FC Bergman's Point Nemo Comes to Théâtre du Châtelet
Belgian collective FC Bergman brings Point Nemo to the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris from 25 to 29 September 2026. Inspired by Steve Reich's minimalist composition Drumming, the wordless performance uses rhythm, movement, and phasing as theatrical material. The show takes its name from Point Nemo, the planet's most remote location from any inhabited land. On stage, an artificial world is constructed and then progressively breaks down, questioning the human impulse to control everything. Described as a visual performance and sensory voyage, it invites audiences to surrender to unexpected beauty. Running 1 hour 20 minutes, evening shows start at 8pm; tickets range from €6 to €59.
