Smile!

Booking Required

Sabine Devieilhe reveals an unexpected facet of her art in this intimate recital, leaving grand operatic heroines aside to explore cabaret, café-concert and musical theatre. Accompanied by the ensemble I Giardini with arrangements by Emmanuel Touchard and stage direction by Laurent Pelly, the programme pairs Francis Poulenc and Erik Satie with Stephen Sondheim, Édith Piaf, Joséphine Baker and Charlie Chaplin. The performance balances virtuosity, a luminous timbre and precise diction, where the smile flirts with melancholy. In coproduction with I Giardini and Les Grandes Voix.

Concert – John Armleder Trio

Performances

MAH

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.

D’amour et d’eau fraîche

Performances

Théâtre du Loup

Directed by Rémi Dufay, D’amour et d’eau fraîche is a stage adventure that celebrates movement, friendship and the unforeseen. Rémi Dufay and his ensemble probe margins and fragile frames, staging situations that slip away in a deliberately unsteady ceremony. The production blurs reality and magic, carrying the audience through a joyful, rocambolic wandering. A lively, generous performance that refuses stillness and favours continual transformation.

Elina Duni – Rob Luft – Matthieu Michel

Performances

AMR

Elina Duni and Rob Luft began collaborating in 2017 and have since distilled their musical conversation into a pared-down duo project that returns to the intimacy of their first encounter. Joined by Matthieu Michel’s luminous flugelhorn, they weave a nocturnal tapestry of songs evoking moonlight, mystery and quiet joy. The music is contemplative and tender, often meditative, embracing the listener with delicate phrasing and subtle dynamics.

Roma: Shadows and Lights of Italian Baroque

Performances

La Cité Bleue

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.

Trio Joubran — Twenty Springs

Performances

Alhambra

Trio Joubran, formed by brothers Samir, Wissam and Adnan Joubran, presents Twenty Springs: a two-decade survey of their oeuvre for oud. Joined by a string quartet (Valentin Mussou, cello; Anne Gouverneur and Sylvain Favre, violins; Anne Berry, viola) and percussionists Habib Meftah and Ersoj Kazimov, the ensemble expands the trio’s intimate sound into a rich, resonant tapestry. Arrangements alternate fragile solo interludes and sweeping, rhythmic passages, where luminous strings and precise percussion amplify the oud’s plaintive melodies, creating a meditative, emotionally charged journey.

Fiona G. — Trauma & Chill

Performances

Caustic Comedy Club

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.

In French.
