Directed by Nathalie Cuenet and written by Valérie Poirier, Dire adieu is performed by Compagnie Volodia. The piece stages fragmented conversations between a daughter and her mother, probing a quest for recognition and the fragile possibility of reconciliation.

The ensemble creates a tense, intimate atmosphere that makes emotional rupture palpable.

Early 19th-century England. Twelve-year-old Mary Anning spends her days searching for fossils on the cliffs of Lyme Regis.

Inspired by the true story of this pioneering palaeontologist, Marcel Barelli’s first feature film celebrates scientific curiosity, perseverance and empowerment. His delicate 2D animation is accompanied by a folk- and rock-inspired original score composed by Shyle Zalewski.

Andreas Fulgosi assembles musicians who share an obsession with sonic matter and deep vibration for a carte blanche project exploring persistently stirred low frequencies. Through baritone guitars, bass clarinet and propulsive drumming, the group sculpts a tactile dialogue where raw energy searches for balance and temporal resonance. The programme probes textural limits, favouring tactile listening and long-sustained vibrations that blur the line between composition and collective exploration.
