Directed by Sean Gandini and Kati Ylä-Hokkala, Heka is a bold reinvention of juggling within a contemporary circus frame, featuring magician Yann Frisch. The piece blends rigorous ensemble choreography with mind-bending sleight of hand, offering cerebral and visual fireworks where objects seem to have a will of their own, with disappearances, impossible gestures and sudden illusions. Precision, playfulness and a dry, so-British humour create a sharp, wondrous atmosphere.

Oscar M. Damianaki’s Sacré Saoulé gathers a collective of performers to examine mourning, anger and exhaustion through a charged, intimate choreography. The piece moves between bitterness and tenderness, exploring a grief born of ongoing oppression that resists closure.

Co-produced by Emergentia.

Local singers, spoken-word artists and experimental acts share a program of eclectic, intimate pieces that play with mood and atmosphere. Lou Mey, Inkuba 2025–26 artist, appears to introduce her musical universe.

Centred on Sami Bernath’s embodied memories, this performance mixes Swiss popular songs, rhythmic gestures and the traditional Löffelä spoon percussion to transform everyday motions into sound. Through repetition, deformation and rhythmic saturation, familiar motifs become permeable, revealing buried and repressed memories beneath the Swiss mountains. The staging is intimate and ritualistic, alternating fragile vocal fragments and percussive textures to probe memory and collective inheritance.

Two short plays by Anton Chekhov staged by Tibor Ockenfels and Flavie Tapparel, presented as compact dramatic machines where romantic comedy masks escalating confrontations between desire, affection and material interest. Performances rely on precise physical timing, terse exchanges and a lean, playful design to reveal the simmering violence behind courtship rituals. The three actors — Estelle Bridet, Matteo Prandi and Raphaël Vachoux — inhabit heightened character types that shift between farce and darker comic truth, creating a sharply observed, kinetic evening.
