Danyèl Waro

Performances

Le Rez-Usine

Booking Required

Danyèl Waro is a seminal voice of Maloya from Réunion, blending raw percussion, creole poetry and demanding political urgency. A poet-musician and craftsman, he performs on self-made instruments—kayams, roulérs and pikérs—channeling ancestral rhythms into powerful calls for social memory, resistance and cultural preservation. His concerts unfold in intense, communal energy: trance-like grooves, penetrating vocal declarations and spare, organic arrangements that move between lament and defiant hope.

Vertiges

Performances

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. Turning simple observation into an intense immersion, they experience the emotions of Steck and his partner. This piece, a blend of sports commentary and alpine storytelling, delves into our connection with achievement and performance, while also recalling the ghosts of the Eiger’s victims. Directed by Tamara Fischer, this show offers a communal and introspective experience.

Voyage au bout de la nuit

Performances

Théâtre des Amis

Adapted and performed by Felipe Castro, this solo staging probes the absurdity of war, murderous nationalism and the raw misery at the heart of Céline’s writing. Coach José Lillo supports a performance of muscular, visceral language while Natacha Jaquerod’s set, Rinaldo Del Boca’s lighting and Jean Faravel’s sound sculpt stark, claustrophobic atmospheres. The production balances brutal imagery with moments of surprising humanity, revealing the author’s vocation as a doctor through an intimate, relentless theatrical journey.
