Conducted by Romain Mayor, this programme offers a musical journey through excerpts from Giuseppe Verdi’s Nabucco. The Orchestre de la Suisse Romande steps out of the pit to present its lyrical expertise on stage, supporting the powerful choir Le Motet de Genève and delivering majestic soprano arias. Maria José Siri brings intense vocal presence, highlighting the drama and emotional breadth of Verdi’s score in a concentrated, theatrical arrangement.
Choreographed by Saša Asentić, Le Sacre du printemps is a reimagined Stravinsky landmark performed by the inclusive company Per.Art. Drawing on historical versions by the Ballets Russes, Maurice Béjart and Pina Bausch and enriched with the voices of disabled poets from Serbia, Iran, Ukraine and the United States, the seven dancers invert the original narrative. The staging transforms ritual into a manifesto of survival, blending physical rigor, collective solidarity and poetic testimony to renew the score as a cry for life.
Choreographed by Léo Lérus, Gounouj in situ is an intimate, physical dance for four performers that evokes fragile, living landscapes. Rooted in gwoka rhythms and inspired by the creole concept of bousyè, the work blends traditional and contemporary vocabularies to explore vulnerability, transformation and resistance. Bodies shift between human and amphibious states across a sensory soundscape of bird song and marine breath, transforming the stage into a moving ecosystem and proposing a fragile possibility of new balance.

Performed by François Mardirossian, this eight‑hour nocturnal recital explores the minimalism tradition through repetitions and subtle variation. The programme moves between works by Philip Glass, Moondog, Erik Satie, Aphex Twin, Brian Eno, John Cage and other composers, creating an immersive, meditative and physical soundscape that invites listeners to drift in and out. A prelude DJ set by Camille Rhonat opens the evening, framing the transition from ambient textures to focused piano minimalism.
Choreographer and performer Marco D’Agostin fuses scientific lecture, musical comedy and intimate confession in Astéroïde. Posing as a paleontologist, he handles ancient bones while tracing the extinction of dinosaurs, but the scholarly frame cracks as memory, desire and song spill out. A solo that shifts between popular science, theatre and Broadway‑style numbers, it explores loss and survival with wit, physical precision and theatrical exuberance. Produced with Piccolo Teatro di Milano.
