Karolina Ferencz, Charlotte Orcel, Anna Ozdemir, and Florie Jeanne Riva bring a fresh perspective to the works of both historical and contemporary women composers, from Lili Boulanger to Cathy Berberian, highlighting the richness and diversity of female creativity.
Horizons is an intimate dance performance by Riva & Repele that traces the human journey through time, exploring transformation, memory and renewal. Their choreography sculpts poetic landscapes where movement becomes reflection on identity, relationships and the subtle thresholds that shape our lives. The work unfolds as a fluid meditation on growth, connection and loss, inviting audiences to perceive the emotional currents that carry us forward and to contemplate the shifting contours of life.
In a Swiss adaptation of Georg Büchner’s novella “Lenz,” this musical ceremony delves into themes of loss and mourning. Three musicians pay tribute to the character Lenz, set against a backdrop reminiscent of mountains and an inner void. Blending the Alpine horn, folklore, and Fauré’s Requiem with Büchner’s words, the event explores madness, brotherhood, and hope. Through inner landscapes and traditional sounds, the celebration gently illuminates human fragility.
FURTHER AFIELD
Directed by Nathalie Béasse, Le bruit des arbres qui tombent is a poetic stage piece where nature reasserts itself and motion becomes metamorphosis. Four characters’ stories intertwine in a sequence of vividly imagined tableaux that shift the everyday into the extraordinary. Between melancholy and grace, the production blends striking visual composition, touches of absurd humour and sudden joys, probing intimacy, family ties and social constraints through a sensitive, inventive theatrical language.

In her debut choreographic work, international whacking icon Mounia Nassangar delves into the power of dance as a substitute for words when they fall short. Featuring five dancers with diverse backgrounds and bodies, this piece embodies the urgency and expression that arise from oppression, presenting a personal and evocative take on this cultural movement.
The Orchestre de la Suisse Romande, joined by pianist Khatia Buniatishvili and conducted by Jonathan Nott, will perform Debussy’s “Images pour orchestre,” followed by Brahms’ Piano Concerto No. 2. Initially met with criticism, Debussy’s “Images” are now celebrated as a pinnacle of early 20th-century French music. Similarly, Brahms’ Concerto No. 2, once criticized, has won the favor of audiences worldwide.
Revived by director Ninon Fachard after the original staging by Véronique Ros de la Grange, this solo piece stars Jacques Michel with Caroline Gasser as the prompter. Lighting by Rinaldo Del Boca and music by Alain Lamarche carve intimate, shadowed spaces around a red sequined curtain. Makeup by Natalia Lepianka and costumes by Emilie Revel shape the fading glamour of a music‑hall star who soliloquises, recalls past glory and loss, and sings in playback—an inward plunge toward memory and survival.
