Novecento

Performances

Booking Required

Adapted by Cie Le Magnifique Théâtre from Alessandro Baricco’s novella, Novecento is a maritime fable directed by Julien Schmutz. Actor Michel Lavoie embodies the narrator while pianist-composer Max Jendly conjures nightly jazz waves that shape the piece’s soundworld. The staging transforms stage into ship, where music becomes horizon and memory, blending poetic storytelling and live piano improvisation. The production favours a dreamlike, suspended atmosphere that explores solitude, belonging and the liberating force of music.

Christoph Grab’s Shape & Form ensemble

Performances

AMR

On Season 25–26, Christoph Grab’s SHAPE & FORM ensemble sculpts music that breathes, born of motifs and intervals and full of sudden changes. Without fixed chords, a linear, wandering harmony carries collective improvisation: alto and tenor saxophones (Christoph Grab), trumpet (Lina Allemano), piano (Matthieu Mazué), double bass (Christian Weber) and drums (Dieter Ulrich). Between jazz, contemporary-classical colours and pulsating rhythms, the group builds a dense, open sound space where structure and spontaneity evolve in equal measure.
