"Manicomio", a multidisciplinary creation by T1J

A show that blends body and voice

On October 10, 2026, Manicomio takes the stage for a one-night-only performance. It is a multidisciplinary show that brings together three performers practicing physical theatre and an actor-singer. A hybrid format, straddling bodily performance and vocal presence, promising an unconventional stage experience.

What exactly is it about?

Manicomio is a creation by T1J, a company led by Patrick Masset. The concept rests on a meeting between two registers: on one side, the physical work of three performers, who mobilize gesture, posture, and bodily dynamics; on the other, the presence of an actor-singer, who brings the vocal and textual dimension. Altogether, they compose a stage object that does not fit into a single category — theatre, circus, concert, dance: all of that at once, or none of it. The result remains, for now, a surprise that only those who attend the performance will be able to describe.

Before heading out

• Check the exact time and ticketing details on the official programme website or with the organizer. Schedules listed online may change up to the day itself.
• Arrive with a small buffer: theatre doors rarely open at the precise showtime, and finding your seat at the last minute doesn't help you get into the right rhythm.
• Wear comfortable shoes and, above all, keep an open mind. A multidisciplinary show sometimes requires a few minutes of adjustment for the audience: the body speaks before words do, the rhythm builds gradually. Give yourself time to settle in.

One thing is certain: Manicomio is not a show you watch passively. Physical theatre engages the spectator as much as the performer. So prepare for it without preconceptions, and let yourself be surprised.
