Masterpiece

Colombian-born Berlin-based choreographer and performer Luisa Fernanda Alfonso inhabits and vocalises the archetypal gestures of character dancers and Mexican mariachis in a sequential black-and-white performance. In collaboration with composer Peter Rubel, she treats sound material as a full creative partner, building and unpicking vocal and choreographic traditions. The piece blends dance, music and song with emblematic gestures and costumes from Latin American cultures to probe questions of tradition, identity, freedom and the act of creation.

Centred on Sami Bernath’s embodied memories, this performance mixes Swiss popular songs, rhythmic gestures and the traditional Löffelä spoon percussion to transform everyday motions into sound.

Double Jeu is a sharp, playful improvisation show built around strategy, split-second choices and mutual misdirection. Each performer receives a secret mission and must weave it discreetly into the action, turning every scene into a live game of influence, bluff and comic escalation. The result is fast, unpredictable theatre where the ensemble’s timing, listening and inventiveness keep the audience guessing until the very last exchange.
