ADN Baroque

Performances

Salle du Lignon

Théophile Alexandre blends voice and movement in a stripped-back, vibrant baroque creation that fuses early music with contemporary dance. As singer and dancer he delivers a powerful, singular performance, shaped by Jean-Claude Gallotta’s choreography and Guillaume Vincent’s piano. Twenty-one finely honed pieces unfold like the 21 grams of the soul, where music becomes flesh and gesture turns into melody. Between well-known masterpieces and forgotten treasures, the production offers an intimate, organic journey through human emotions, delicate and intense.

La Parfumerie

At La Parfumerie, “VERTIGES” by Catherine Tinivella Aeschimann takes us to the base of the Eiger’s north face, where five tourists follow the climb of mountaineer Ueli Steck.
