Performances

The company Chantal et Bernadette explores, with both naïveté and documentary precision, the foundations and challenges of the education system through the story of Kévin, who feels let down by it. By merging scientific inquiry with theatrical expression, they engage the audience’s critical thinking. This production is a collaborative creation by Arnaud Hoedt, Jérôme Piron, Antoine Defoort, and Clément Thirion, developed in close partnership with researchers, with special attention to set design and technical aspects.

Chiara Bersani — Sottobosco

Performances

Pavillon ADC

Choreographer Chiara Bersani invites the audience into the undergrowth of an imagined forest, performed in duo with dancer Elena Sgarbossa and a group of workshop participants. The piece stages bodies limited by disability to probe movement, survival and collective care. Inspired by confinement and the inequalities revealed by the pandemic, it turns the stage into an ecosystem — a vibrating floor, layered soundscape and a shared spatial attention — where small gestures, bodily memory and vulnerability become transformative forces and the basis for a newly imagined community.

Complete Játékok cycle

Performances

Conservatoire de Musique de Genève

Artistic direction by Cédric Pescia frames a collective traversal of György Kurtág’s landmark piano cycle Játékok, performed by students and young pianists from HEM, CMG, CPMDT, IJD and pre‑college programmes. The cycle presents Books I–X alongside the world premiere of the unpublished Book XI, a sequence of miniatures that are playful yet exacting. The repertoire explores gesture, texture and concentrated musical language, creating an intimate sonic landscape that balances delicate detail with sudden bursts of intensity. Presented for Kurtág’s centenary and CMG’s 190th anniversary.

Simple Machines

Performances

Théâtre des Marionnettes

Choreographer Ugo Dehaes replaces his human troupe with extravagant robot-dancers endowed with an artificial intelligence that invents their own choreography. Intimate and unsettling, the performance invites the audience to sit around a table as the mechanised performers execute an uncanny, rhythmic ballet. Marie Peeters’ dramaturgy frames questions about labour, profit and the place of culture, while Wannes Deneer’s scenography and musical composition shape a tactile, immersive atmosphere. The piece blends humour, critique and physical precision.
