Light and Darkness — Liederkranz-Concordia Choir

Conductor Stanislava Nankova leads the Liederkranz-Concordia Choir with an ad hoc symphony orchestra, featuring soloists Fanny Utiger (soprano), Oscar Esmerode (tenor) and Sacha Michon (baritone). The programme juxtaposes operatic arias by Puccini, Boito and Mascagni with sacred and Classical choral pages by Mozart, tracing a path between darkness and light. The music alternates visceral verismo intensity and luminous choral spirituality, creating a dramatic, emotionally charged sound world that pivots between suffering and hope.

Le Truc sur le feu is a playful, offbeat fable that examines how the domestication of fire shaped human life. Written by Romane Nicolas, the piece stages two Paleolithic clans who wonder, clash and ignite as puppets by the Kokoschka tradition bring grotesque situations to life. With incisive humour and sharp theatricality, the show confronts ideas of progress, individuality versus community, animality and civilisation, offering a vividly staged reflection on the choices that set societies alight.

Myriam Baroukh dismantles the checklist of modern life — exams, steady jobs, marriage, children, mortgages — to ask what remains once the boxes are ticked. With sharp, intimate stand-up, she navigates happiness, antidepressants, a difficult birth, artificial intelligence, urban wildlife and the strain of care and exile. Her voice mixes wry observation and emotional honesty, turning personal setbacks into wry, human comedy. Her rapid-fire anecdotes and unexpected images keep the audience off-balance, exploring empathy and absurdity.

Composed and performed by Vittorio Montalti, Blue Electricity investigates technological surveillance and the erosion of freedom through tense, immersive sound. Metallic percussion, transformed everyday objects and electronic textures blur acoustic and processed timbres, while reactive lighting shapes the performance’s spatial sculpting. The ensemble — Eklekto, Romane Bouffioux, Louis Delignon, Corentin Marillier and Fabien Perreau — executes The Smell of Blue Electricity (2021), a quartet-percussion and live electronics piece that folds theatrical tension into a collective sonic experience.

15 September – 4 October

Chronicle of a fleeting liaison, this intimate theatrical piece examines the fragile architecture of desire and memory.

Lighting and sparse staging heighten moments of intimacy, while an attentive ensemble navigates tonal shifts from tenderness to unease. The production favors close observation and emotional clarity, inviting reflection on attachment and the traces left behind.
