Ayoub, Colonialism
and Palestine

© Andrés Manrique

Aiub. Ioug. Ayub. Ainou. Aiou. I had the same difficulty pronouncing her Arabic name as I had understanding that our love wasn’t possible in an impossible world.

This name came to destroy, in some way, my West.

Initially, this project was intended to save a man in a vulnerable situation, and for that man to save me from loneliness. I traveled to Tangier (Morocco) to find him, marry him, give him my Europeanized South American papers, and then create a new work based on that.

But Ayoub appeared, and the project collapsed. His name (“the returnee” or “the repentant”) is very popular in Islamic countries: 615 children of that name were murdered by the Zionist state of Israel in the Gaza Strip.

For those dead, I name this work after you, about colonialism, about Palestine.

And everything I want to kill inside me.

A World of Deceptiveness

© Stéphane Bourgeois

Created by choreographer Guillaume Côté and stage director Robert Lepage, Hamlet, Prince of Denmark pulls the audience deep into a world of deceptiveness, where phantoms and humans mingle on a minimalist set where light, shadow and transparency play a central role.

This metaphorical reinterpretation of the Shakespearian drama draws a fine line connecting movements of the body with what may or may not be lurking within the corners of the mind.

Virginie Brunelle – FABLES

July 23rd – 24th, 2025 Biennale Danza, Venice
February 20th – 21st, 2026 Penn Live Arts, Philadelphia
65 minutes

A Crying Need for Utopia

© David Wong

Through a rigorous movement vocabulary, Fables offers a sometimes harsh, sometimes poetic vision of women’s ongoing struggle. Against the backdrop of the chaos of an era turned upside down, the piece projects us into fantastical spaces from which larger–than-life characters emerge — contemporary female archetypes who paved the way to freedom from invisible yet real barriers. A universe of great evocative power, echoing a crying need for utopia, hope and humanity.

Canadian Circus Sensation

© People Watching Collective

With Play Dead, the Canadian company People Watching has created an astonishing debut work. The show will be re-staged exclusively for the Chamäleon in order to artistically expand the facets of the Chamäleon stage with its extraordinary and powerful aesthetic.

In a shifting universe of domestic trappings and interlocking stories, eight curious individuals dissect the beauty and absurdity of the human condition. A reverie, a purgatory, a place where anatomical logic and gravity don’t seem to apply. Through an otherworldly hybrid of acrobatics, dance and physical theatre, People Watching create contemporary circus that flows like water, sometimes gentle and reflective, sometimes relentless and impactful. Play Dead pushes physical boundaries at the intersection where circus and dance meet to celebrate life in all its eccentricity, the same way people desperately dance to the last song before the party ends.
