21 April – 2 May

Directed by Françoise Courvoisier, this theatrical adaptation stages two periods of Grisélidis Réal’s life simultaneously, split between a dignified elder confronting illness and a vibrant earlier self. Martine Schambacher and Françoise Courvoisier embody these contrapuntal figures; assistant director Léa Déchamboux supports the staging. Natacha Jaquerod’s set, Rinaldo Del Boca’s lighting and Nicolas Le Roy’s sound design sculpt intimate, lyrical atmospheres. Drawing on Grisélidis’s letters, the piece blends lyricism and fury into a raw, elegiac portrait of life and writing.

Led by Dee Dee Bridgewater (vocals), the Quartet — with Carmen Staaf (piano), Rosa Brunello (bass) and Shirazette Tinnin (drums) — presents the project “We Exist!”. The performance weaves expressive, elegant jazz that connects past and present through warm phrasing and incisive improvisation. The quartet’s interplay and subtle arrangements create an intimate, luminous atmosphere, shifting between tender balladry and buoyant swing. The result is a heartfelt, commanding musical journey that balances virtuosity with deep emotional warmth.

21 – 23 April

Victor Delétraz’s solo investigates image and the moving body across past, present and future, probing the vulnerability of human pursuits and the tension between hidden and visible. Video interweaves with choreography, found objects, light, sound and text to create a fragmented, anachronistic structure where multiple voices, at once comic, cartoony, political and dramatic, collide. The presentation, framed within the festival C’est déjà demain, emphasizes exploration and the beginnings of artistic form.
