Roma: Shadows and Lights of Italian Baroque

Booking Required

Under the direction of Leonardo García‑Alarcón, Roma is a large-scale oratorio that revisits the foundational gesture of García‑Alarcón and Cappella Mediterranea. The programme journeys through Roman polyphony, alternating masterpieces and rarities by Luigi Rossi, Alessandro Scarlatti, Gregorio Allegri and Giovanni Giorgi. The Constellation sound design transforms the performance space to unfold Allegri’s Miserere in intense chiaroscuro. Solo voices and the Namur Chamber Choir converse with Cappella Mediterranea, creating a luminous, immersive baroque experience.

Conceptual artist John M Armleder brings together composer-performers Stephan Eicher and Christian Marclay in the context of his ‘Observatoires’ project. For the first time, these three figures convene in a performance that merges visual installation and live sound. Armleder’s treatment of the space — its silvered surfaces and an emphasis on emptiness — frames fragile melodies, found noises and sustained textures. The result is an immersive sonic-visual dialogue where metallic light, silence and spontaneous interaction reshape listening.

Fiona is a sharp-tongued stand-up exploring dark themes with sly precision. Fluent in six languages and fluent in sarcasm, she weaves black humour that ranges from yoga to assisted suicide, balancing Swiss deadpan with an ego honed on Parisian stages. Her debut solo hour mixes scripted riffs and on-the-spot improvisation with the audience, delivering bite and lightness in equal measure. The result is a compact, daring comedy set that probes taboos while keeping a playful, theatrical edge.
