What Aleph Said

Free, Booking Required

What Aleph Said, a Lausanne-based instrumental rock band, blends post-rock, progressive rock and post-metal into expansive, emotionally charged compositions. Their cinematic arrangements build from delicate textures to powerful climaxes, driven by layered guitars and nuanced dynamics. Having shared stages with influences such as God Is An Astronaut, Oh Hiroshima, Toundra, Leech and Villagers of Ioannina City, the group prepares to release its third studio album, Nowness, continuing the trajectory of Aeonia (2021) and Aulasy (2024).

Mobula — Au-Delà Du Bleu

Performances

Château Rouge – Annemasse

FURTHER AFIELD

Mobula is an ode to the movement of water, a dance piece that reflects humanity’s relationship with the ocean. Directed by Jean‑Camille Goimard and performed by Pierre Theoleyre, Denis Terrasse and Anna Martin‑François, the choreography channels aquatic energy: floating beneath the surface, being tossed by waves, confronting the storm. Images are projected across a sail-like structure while Anne Martin appears as a dancer in the film, and narratives from people who live with the sea punctuate the work.

La Migration des cœurs

Performances

Le Poche

Adapted freely from Maryse Condé and Emily Brontë, this theatrical adaptation follows Razyé and Cathy across three generations in a post-emancipation Guadeloupe. Directed by Anne Monfort, the production probes themes of racism, passion, pride, social violence, vengeance and fatalism through a visceral, rhythmic staging. The ensemble uses sparse, evocative design and intense physical interplay to reveal how inherited trauma shapes desire and retribution.

Brasser de l’air et s’envoler

Performances

Salle Communale d'Onex

Xavier Guelfi presents an intimate solo performance in which he embodies a clumsy, naive coach of happiness. Raised near Onex and known for film and stage roles, Guelfi greets the audience from a kitchen transformed into a timeless cocoon. With poetic physicality and Arlequin-like charm, he mixes gentle humour and existential reflection, inviting the public to dream and to reclaim faith in humanity. A suspended, comforting utopia that soothes and amuses.

Cendrillon

Performances

Théâtre de la Madeleine

Directed by Rebecca Stella and adapted with Danielle Barthélemy, Cendrillon blends classic fairy-tale drama with manga-inspired staging. Pili Loop’s original score, Mathieu Courtaillier’s lighting and the set by Camille Ansquer shape a vivid, contemporary universe. Costumes by Alice Toutev and Sonia Bosc and choreography by Léon add playful movement and character. Anthony Surleraux’s video projections and graphics expand the tale’s visual world, pairing tradition with modern theatrical textures.

In French.
