Don’t just like it, live it!
Garaventa’s debut album Casual Drama fuels a live set that fuses post‑punk grit, deviant disco and obsessive kraut trance. On stage the quartet channels glam sensibilities and punk dancefloor energy, pushing toward an intense psychedelic trance. The performance mixes taut rhythms, propulsive bass and shouted harmonies. Band members CJ (keys, vocals), Baptiste (percussion, vocals), Tim (drums) and Souf (bass) carve a dense, immersive soundscape that favours repetition and ecstatic momentum.
Inner Light is a Swiss artistic collective founded by Kim Coussée, Eliott Villars and Gaia Vincensini that works at the intersection of contemporary art, fashion and publishing. Their transdisciplinary practice combines printmaking, textile, sculpture and performance to question the circulation of printed images across unconventional supports. For this project they invited artist Lyna Azwaw to stage an edition inspired by documents and publications found in archives. The presentation includes performances and contributions by Js Donny, Rosalie Dubois and Leandro Russo.
Opening: Thursday 9 July, 20:00 – 22:00
Chill O Lac returns for its third edition, a free week of community activities organised by the youth service. Open to everyone, the programme mixes live music, urban sports and creative workshops with playful group games. Expect basketball pick‑up, the urban game Zô‑Lanta, creative days for women, workout sessions, a concert by LGA and a friendly football tournament. The event fosters connection, inclusion and shared moments for neighbours, young people and families.
Directed by Bertrand Usclat and Martin Darondeau, this debut staging-turned-film unfolds in the electric chaos behind the curtain as a young director rushes to save a performance. With brisk pacing and observational comedy, the film balances backstage farce and human vulnerability, mapping how stress, technical failure and wounded pride fracture a company while revealing fragile loyalties. Shot with attentive close-ups and a lively ensemble rhythm, it offers an affectionate yet unsparing portrait of theatrical life. In French
In presence of Martin Darondeau and actor Pauline Clément.
Explore the story of Kalita through objects, sounds, and a tale. Wander into the story as Hatiam meets Kalita in the forest, marries her, and keeps her with the help of a village diviner. Listen to a divination chant, feel the rhythm of voices, and imagine the shimmer of ritual objects. Children will observe curious artifacts, ask questions, and weave their own stories while discovering how sounds and symbols tell a family’s history.
In French. Kids ages 5 and up.
High-speed wheelchair tennis on clay delivers close, tactical rallies and constant motion as athletes power and pivot across the court. Players glide, slide and spin their way through bursts of speed and sudden changes of direction, feeling the textured surface under wheels. The outdoor atmosphere hums with focused intensity and mutual admiration, blending elite competition with an inclusive spirit. It’s an athletic showcase of strategy, endurance and skill, offering both exhilarating play and communal energy.
Charlotte Qin and Tessel van der Putte present an exhibition of porcelain installation and paintings that treats water as both element and metaphor. Curated by Frédéric Elkaïm, the works shift the focus from control and extraction toward ecological, emotional and feminine inquiry. A central porcelain installation evokes aquatic creatures and the fluid forms of coral and blossom, while paintings explore the body as a permeable landscape, probing materiality, vulnerability and collective care.
Opening: Thursday 7 July, 18:00 – Performance of Charlotte Qin

With a wide, luminous sound, guitarist Louis Matute leads his Large Ensemble through original compositions shaped by travels to Spain, Latin America and the Caribbean.

The music favours collective interaction and conversation, alternating lyrical themes and spirited solos. Performers include Louis Matute (guitar), Zacharie Ksyk (trumpet), Léon Phal (saxophone), Andrew Audiger (piano), Nathan Vandenbulcke (drums) and Virgile Rosselet (double bass).
Directed by Valeria Bertolotto, Faire Hamlet! stages a company wrestling with performance and truth as rehearsals of Shakespeare’s prince unravel private tensions. Pierre Banderet, Dylan Poletti and an intergenerational ensemble confront doubt, jealousy and shifting identities while Angèle Colas provides artistic collaboration. Sound by Fred Jarabo, scenography by Fanny Courvoisier, lights by Alessandra Domingues and costumes by Eléonore Cassaigneau shape an intimate, unstable world where fiction bleeds into life.
