Dolores, Amor/Adios mortal I Collectif du Feu de dieu

Conceived and directed by Violeta Hodgers and Sara Uslu, Dolores, Amor/Adios mortal is a one-woman contemporary-clown ceremony of farewell. Written and performed by Violeta Hodgers, the piece balances picturesque grace and exalted tragedy as a diva confronts absurdity and loss. Marion Schmid’s costumes and the dramaturgical work of Sara Uslu shape the character’s final moments, while outside eyes from Pauline Raineri, Emmanuel Gil and Laura Gambarini refine the piece. The tone mixes melancholy, dark humour and theatrical ritual, insisting on life and love.

HENGE deliver a space-rock spectacle that blends rave energy and progressive-rock textures. Since arriving seven years ago the band has earned acclaim — two albums, extensive touring and a Best Live Act award — and their performances feel at once exuberant and slightly uncanny.

Directed by Louis Bonard, Les Voüéces follows two reclusive women, Rodogonde and Frénéjus, who live atop a high tower. Louis Bonard and Michèle Gurtner wrote and perform a piece in an enchanted pseudo‑medieval tongue where voice, embroidery and play weave a poetic fable. The performance probes silence, the passage of time, guilt and the unsettling presence of other voices — ghostly, culpable or absurd — with a blend of darkness and dark humour.
