The staging favors psychological clarity and a charged, oscillating atmosphere that leaves the audience unsettled and moved.

Led by oud master Anouar Brahem, this quartet features Klaus Gesing (bass clarinet, saxophone), Björn Meyer (bass) and Khaled Yassine (darbouka, bendir). The programme weaves lyrical oud lines with chamber-like harmonic textures, where improvisation meets Western compositional harmony and refined Eastern modes. Sparse rhythmic pulses and warm low-register sonorities create a contemplative, meditative atmosphere, shifting into moments of lively interplay. The music invites close listening, revealing delicate timbres and subtle dynamic contrasts.

His provocative and often humorous works invite audiences to reconsider what art can be and where it can happen.

Brigade financière stages a tense, chamber drama by Hugues Leforestier that confronts the logic of contemporary finance. Under Antony Mettler’s direction, Christian Gregori and Maria Mettral embody a sharp, cerebral duel between a financial crimes commissioner and an accused executive. Christian Gregori also signs scenography and costumes while Florian Cuellar sculpts the lighting. The production blends police-procedural suspense with satirical intelligence, probing power, privilege and the contradictions of today’s economic system.
