Based on the Jekyll myth, this theatrical adaptation examines metamorphosis as both physical and social, probing identity, gender and the boundary between good and male/female. Stark black-and-white staging and chiaroscuro lighting evoke twilight and old horror films, while a persistent, slicing fog thickens the atmosphere. The venerable Dr Jekyll’s unsettling experiments unfold in a late-19th-century London laboratory, and his circle is drawn into mounting anguish as transformations accelerate.

Petrossian’s Cyclades pieces close the program with luminous, island-inspired echoes, emphasizing intimate atmosphere and contemplative sonorities.
Led by Geneva-based musician YaĂ«l Miller, Rhizomes is an ensemble that weaves contemporary folk, world music and poetic song into a porous musical fabric.
