Born in Cornwall around musician Will Greenham, Blind Yeo blends psych‑folk, krautrock and psychedelic rock into expansive, trance‑like songs. Electric guitars weave repetitive patterns over deep bass and insistent rhythms, while occasional vocal lines drift into the instrumental texture. The project functions as a constellation of collaborators: Sam Pert (drums), Phil Self (guitars), Henry Greenham (synths), Philippa Blum (cello), Jake Sheridan (bass), Anouska Helm (voice, guitar) contribute to a fluid, evolving sound that favors slow-building, immersive grooves.

A forgotten cassette in a tape recorder becomes the key to a journey through time.
Two coworkers, Kurt and Willard, are plunged into the heart of an unprecedented psychiatric experiment where delirium and lucidity intertwine.

They must piece together a puzzle that will lead them to the very edge of madness. “Why are you so angry? …Because all of a sudden I was taking control of something? …Huh? Until now you were used to completely controlling the situation, and now this strangeness has crept into your life…”

Aline Courvoisier designs costumes and Danielle Milovic and Loane Ruga the lighting. Coproduction: F.A.B Force Prod., Venedig Meer.

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.
