Following its premiere in Geneva in September 2026, The Great Passage (The Dead Find Homes Everywhere) arrives in Île-de-France. Aurélia Lüscher’s production is presented at the Théâtre de Châtillon as part of the Festival OVNI.
With this play, Aurélia Lüscher continues a cycle focused on our relationship with death. Au grand passage is the second installment of the trilogy, which began in 2024 with Les corps incorruptibles. The artist now turns to how the living keep connecting with those who have died and to the place the departed occupy in the stories and lives of those left behind.
The creation is forged at the crossroads of inquiry, intimate storytelling, and fable. Aurélia Lüscher calls upon, in particular, her late grandmothers and pairs her personal history with broader research into the ways we think about death. This work draws on the research of Magali Molinié, who serves as the project’s scientific expert and collaborator.
Aurélia Lüscher leads the conception, writing, performance and scenography of the show. Céline Nidegger lends an artistic collaboration, while Agnès Mathieu-Daudé oversees dramaturgy. Sound design is entrusted to Andrès Garcìa and lighting to Juliette Romens.
Premiered from September 3 to 6, 2026 at Scènes du Grütli during the La Bâtie Festival in Geneva, Au grand passage continues its tour. Its engagement at Théâtre de Châtillon is part of the OVNI Festival, running from November 12 to 27, 2026 in Malakoff, Châtillon and Vanves.
