Performed and written by David Castello-Lopes, Délicieux is a family-friendly solo performance that explores the complex sources of pleasure through humour and reflection. The piece moves between sensory delights — from savouring local cheese to the shared quirks of language — and darker, unexpected impulses, inviting the audience to consider how joy, desire and social codes intertwine. Intimate and witty, the staging favours close connection with the performer.

The concert-style performances, devoid of sets and costumes, heighten the dramatic intensity, promising unforgettable evenings.
French association LALCA presents a collective listening session of its sound productions, accompanied by a discussion with Natacha, a social worker involved with the Point d’eau project.

The session highlights collaborative, site-responsive practices that blend sonic, plastic and urban interventions to reveal unheard voices and contested urban narratives.
Under the dual leadership of Sergey Ostrovsky, who conducts and performs as violin soloist, this closing concert presents Johannes Brahms’s Violin Concerto, Op. 77, alongside Felix Mendelssohn’s Symphony No. 3, Op. 56 “Scottish”.

Expect finely shaped phrases, radiant string tone and dramatic contrasts that highlight both virtuosity and poetic depth.
