To conclude its season in style, GECA welcomes Sampa The Great, a Zambian hip-hop icon.

David McVicar’s staging of Mozart’s The Magic Flute frames a fantastical quest of love and initiation.

McVicar balances fairy-tale spectacle and intimate emotion, conjuring luminous ensembles and eerie choruses, where the enchanted flute guides encounters with danger, wonder and sudden tenderness.

Baptiste Cazaux presents a fragmented physical dance work that upends the senses. As choreographer and performer, Cazaux sculpts an explosive, hyperkinetic body that collides gestures, styles and sonic fragments like a DJ scratching samples. That’s Twisted mixes pop hymn nostalgia from the 2010s with a psychedelic collage of movement and sound, destabilising time, affect and perception. The piece traces contemporary melancholy and seeks transcendence through layered rhythms, distorted textures and sudden shifts in intensity. Création 2026, coproduction.
Victor Delétraz’s solo investigates image and the moving body across past, present and future, probing the vulnerability of human pursuits and the tension between hidden and visible. Video interweaves with choreography, found objects, light, sound and text to create a fragmented, anachronistic structure where multiple voices, at once comic, cartoony, political and dramatic, collide. The presentation, framed within the festival C’est déjà demain, emphasizes exploration and the beginnings of artistic form.
