des Potiniers is a humble and immediate encounter with nature and its splendor.
The theatre’s little brunches
On Sunday lunchtimes, we’re offering a free brunch (12 noon) followed by a parent-child theater workshop (1.30>3.30pm, 5€). Information and registration at: rp.theatre@villeesch.lu
Bakéké
Are you desperately perfectionist? So is he! Tight as a clam and clever as a cartload of monkeys, our friends seems to have only one idea in mind, under his straw hat: building pyramids… of buckets. Not 3 or 6, but 60 lime-colored buckets. Through all means, especially the craziest ones, he intends to give them sumptuous geometric shapes. So, this dreamer aligns and piles up, to the point of hubris… Like for Cleopatra’s architect, it’s however in imperfection and mistakes that poetry will come out. Bakéké (“bucket” in Hawaiian) is a story that tells our own obstinacies, deliciously absurd and liberating.

N’imPORTE quoi
Knock knock! A virtuoso of burlesque comedy, renown as one of the best clowns in the world, Leandre knocks at Escher Theater’s door again. And he’s not alone! In a wall-less house a bit wobbly and full of doors, the Catalan artist takes four of his notorious accomplices on board. Gags pour in, objects fly across and bodies are thrown in the air, as our five friends cling to anything looking like hope or love. Those stupidly human beings sublimate themselves, creating a world filled with dreams, absurdity and tenderness which, no matter your age, you would like to live in.

Queen Blood
One foot in the club, another in the battle. In a hip-hop field that has long been dominated by men, choreographer Ousmane Sy – who suddenly passed away in 2020 – made a big splash by creating a 100% female group: Paradox-sal. His final show is a ballet of urban dances joyfully warmed-up by traditional African and West Indies traditional rhythms. Seven queens of house dance appear as they are: voluntary, playful, perfectionist, sensual or ferocious at times. Each with her style. The energy circulates like a ball, goes from one to the other, rebounds and goes again to carry away, inevitably, the audience in its course.
Re/pair your clothes!
Fast fashion, beware… Did your little ones give their clothes a rough time? During this parent-child workshop, nothing will resist their creative minds to draw and make patterns, in order to re(pair) their used clothes and rekindle the affective bond with a pair of jeans or an old sock that you no longer dared to take out from the wardrobe.
Dads, moms, grandparents, bring your kids and their clothes, costume designer Peggy Wurth will be there to make fabrics available and pass on those gestures: darning, patching, fixing a tear, sewing a button, hemming. One thing leading to another, our associate artist will dispense advice and techniques to make clothes for children more durable, and doing so always in a creative manner!
The workshop will take place on 25 February from 2pm to 5pm, at the Ariston.
