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.
Directed by Elidan Arzoni, this fiery, hilarious staging of Yasmina Reza’s play follows two couples whose polite attempt to resolve a quarrel between their sons collapses into a savage verbal carnage. Performers Sophie Broustal, Vincent Jacquet, Camille Édith Bouzaglo and Frédéric Landenberg unleash sharp, tightly wound exchanges, while Benoît Delaunay’s scenography and Hervé Broillet’s costumes frame escalating social fractures. Danielle Milovic’s lighting and meticulous stagecraft intensify a darkly comic exploration of civility, hypocrisy and unleashed instincts.

Choreographed by Cindy Van Acker with Cie Greffe, Les Impromptus grew from the choreographer’s solitary encounters with the paintings of Léon Spilliaert. These ephemeral, site-responsive performances are invented in the moment: short, spontaneous pieces shaped by interactions with artworks, spaces and present spectators. Emphasising proximity and improvisation, the work unfolds through the company’s refined movement vocabulary, exploring presence, memory and the play of light and silence to create intimate, immediate compositions rooted in the here and now.
Sara Hebe is a major figure in Latin American rap and contemporary urban music. Renowned for her commanding stage presence and blunt, politically charged lyrics, she presents material from her seventh album, Negocionismo. The project fuses driving techno, heavy dubstep, electronic punk and raw hip-hop while preserving her singular voice. Live, her performances mix tense rhythmic propulsion, confrontational delivery and moments of cathartic release, creating an intense, immersive experience that blends dancefloor energy with sharp social commentary.
JazzContreBand celebrates its 30th anniversary with a new creation led by trumpeter Erik Truffaz. Franco‑Swiss musicians join forces with the Orchestre des Alpes et du Léman in Side by Side, a programme that blends classical writing, jazz phrasing and open-ended improvisation. The project explores textural contrasts, orchestral colours and solo interplay, shifting from intimate chamber passages to wide, cinematic swells. Expect nuanced dynamics, luminous timbres and collaborative dialogue across genres.
Choreographed and created by Vanessa Riera, this défilé-performance brings together a mixed community of young people in migration, artistic trainees and youth experiencing social rupture, who prepared the work through workshops and perform as the runway cast. The creative team includes a musician, a scenographer, an assistant, a technician and a make-up artist. Reclaimed garments sourced from textile bins and a social wardrobe are reshaped into sculptural, elegant costumes. The piece blends fashion and choreography to explore belonging, identity and material transformation.
Led by the Big Band des Eaux-Vives, this concert reimagines classic hard-bop repertoire with original arrangements of works by Art Blakey, Horace Silver, Lee Morgan, Freddie Hubbard and Oliver Nelson. The ensemble blends robust brass, propulsive rhythms and moments of lyrical reflection, creating a lively tribute to the spirit of the Messengers. Special guest Daniel Leveillé extends the music into movement with virtuosic tap, while attentive staging and lighting sculpt a warm, dynamic sound-world.
