Focus Jeune Création brings together a new generation of Romand artists over two weeks, presenting five bold and hybrid performances that blur theatre, performance and live art.

FURTHER AFIELD

Bertrand Belin sculpts a deliberately wandering pop poised between rock and chanson, threaded with jazz and blues. On his latest album Watt he explores existential themes through poetic, mysterious and luminous writing. His crooner-like delivery and elegant harmonic language combine introspection with expansive, almost stellar arrangements, guiding the listener from intimate passages to wide sonic horizons. The concert offers an elegant, reflective musical voyage.
