CABARET OF URGENT MATTERS
CHANTAL MARIAM NEUHAUS & CHLOÉ DÉMÉTRIADÈS
With all our hands, we’ll surely achieve something
Beneath its surface, the Cabaret of Urgent Matters is a space of resistance and joy, a festive refuge born from the need to come together as a community and a body in the face of everyday violences. Created by Chantal Mariam Neuhaus, Chloé Démétriadès (winner of Prix artistique de la Région de Nyon 2024), and their collaborators, this cabaret – concocted with love and rage – welcomes on stage artists, stories, and silences too often overlooked. Here, performers from circus, drag, burlesque, and performance art gather. The stage becomes a place to address urgent issues and foster mutual care and attention. The audience is invited to join a large communal table, where people celebrate, laugh, interact, and share a meal. Here, once again, celebrating and coming together is political. At the heart of a textile cocoon, a collective space of refuge is woven, where everyone can catch their breath.
Dear audience, you are warmly welcome in this cabaret home, dressed in your favorite outfits and emotions, from the most extravagant to the most comfortable.
