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.

In French.

Ensemble Temenos presents a program drawn from Arcangelo Corelli’s first four Opuses of Sonate a tre, tracing the emergence of the trio sonata and its two principal genres, da chiesa and da camera. The programme contrasts solemn, contrapuntal church movements with lively dance forms—allemande, courante, gigue—showing how harmonic clarity and expressive rhetoric shaped Baroque chamber music. Performed with period sensitivity, the ensemble favours architectural resonance and rhythmic drive, offering an intimate, luminous sound world.

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.

9 – 12 September

Samar Haddad King’s Shabaab blends dance, theatre and puppetry to trace the intimate bond between two Palestinian friends, Mohamed and Mahmoud. Through movement, dialogue and a haunting puppet by Sipho Ngxola, the piece reconstructs memories, imagined futures and the silences carved by colonial violence. The choreography explores youth, tenderness and forms of resistance, creating a fragile space where friendship becomes a means of survival and poetic witness.

In English and Arabic with French surtitles.

8 – 9 September

Choreographed by Christos Papadopoulos, My Fierce Ignorant Step gathers ten bodies whose mounting breath becomes the show’s engine. The piece translates performers’ respiration into kinetic waves and layered soundscapes, dialoguing with the contemporary music of Mikis Theodorakis. Drawing on the choral pulse of ancient tragedy, the work collapses collective Hellenic memory into intimate reveries — the impulse of beginnings, the buoyancy of first encounters and the spontaneous spark of early laughter. The staging is physical, precise and visceral.
