Tania Dutel returns with a new fourth show that sharpens her observational wit into a daring theatrical experiment. Mixing stand-up energy with fragmented narrative and quicksilver timing, she probes miscommunication, identity and the chaos of modern intimacy. Minimal staging and precise rhythms magnify bursts of tenderness and corrosive humour, creating a performance that unsettles and delights. A compact, incisive evening from a fiercely original voice.

Directed by Michele Millner and devised collectively by Théâtre Spirale’s Atelier 1, Three Queens examines feminine violence and power through fragments of Macbeth, The Seagull, The Caucasian Chalk Circle and new texts by participants. The production gathers actors in raw, tactile staging, with musical composition by Mael Godinat and Yves Cerf, movement by Jeanne Pasquier, collaboration and performance by Marie Bondolfi, costumes by Julie Delieutraz and technical work by Jules Bovard. The piece is intimate, political and unsettling, mixing classical echoes and contemporary voices.

Formed in San Diego in 2019 by Sal Samano, Alex Garcia and Josh Lane, Thee Sacred Souls revive classic R&B, doo‑wop, gospel and 60s–70s Chicano soul with a warm groove and three‑part vocal harmonies. Their Daptone Records releases and a viral Tiny Desk appearance brought wide acclaim and endorsements from artists such as SZA and Alicia Keys. On stage they blend vintage arrangements and contemporary sensibility, conjuring close‑knit nostalgia, smoky textures and heartfelt, danceable warmth.
Une Simple Histoire is a tender musical tribute to the late Michel Bühler, celebrating his songs, poetry and humanism. Directed by Roland Vouilloz, the staging brings together Sylvie Bourban (voice) and Jean-Philippe Zwahlen (guitar) in an intimate duet that traces Bühler’s storytelling and travels. The programme weaves folk-inflected arrangements and poetic narration to evoke memory, solidarity and the quiet truth of ordinary lives.

Produced by Maress and COXOG Karpet, Og Karpet First Date assembles a charged lineup: 26Keuss, Trafalgar, Awuni, McMaams and Mohciss. The performance moves between US and French R&B, rap, Afro rhythms and Shatta energy, blending polished grooves with raw street intensity. Tight vocal exchanges, layered production and call-and-response sequences foreground communal dance and a nocturnal, electric atmosphere. The staging favours close interaction and club-oriented dynamics.
Celebrating its 43rd edition, AMR Festival gathers a constellation of jazz and improvised-music projects over five days, offering 27 concerts that range from big-band workshops and modern-jazz sessions to intimate improvised sets and family programming. Artists and ensembles explore spontaneity, collective listening and rhythmic invention, with programming that favours interplay and sonic risk. Lighting and sound design shape shifting atmospheres, from hushed, introspective moments to exuberant, groove-driven peaks, transporting listeners through vivid, communal encounters.
Performed by Ensemble Sinfonietta Bern in an intimate quartet formation, this programme reimagines The Four Seasons as a dialogue between Antonio Vivaldi’s vivid Baroque writing and Max Richter’s ambient-minimalist recompositions. Movements alternate and interweave, contrasting handwritten gestures with cinematic textures. The result is a seasonal journey of shimmering strings, suspended pulses, and sudden bursts of motion, offering both rustic charm and modern radiance. Bonus Richter pieces extend the soundworld into filmic and solo piano resonances, creating a deeply immersive listening experience.
