Choreographed by Davi Pontes and Wallace Ferreira, Repertório N.1 makes dance an act of self‑defense. Drawing on voguing, ballroom culture, capoeira and queer community codes, the piece transforms the body into a territory of resistance, turning the gesture of a firearm back against the power it symbolizes. Performed without music, the work relies on breath, the impact of steps and the scrape of sneakers, moving between stillness, vogue poses and sudden, frenzied accelerations.
Led by musical director Horacio Salinas, Inti-Illimani Histórico revisits a five-decade legacy of Latin American song with layered melodies and precise ensemble interplay. Joined by José Seves and Horacio Durán, the group blends folk traditions, instrumental virtuosity and poetic arrangement, moving between intimate refrains and sweeping, communal choruses. The music evokes memory and collective dreams, built from acoustic textures and resilient rhythms that travel across cultures, creating an immersive, reflective soundworld.
Choreographed by Saša Asentić, Le Sacre du printemps is a reimagined Stravinsky landmark performed by the inclusive company Per.Art. Drawing on historical versions by the Ballets Russes, Maurice Béjart and Pina Bausch and enriched with the voices of disabled poets from Serbia, Iran, Ukraine and the United States, the seven dancers invert the original narrative. The staging transforms ritual into a manifesto of survival, blending physical rigor, collective solidarity and poetic testimony to renew the score as a cry for life.
FURTHER AFIELD
Created and directed by Juliette Navis, this theatrical piece is the second in a triptych that interrogates three pop‑culture icons confronting existential crises. Through a fictional Céline Dion—at the height of fame and adulation—the work probes finitude and how one faces disappearance. The staging blends satire and intimacy, confronting taboos of money, death and sex with poetic choreography and sharp dramaturgy.

Three organ recitals offering intimate portraits of the instrument through contrasting programmes by Damien Desbenoit, Stéphane Mottoul and Jan Lehtola. Each recital balances baroque, romantic and contemporary repertoire, emphasizing registration, timbral contrasts and the acoustic dialogue between instrument and space. Performances favour attentive, contemplative listening and showcase the performers’ interpretive finesse. Programme notes and detailed PDFs are available for each recital.
Scène Vagabonde’s seventh edition brings a compact program of contemporary theatre and music, presenting three contrasting stage works — “Par le bout du nez”, “Quadrille” and “Prima facie” — alongside a concert by Orchestre Tout Puissant Marcel Duchamp as part of La Bâtie-Festival de Genève. Across intimate stagings the festival favors inventive direction, close ensemble interplay and a balance of wit and intensity, offering encounters that privilege physical presence, tonal variety and rigorous dramaturgy.
Un conseil d’ami is a taut, intimate theatre piece that probes the fragile ties between friendship and trust. The staging favours close-up interactions, subtle lighting and spare design to heighten emotional detail. Performers move between colloquial realism and heightened, poetic moments, navigating moral ambiguity and small acts of care. The piece invites concentration on gesture, voice and timing, offering a quietly intense experience of human connection and moral questioning.
