The Orchestre Concertus, joined by the Ensemble Vocal Orphée and soloists under the baton of Matthieu Schweyer, will perform works by Antonio Vivaldi at Victoria Hall. The program includes “The Four Seasons,” “Concerto for Four Violins,” and the “Magnificat.”
An original text by Virginie Despentes is brought to life by a dancer, an actor, a percussionist, and a singer. This performance delves into contemporary themes of anger, violence, and disillusionment with a fiery clarity, dark humor, and a desperate tenderness, urging for a revolution of compassion.

Written by Penda Diouf and staged by Evelyne Castellino, LA GRANDE OURSE is an ecofeminist fable that traces a mother’s descent after a minor incident becomes criminalized. Combining video, choreographed movement and choral voices, the piece weaves police violence, racism and sexism into a hallucinatory, dystopian world where omnipresent surveillance watches every gesture. As the heroine reconnects with ancestral nature by transforming into a bear, the production evokes animal survival instinct, collective gossip and the fragile line between humanity and wildness, offering a visceral, poetic reflection on power and resistance.

Le Grand Bal, by Cie Dyptik and directed by Souhail Marchiche and Mehdi Meghari, gathers nine performers in a fierce choreography that turns movement into political gesture. The piece blends raw physicality, collective pulse and dramatic tension—sweat, struggle and exaltation drive a ritual-like dance that resists stasis and norms. Lighting and movement sculpt a visceral atmosphere where each gesture reads as both revolt and release, inviting the audience into a shared trance of embodied freedom.
Performed by Camélia Acef and Youri Rebeko, La tête ailleurs is a light, comic musical about Norah, who can’t help hearing songs in her head whenever she tries to concentrate. The piece slides between Broadway-classic, funk, pop and tango, treating the intrusive melodies as a playful yet unsettling manifestation of the unconscious. The staging balances energetic numbers and intimate moments, probing memory and identity. The show was nominated at the 2025 Trophées de la Comédie Musicale (Best Book; Revelation Masculine for Youri Rebeko).
