8 W O M E N: HER STAGE LaB FINAL SHOW

8 WOMEN: HER STAGE LAB FINAL SHOWCASE

This performance is the final result of HER STAGE LAB — an intensive three-week theatre laboratory created for women at different stages of their artistic journey.

Over three intensive weeks, the participants stepped into the world of theatre — discovering their voices, meeting their characters and learning to trust one another on stage. Through training, exploration and rehearsal, separate artistic journeys gradually came together to form one shared performance.

Come and support emerging female artists as they take the stage and share the result of their courage, commitment and creative discovery.

Inspired by Robert Thomas and the film by François Ozon

A sharp and suspenseful murder mystery, reimagined through a female gaze.

During a snowed-in Christmas gathering at a secluded family mansion, the only man in the house is found dead. Eight women are trapped together — and each of them becomes a suspect.

As the investigation unfolds, family secrets, hidden desires, jealousy, fear, love and betrayal come to the surface. What begins as a murder mystery becomes a story about female roles, silence, survival and the masks women are forced to wear.

A house full of secrets.
A family full of lies.
Eight women.
No escape from the truth.
