Grégoire Maret & Friends

Booking Required

Geneva-born harmonica virtuoso Grégoire Maret leads an intimate jazz programme that reframes the harmonica as a lyrical, improvisatory voice. Winner of multiple Grammy Awards, Maret draws on collaborations with Herbie Hancock, Pat Metheny, Sting and Marcus Miller to shape a sound marked by melodic warmth and harmonic subtlety. Accompanied by a tight ensemble of friends, the performance balances delicate nuance and spontaneous interplay, where breath, timbre and silence create a contemplative yet visceral listening experience.

Directed by Céline Goormaghtigh and written by Anne Berest, LA VISITE probes maternal instinct with sharp humour and urgent intensity. In a compact domestic setting, a young mother at the limits of endurance confronts visitors while her defenses dissolve; a trio of actresses whirl and collide, delivering a caustic torrent of language and revealing movement. The work explores ‘matraissance’—the birth of motherhood—balancing lucidity, rage and tenderness to unsettle familiar myths about maternal bliss.

Originally created for the 50th anniversary of Printemps de Bourges and presented in collaboration with Electron Festival × Les Créatives, the work offers an immersive, reflective exploration of memory and legacy.
