Mille and Alissia have a lot in common: lesbianism, Dads who live in former Communist-turned-Capitalist-Dictatorship countries thousands of kilometres away, an obsession for raw red peppers. In this Sino-Russian version of Les Misérables meets Never Have I Ever, they invite you to a vibrant, biting and sincere celebration of daddy issues, queer friendships, Communist history… and multilingual forgiveness. Expect some physical theatre, singing rituals, Russian pickles, Chinese tea, and dramatic PowerPoints, as their explore their relationships with each other, their Dads, and politics. Ready for the ride?
Directed by Mille Zhong and Alissia Pervozvanski-Dangles, the goals of Compagnie 88 mètres/seconde are to create bold, ambitious, lesbian, and decolonial work, blending physical theatre and experimental performance to advocate for radical representation, healing, and political change.
After the show on 1.10., a surprise will be waiting for you.
After the show on 2.10., an artist talk will take place.
That week, the group 88 mètres/seconde will also host the lab »Famili(es) – a writing workshop«.
Both »Le Grand soir« and »Famili(es) – a writing workshop« are part of Le Lampenfieber 2026 festival »Are We A Thing?«.
