Choreia

With Choreia, a polyballet whose title refers to the harmonious union of song, speech, and dance within a chorus, the CocoonDance Company presents a performance featuring eight dancers who dissolve the conventional boundaries between stage and audience, dance and voice, choral singing and theatrical action.

In doing so, they reconnect with the roots of theatre, reviving the very essence of the chorus in Greek comedy—a blend of dance, song, and action. Choreia is a show that pushes the traditional limits of dance by exploring the concept of the chorus and redefining the interaction between performers and spectators.

World premiere in French at La Cité Bleue
Music: Thomas Leininger | Libretto: Cédric Costantino & Tina Hartmann

What if the dinosaurs missed Noah’s Ark—not because of a meteorite, but because a sundial was thrown off by the clouds? In this whimsical yet thought-provoking opera, Charles Darwin and his beloved Galápagos iguana travel through time to give dinosaurs a second chance. Boarding a fantastical ship, the creatures set off in search of a magical plant that might transform them into birds and save them from the Flood.

Part satire, part tender fable, Les Dinos et l’Arche brings together humans, animals, and extinct species in a distorted mirror of our own changing society. Through absurd dialogues, wild transformations, and a swirl of humor and emotion, the opera reminds us that survival often demands reinvention.

Directed by Julien Condemine, with musical direction by Leonardo García-Alarcón, and performed by a vibrant cast and a ten-piece ensemble, this visually daring and musically rich production draws on baroque influences to speak to curious minds of all ages.

Choreographed by Trajal Harrell and performed by the Zürich Dance Ensemble, Caen Amour blurs the line between dance and runway, mixing representation with sharp cultural commentary. The piece draws on the late-19th-century hoochie-coochie and orientalist spectacle, reworking those flamboyant gestures into a transcultural odyssey. Costumes, music and lighting interplay to sculpt a theatrical, sensual atmosphere where movement, pageantry and critique collide, inviting reflection on performance, identity and spectacle.

The staging privileges sensory intensity, blending physical virtuosity, rhythmic precision and immersive soundscapes to deliver a visceral, kinetic experience.
