Led by guitarist and composer Bill Frisell, this trio with Luke Bergman and Tim Angulo blends contemporary jazz, experimental rock and American roots—folk, blues and country—into a lyrical, exploratory sound. Frisell’s melodic experimentation and wind-like guitar phrasing meet Bergman’s harmonic insight and Angulo’s mysterious textures, creating intimate interplay and unexpected turns. The programme draws on Frisell’s recent album In My Dreams, offering spacious improvisation, warm nuance and a sense of discovery that balances craft with surprise.

Directed by Gabriel Sparti, Menace Chorale follows an amateur town choir drawn into a tightening ideological mechanism under a charismatic new conductor. The piece uses vocal textures and staged rehearsals to contrast luminous harmonies with the unsettling meanings behind their repertoire, sketching a miniature society where desire, ambition and collective pressure calcify into authoritarian dynamics. Through subtle disruptions, layered readings and meticulous sound and lighting textures, the production feels at once funny, eerie and incisively political.

Conceived by conductor Marie Célérier, Symphon’Hip-Hop brings the Geneva Chamber Orchestra together with Timar, Aamo, Dakeez, Mibsy and Kamil Osmanov to forge a bold dialogue between classical textures and hip‑hop, soul and R&B.

Curated with Planète Rouge, the project balances improvisation and composed structures, creating an exhilarating, urban‑classical soundworld that foregrounds rhythm and collective energy.

Two short plays by Anton Chekhov staged by Tibor Ockenfels and Flavie Tapparel, presented as compact dramatic machines where romantic comedy masks escalating confrontations between desire, affection and material interest. Performances rely on precise physical timing, terse exchanges and a lean, playful design to reveal the simmering violence behind courtship rituals. The three actors — Estelle Bridet, Matteo Prandi and Raphaël Vachoux — inhabit heightened character types that shift between farce and darker comic truth, creating a sharply observed, kinetic evening.
