Les Voüéces

Performances

Théâtre de l'Orangerie

Directed by Louis Bonard, Les Voüéces follows two reclusive women, Rodogonde and Frénéjus, who live atop a high tower. Louis Bonard and Michèle Gurtner wrote and perform a piece in an enchanted pseudo‑medieval tongue where voice, embroidery and play weave a poetic fable. The performance probes silence, the passage of time, guilt and the unsettling presence of other voices — ghostly, culpable or absurd — with a blend of darkness and dark humour.

In French.

Sapin Magique — Psychedelic Improvised Music

Performances

Buvette IASP

Led by the duo Sapin Magique—Luc Muller and Marcin de Morsier—this improvised set blends psychedelic, shamanic and regressive currents to realign perception and recall primary musical instincts. Ethnic, electric and electronic instruments—sometimes imperfect—are joined by toys and found hardware, conjuring hypnotic, childlike refrains and abrupt New Age accents. The evening also presents kokhlias (Olga Kokcharova) and loulan (Antoine Läng), framing the concert as a loose, communal ritual of sonic exploration and raw beauty.
