The concert offers an elegant, reflective musical voyage.

Alain Della Maestra returns to the stage with his trio — trumpet (Alain Della Maestra), piano (Enrico Perelli) and drums (Luigi Lamarca) — for an evening of mellow jazz, bossa nova and Brazilian‑infused improvisation. Drawing on over fifty years of performing and a decade based in North America, he blends intimate swing, acoustic elegance and Latin colours. Expect warm, nuanced phrasing, close interplay and moments of spontaneous dialogue as the trio navigates standards, bossa‑novas and original improvisations with a lyrical touch.

3 – 22 November

Directed by Marie-José Malis, Retour au pays revisits Hugo von Hofmannsthal’s letters through a spare, lucid staging. Performers Alexandra Tiedemann and Juan Crespillo inhabit the returning merchant’s disorientation, while Aurélia Ansermet provides live music and sound. Bernard Héritier’s scenography and Jessy Ducatillon’s lighting shape moments of visual surprise, most poignantly a Van Gogh encounter that restores belief in the world. The piece refuses facile answers, offering theatrical lucidity and an austere emotional clarity.

Four performers embody testimonies from different generations in Sept, situated at the crossroads of dance and film. Between intimate confidences and tender tableaux, the piece examines how age shapes us and stages a delicate exploration of what growing older means, revealing a shared humanity. The staging shifts between projected images and live bodies, weaving visual and physical layers to create an experience that is both poetic and unsettling.

17 September – 18 December

Created by Manon Bril and Etienne Lautrette and directed by Théo Comby Lemaitre, this hybrid lecture-performance blends scholarly rigour with theatrical wit. Historian Manon Bril guides the audience through surprising episodes of human history, overturning assumptions with a sharp, offbeat humour and playful staging. The show mixes clear popular-science explanation, theatrical images and comic timing to reveal that nothing has “always been like this”.
