Electron Festival – Detroit Legends: Cybotron & Dopplereffekt

Booking Required

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.

Choreographed by Thomas Hauert and performed by three dancers from ZOO and three from Platform K, Where Is Everybody? explores a shared, non-hierarchical stage language rooted in improvisation and mutual gaze.

Directed by Françoise Courvoisier, this production of Anton Chekhov’s Oncle Vania — translated by Arthur Adamov — assembles a committed ensemble (Vincent Bonillo, Pierre Dubey, Bérangère Mastrangelo, Patricia Mollet-Mercier, Clarisse Morizot, Pierre Omer, Juliana Samarine, Edmond Vuilloud) to explore love, the passage of time and illusions lost. The staging, created with scenographer Gilbert Maire and painter André Kasper, uses Rinaldo Del Boca’s lighting, Pierre Omer’s music and Nicolas Le Roy’s sound to evoke both the comedy and the terrifying humanity of Chekhov.

Led by conductor Matthieu Schweyer, Orchestre Concertus presents Mozart’s Requiem with soloists Alida Barbasini (soprano), Mi‑Young Kim (mezzo‑soprano), Daniel Duri (tenor) and Seong‑Ho Han (bass). The performance balances intimate choral passages and thunderous orchestral climaxes, exploring grief, transcendence and ritual. Sparse orchestration and dramatic vocal lines are shaped with attention to dynamic contrast and vocal colour, creating a moving, cinematic soundworld that alternates between hushed prayer and overwhelming intensity.

22 September – 29 November

Two short plays by Anton Chekhov staged by Tibor Ockenfels and Flavie Tapparel, presented as compact dramatic machines where romantic comedy masks escalating confrontations between desire, affection and material interest. Performances rely on precise physical timing, terse exchanges and a lean, playful design to reveal the simmering violence behind courtship rituals. The three actors — Estelle Bridet, Matteo Prandi and Raphaël Vachoux — inhabit heightened character types that shift between farce and darker comic truth, creating a sharply observed, kinetic evening.

Danielle Milovic’s lighting and the French translation by Dominique Hollier and Séverine Magois shape a stark, intimate staging. Produced by Les Amis – Le Chariot for Scène Vagabonde Festival.
