Listening Salon — Les Ostinés

Performances

Buvette IASP

Les Ostinés present an intimate chamber programme spanning Renaissance repertoire to Latin songs, exploring the harmonic and rhythmic links between early music and contemporary popular forms. Using historical instruments—traversos, recorders, violoncello, viola da gamba, baroque guitars and percussion—the five young performers (Lila Walther, Ayoub Aidani, Zoé Kettiger, Vincent Miche and Aurélien Peccoud) shape a refined, playful rhetoric. The ensemble, composed of Conservatoire de Musique de Genève students, favors close textures and expressive nuance, inviting attentive listening.

Les Voüéces

Performances

Théâtre de l'Orangerie

Directed by Louis Bonard, Les Voüéces follows two reclusive women, Rodogonde and Frénéjus, who live atop a high tower. Louis Bonard and Michèle Gurtner wrote and perform a piece in an enchanted pseudo‑medieval tongue where voice, embroidery and play weave a poetic fable. The performance probes silence, the passage of time, guilt and the unsettling presence of other voices — ghostly, culpable or absurd — with a blend of darkness and dark humour.

In French.
