Over the course of a one-hour solo performance, Ana Godefroy confronts questions of visibility and presence. Through intimate monologue, subtle shifts of tone and close audience interaction, the piece probes identity, the female gaze and the tension between being seen and remaining private. The staging favours confinement and immediacy, inviting reflection on twenty-seven years of self-questioning and the delicate politics of attention.

From Bogotá, Ghetto Kumbé are a trio of singer‑shamans and virtuoso percussionists who fuse electro‑Caribbean beats, techno, house and Afro‑Colombian and West African rhythms into a ritual of dance and trance. Their mesmerising grooves shift between chant and propulsive percussion, creating a physical, communal atmosphere that channels collective vibration and festive resistance. Live, the trio prioritises deep rhythmic immersion and political urgency, inviting bodies into a cathartic, transformative sound experience.
An original, sensory midweek concert that blends live improvisation with a tasting concept. Performers respond in the moment, shaping spontaneous musical textures that intertwine acoustic and electronic timbres.

Two unexpected deities arrive by bicycle, guided by a capricious GPS, carrying a very serious object: the Wheel of Fortune. They need the audience—especially children—to spin the wheel and together invent a story about a child to whom nothing seems to go right. Misfortunes pile up, luck sticks to the sneakers and solutions must be imagined. A participatory musical tale where chance and imagination shape a different story each time.
