Dogfight is a musical set in 1960s America on the eve of young Marines’ departure for Vietnam. The plot follows Eddie Birdlace, whose cruel ‘dogfight’ gamble is upended when he meets Rose, an idealistic and sincere young woman. Over a single night, the production confronts themes of masculinity, violence and empathy, blending gritty social realism with moments of tenderness. Sparse staging and intimate musical numbers highlight a painful coming-of-age and the possibility of moral change.
BCUC, the Soweto-born septet, channels Afro-psychedelia into a heady fusion of indigenous funk, politically charged hip‑hop and punk energy. Born from jam sessions in a shipping container, the group blends hypnotic grooves and communal call-and-response into incendiary live rituals. Their WOMEX Artist Award (2023) underscores a practice that gives contemporary voice to ancestral traditions, confronting unheard realities while celebrating spiritual richness with raw, psychedelic force and relentless, dance-driven intensity.
SUN blends stadium-sized pop hooks with the crushing force of modern metal in a self-styled “Brutal Pop”.

Emerging with the album Krystal Metal and having supported acts such as Shaka Ponk and HANABIE, the group pushes genre boundaries with electrifying dynamics and raw intensity. Expect a powerful, immersive sonic experience that alternates between anthem-like clarity and thunderous weight.

Marlène Charpentié conjures a strange papier-mâché garden in this hybrid performance that mixes theatre, clown and dance. Three figures — an obsessed drag-king, a heartbroken diva vampire and a queer Pierrot who tends fading, reviving flowers — share the stage without words. Between absurd humour and a critique of capitalism, the piece plays out like a cracked cabaret where material is worked live: objects are handled, transformed and revealed in a visceral, intimate exchange with the audience.
