Linda Bell

Free

Linda Bell presents an intimate durational performance that navigates repetition, memory and materiality. Working across sculptural processes and live intervention, Bell’s practice unfolds through subtle bodily presence, careful pacing and attention to gesture. The performance is presented within the exhibition Methodical Process alongside works by Nnena Kalu and Marie Gyger and realised in collaboration with Action Space, London. The atmosphere is meditative and finely calibrated, inviting close attention to process and detail.

Magnificat – J.S. Bach & C.P.E. Bach

Performances

Victoria Hall

Two masterful settings of the Magnificat, by J.S. Bach and C.P.E. Bach, present a dialogue between different baroque idioms. The programme highlights radiant choral textures, intimate solo arias and agile instrumental writing, balancing exultant choruses with moments of quiet reflection. Attention to phrasing, articulation and historic performance practice brings clarity and emotional depth, inviting listeners into the sacred and expressive world of late seventeenth- and eighteenth-century music.

Un chemin à travers les mondes

Performances

Théâtre du Loup

Created collectively with SCÈNE ACTIVE, this all-ages performance was devised by around forty young people facing school dropout, guided by a professional artistic team. The Season XI ensemble crafted a fantastical fable exploring friendship, bereavement, addiction, imposed norms, acceptance of difference and consent. Staged in a rich, imaginative world, displaced characters — a demon among mermaids, a princess and a pirate among fairies, a guardian of the fairies in the castle of the Underworld — confront an army of demons as they seek a way home.

Mariés au premier ringard

Performances

Uptown

Mariés au premier ringard is a sharp, character-driven theatrical comedy that dissects the absurdities of modern relationships with warmth and irony. The staging favors close ensemble interaction, a lean scenography and precise lighting that underline shifting loyalties and comic misunderstandings. Moments of tenderness puncture the satire, inviting reflection on intimacy, identity and the small rituals of coupling. It balances humour and poignancy to produce a lively theatrical pulse.

Les farfadets: ou tous les démons ne sont pas de l’autre monde

Performances

Théâtricul

Are Demons Among Us? Berbiguier de Terre-Neuve du Thym was a French citizen from Avignon who, after having his cards read by a fortune-teller, began to see malevolent beings all around him, whom he called “goblins.” The delusion lasted his entire life. His book on demons is an impressively detailed work, written in a rich literary style and containing utterly bizarre content—both pathetic and unintentionally comical.

It constitutes the most complete account of the inner world of a man gripped by profound madness. It was rediscovered in the following century by the Surrealists, notably Raymond Queneau, as well as by enthusiasts of outsider art. The performance will be a montage of the very words of this famous “literary madman” and will offer the audience a journey into the labyrinth of his thoughts.

Salle Grand-Salève

Directed and written by Coralie Vollichard, Finisterre follows the imagined voyage of Marcia Le Goff, a Breton solo sailor in a round‑the‑world race.
