Choreographer and performer Trajal Harrell places music at the heart of his practice in this solo. Revisiting tracks embedded in his consciousness, he traces how time reshapes the body, the heart and the mind, and what remains. The piece stages a dialogue with the lived history of the choreographed body, reaching beyond individual biography to examine memory, rhythm and presence. Created in 2026 in collaboration with Théâtre Vidy‑Lausanne.

The performance privileges attentive listening, intimate dynamics and slow-burn emotional intensity, where close interplay and delicate phrasing unfold a spacious, deeply human sound world.
Directed and performed by Eve Aouizerate, Amours subversives stages a wry, intimate interrogation of gender and desire. With performers Mathilde Lyon and Dylan Poletti, the piece pivots on a provocative premise — a young woman’s decision to abandon a nascent career for the tradwife ideal — and unfolds as a personal theatrical essay on power, intimacy and the contradictions of femininity in 2026. Sparse staging and candid narration create a fierce, tender atmosphere.
