Hyla Crucifer

Booking Required

Led by drummer-composer Lukas Briner, Hyla Crucifer sets narratives to music with a dark, playful and hypnotic sound. The quintet—Vera Baumann (vocals), Julia Rüffert (trombone), Cyrill Ferrari (guitar), Johanna Pärli (double bass) and Briner on drums—crafts a curious sonic palette and a distinctive rhythmic language that blurs genre lines. Sparse textures, propulsive grooves and timbral surprises create an intimate, immersive atmosphere, presenting material from their new EP on Austrian label Boomslang.

Hé, Prométhée !

Performances

Théâtre du Grütli

A solitary man ventures through the desert in search of Prometheus, blaming the gods for igniting a consuming fire within each human. This monologue delves into the connections between ancient tragedy and contemporary turmoil, examining desire and existence through the lenses of love and creation, all in pursuit of an illuminating fire that does not consume.

Maurice Magnoni — iNiT

Performances

AMR

Alto saxophonist Maurice Magnoni presents iNiT, a 60-minute solo improvisation that traces an intimate study of intuition and sound. Drawing from years of spontaneous practice, Magnoni sculpts raw fragments into evolving textures, balancing controlled motifs with moments of chaotic release. Sparse silence and dense multiphonics create a shifting acoustic landscape, while attentive micro-phrasing and dynamic shading invite close listening. The piece foregrounds process over form, offering a concentrated, immersive musical journey.

Théâtre des Marionnettes

Feu au lac ! stages a trio of political puppet pieces that resurrect little-known episodes of Romandy’s social history.

The creative approach foregrounds material histories and the power of popular resistance.
