Choreographed by Raphaële Teicher and performed by Marthe Krummenacher, this 20-minute dance responds to the haunting imagery of Carlos Schwabe’s La Vague. The piece weaves fluid solos and taut, sculptural gestures within an intimate soundscape to probe themes of memory, mourning and metamorphosis. Lighting and a minimal set carve shifting shadows that echo the painting’s symbolism, creating a concentrated, contemplative atmosphere in dialogue with the exhibition.

Choreographer Cindy Van Acker brings Iannis Xenakis’s Pléïades to the stage, assembling five dancers, six percussionists from the Eklekto collective and a large percussion arsenal. Van Acker shapes a moving percussion landscape where bodies confront the score’s power and complexity, constantly shifting posture and relation to sound. Music is played live; scenography and lighting by Victor Roy frame waves, galaxies and whirlwinds in a rigorous, visceral performance. Creation 2026; coproduction.
Directed as an in situ promenade, this performance follows two protagonists, P. and B., through the city’s hidden seams. B. conspires to seed an exuberant vegetal uprising, mastering invasive plants to unsettle urban order. P. slips into the city’s blind spots, picking locks and slipping through barriers to reveal alternative ways of inhabiting public space. The show mixes physical theatre, poetic staging and ecological imagination to explore rewilding, intimacy and civic subversion.
