Sandra Gaudin directs Il neige sur le pianiste (It Snows on the Pianist) at the Théâtre Les Halles in Sierre. The show runs on Friday 11 and Saturday 12 December 2026.
The story
The show is based on Il neige sur le pianiste (It Snows on the Pianist) by Claudie Hunzinger. The author received the Prix Femina in 2022.
The project grew from a meeting between Marthe Keller and pianist Arthur Noël. Both appeared in Who Plays Who?, a show inspired by John Cassavetes.
The Fondation du Palace de Caux and the City of Montreux then invited the team to create a work. The Palace theatre has 400 seats.
In 2025 Arthur Noël won first prize at the Paris International Piano Competition. He also won the Lavaux Classique competition in 2022.
Who organises it
The Théâtre Les Halles in Sierre hosts the show. The production is supported by the Canton of Vaud and Migros.
What to find
A woman lives alone in a house at the edge of the Vosges forest, among books and wild animals. One winter evening, a pianist she admires knocks on her door.
Marthe Keller and Arthur Noël are on stage, the latter at the piano. Francesco Cesalli created the video and Bernard Amaudruz the sound.
The team describes the piece as a reversed fairy tale. It speaks of gentleness, desire and care for living things.
