Created by Jennifer Walshe, Some Thinking & Feeling is a work for voice, analogue voice, synthesizer and an experimental fanfare, performed by Ensemble Contrechamps. The piece juxtaposes acoustic and electronic timbres, moving between fragile vocal textures and bold brass eruptions. Through precise notation and theatrical presence, it explores listening, timbre and collective dynamics, inviting focused attention on sound, gesture and ensemble interplay.
Created collectively by the company À l’Ouest with Guillaume Pidancet, this inventive staging reimagines Charles Perrault’s Bluebeard for families.

The intimate ensemble features Pierre Boulben, Hugo Braillard and Loubna Raigneau.

This edition highlights emerging artists—students and career-changers—who receive institutional support to explore and reinvent puppet arts, presenting their first creations.
