Witch Hunting

Choreographed by Anne Nguyen, Witch Hunting brings six dancers—steeped in krump, popping and urban and traditional African forms—into a raw yet precise confrontation. On a stripped stage each body asserts singularity and is then swept into collective dynamics, oscillating between dominance and dissent. Inspired by persecutions and the figure of the scapegoat, the piece probes collective fears while an original score of percussion, prepared piano and krump textures underscores a visceral, brotherly call to diversity.

27 – 31 October

Directed by Gabriel Sparti, Menace Chorale follows an amateur town choir drawn into a tightening ideological mechanism under a charismatic new conductor. The piece uses vocal textures and staged rehearsals to contrast luminous harmonies with the unsettling meanings behind their repertoire, sketching a miniature society where desire, ambition and collective pressure calcify into authoritarian dynamics. Through subtle disruptions, layered readings and meticulous sound and lighting textures, the production feels at once funny, eerie and incisively political.

29 October – 1 November

Directed by Gilles Guénat and written by Roxane Gray, The Wall is a dance-theatre piece that immerses audiences in a musical and choreographic tapestry around the history of the Berlin Wall. Choreographies by Fabrice Martin, Sabine Gross-Collé, Gilles Guénat and Anthony Despras shape a fluid dialogue between a woman and a man, where the personal and the political intertwine. A company of around ten artists navigates intimate gestures and collective movements, evoking memory, rupture and resilient lyricism.

Stéphane Blok returns with City 8047, an album shaped in Zurich and recorded live on guitar and voice, with no post-production edits. His acoustic playing folds melody, harmony and percussion into the same gesture, creating raw, stripped-down arrangements that feel both immediate and intimate. The songs move between irony and emotion, reflecting on AI, virtuality, fakery and dehumanization without slipping into polemic. Each track keeps its own resonance, carried by precise lyrics and a singular stage presence.

28 October – 8 November

Directed by Eléonore Bonah and staged by scenographer Maria Clara Castioni, CHRÜSIMÜSI transforms Adelheid Duvanel’s terse, poetic fragments into a multilingual theatrical tapestry. Performers Eléonore Bonah and Maria Clara Castioni inhabit hypersensitive, marginal characters whose everyday gestures oscillate between absurdity and tenderness. Sparse staging and a careful interplay of voice and silence highlight Duvanel’s Kafkaesque intimacy, while language shifts (French, German, Italian) create a fragile, dreamlike atmosphere that balances humour and quiet despair, celebrating stubborn acts of resistance.

28 – 31 October

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.

28 October – 7 November
