Voix de Fête Festival: Swift Guad & Sentin’l

Booking Required

Swift Guad (from Montreuil) and Geneva’s Sentin’l present a raw, collaborative rap project that blends precise, image-driven lyricism with an uncompromising, truth-telling delivery. After residencies in the mountains and recording sessions in Morocco, they unveil an intimate live set stripped of décor where beats and words take center stage. The production favors space and atmosphere, shifting from tight tension to moments of fragile warmth as two distinct voices interrogate identity, memory and the politics of voice.

Tenor saxophonist Nicolas Masson and pianist Colin Vallon share a rare musical complicity born of over twenty years of collaboration. Their duo — shaped by recordings on the ECM label — unfolds a lyrical, introspective soundscape where composition and improvisation dissolve. Sparse motifs breathe, silences enlarge, and an almost telepathic dialogue reveals nuanced phrasing and attentive listening. The performance offers intimate, resonant moments where melody emerges from the saxophone’s breath and the piano’s lingering resonance, concentrated in the intensity of the present.

5 – 15 February

Directed by Geneviève Pasquier and performed by Vincent Babel, LETTRE À MON DICTATEUR stages Eugène’s cathartic gesture of writing to Nicolae Ceauşescu. The production blends intimate monologue with archival echoes, folding fragments of Pierre Omer’s Swing Revue into a jazz-tinged score that punctuates memory and revelation. The creative space favors spare tableaux, tactile sound textures and a nimble rhythm that offsets historical weight with mischievous warmth, transforming personal trauma into a tender, witty coming-of-age confession.

Performed by Françoise Boillat with Guillaume Béguin, Antigone at Night is a spare, intimate staging from Scènes du Grütli that sets the heroine before seven remarkable trees as silent witnesses to human conflicts. The piece probes justice, submission and insubordination through restrained physicality and poetic text, while a subtle soundscape and attentive lighting sculpt moments of solitude and confrontation, letting centuries-old trunks resonate with the moral weight of inherited laws.

10 – 22 February

In early January 2022, two construction vehicles belonging to a Swiss multinational were set on fire at a gravel pit in the Geneva countryside. Over a year later, a young man — referred to as Jérémy — was arrested and suspected of involvement in the arson. Held in pre-trial detention, he was released after more than three months, following strong public support and mobilization.
