Suffocation (EU Tour)

Booking Required

Formed in 1988 on Long Island, Suffocation helped define brutal death metal with relentless riffs, complex rhythms and guttural vocals. On this tour they share the bill with Ingested, Undeath and Eternal, creating a night of extreme heaviness and technical ferocity. Expect densely layered compositions, crushing breakdowns and high-energy performances that emphasise precision and intensity. The programme highlights both legacy material and newer, uncompromising tracks that showcase the genre’s raw power.

Electron Festival – Detroit Legends: Cybotron & Dopplereffekt

Performances

Alhambra

Presented by Electron Festival, Detroit Legends gathers pioneers Cybotron and Dopplereffekt for a dialogue between two foundational visions of techno. Their early experiments fused futurism, electronic machinery and African-American musical culture, shaping a sound that still echoes across generations. The evening opens with Geneva’s Orphia, whose analog textures, metronomic rhythms and luminous atmospheres form a bridge between origins and contemporary electronic practice. Three live sets, multiple generations, a concentrated portrait of the lineage and emotional force of Detroit electronic music.

María del Mar Suárez – La Chachi / Los inescalables Alpes, buscando a Currito

Performances

Choreographed and performed by Andalusian artist María del Mar Suárez, known as La Chachi, this hybrid flamenco piece blends reverence and deconstruction of tradition with a punk expressivity. Two musicians and a singer form a driving, looping soundscape that slowly reveals La Chachi’s silhouette as she advances, her movements coiling and breaking like the music’s escalating cycles. Visceral and hypnotic, the work explores the effort to overcome the seemingly insurmountable, building tense intimacy and ritualized ascent.

Godinat – Jacquemet – Massy

Performances

ACI Lissignol

Three improvisers and composers — Maël Godinat (piano), William Jacquemet (trombone) and Pierre‑François Massy (double bass) — present a program of original material and carefully chosen covers. Arrangements emphasize close harmonies, intimate interplay and attentive listening, letting sparse textures open into rich, resonant chords. The trio’s sound balances lyrical phrasing with rhythmic subtlety; lighting and silence shape moments of suspended time, inviting a contemplative, warm atmosphere that reimagines harmonic conversation in the moment.

La Table d’Amour

Performances

Théâtre Saint-Gervais

An introspective monologue for multiple voices, La Table d’Amour is a poetic theatrical immersion inspired by a Tinos island tradition. Performed by Manon Krüttli and Jeanne De Mont, the piece follows Manon Krüttli’s journey between autobiography, fiction and dreamlike reverie. It probes questions of living together, reconciliation and the role of conviviality as an artistic gesture, creating an intimate, sensory staging that favors lyricism and shared presence.
