Festival de la Bâtie – Quelle Aurore

Booking Required

Choreographer Soa Ratsifandrihana and singer-performer Bonnie Banane form a striking duo in this hybrid performance that blends dance, music and live art. Performed on moving treadmills, the piece counters bodily numbness and image saturation with movement, play, metamorphosis and wry humour. Identities shift, roles blur and voices intertwine, producing a poetic pop energy and robust choreographic force. Vulnerability becomes a resource that rekindles imagination and collective feeling.

In English.

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.

The programme weaves folk-inflected arrangements and poetic narration to evoke memory, solidarity and the quiet truth of ordinary lives.

Set during a bitter winter in 1980s Turkey amid a military coup, Kar Korsanlari (Snow Pirates) follows three boys who scavenge for coal to survive the cold. With intimate, observational imagery and restrained yet powerful storytelling, the film contrasts the harsh authority of soldiers with the fragile, playful solidarity of childhood. A quietly political and poetic debut, it exposes the mechanisms of repression while celebrating youthful resilience and small acts of compassion.

British singer-songwriter Amaria BB brings a bold fusion of R&B, dancehall and contemporary pop to the GET OUT project.

The program highlights contrasts between introspective balladry and dancefloor-ready grooves, delivered with London grit and a playful, modern edge.
