Mitsune brings together four musicians wielding the shamisen, blending ancient Japanese folk song with psychedelic textures and rock energy. Powerful vocals, near-ritual rhythms and vivid arrangements transform traditional narratives into a contemporary sonic ritual. Based in Berlin and composed of artists from several countries, the ensemble circulates Japanese traditions through an amplified, visually charged sound. Line-up: Shiomi Kawaguchi (shamisen, shinobue, voice), Youka Snell (shamisen, voice), Daigo Nakai (bass, voice), Petros Tzekos (percussion).
Acid Coco blends Caribbean rhythms and tropical Andean currents into a vibrant live set that crosses cumbia, champeta, reggaeton and electronic music. The group layers propulsive percussion, warm melodic lines and shimmering electronic textures to summon a festive yet nuanced sound world. The performance favours danceable grooves, call-and-response vocals and sudden dynamic shifts, moving between intimate, rhythmic passages and exuberant collective bursts that invite movement and shared celebration.
J-Pat is a likable schlaps in this one-man show that blends humour and lightness. Written by Blaise Granget and Marc Zucchello and directed by Marc Zucchello, the performance features Blaise Granget and Damien Naïmi. Through virtuosic violin, rap and a taste for fine cars, the character oscillates between erudition and pop culture—from Seneca to Frida Kahlo and Frozen—building sharp social observations and personal struggles.

How We Come Together is a one-day workshop led by the Asian Futures Collective that brings together interventions on cultural and community practices of Asian diasporas. Through workshops, performance-lectures, research sharing, listening rituals and a film screening, the programme explores ancestral memory, embodied knowledge, more-than-human kinship and collective learning. Sessions propose varied formats and lengths; some include an online discussion and a screening in Thai with English subtitles.
Performed and choreographed by Lisa Laurent, this solo performance is a choreography of grief. Semi-nude and accompanied only by a small table and a microphone, Laurent gives herself over to inconsolable lamentations: her movements are laboured, as if mired in her own tears, and each attempt to regain composure falters. The piece interrogates vulnerability and the grotesque dimensions of sadness, gradually collapsing the distance between performer and audience to create a space where private fragility can be looked at and shared.

Caroline Couteau, director of Éditions Zoé, presents a programme featuring authors Elisa Shua Dusapin, Anne‑Sophie Subilia, Aude Seigne, Jérémie Gindre, Sarah Elena Müller, Raphaëlle Lacord and Catherine Safonoff.
This weekend of readings, performances and writing workshops examines contemporary literary practices rooted in intimate, sensory prose. Presentations explore fragility, childhood, family ties, migration and cultural memory, revealing creative processes and the editorial line of Zoé: precise, restrained writing that illuminates individual trajectories and broader social narratives.
