Exploring Avelune — Mosaic Season

The Conservatoire populaire and the Avelune Ensemble present a collaboration exploring the contemporary harp and its electronic extensions. Featuring harpists Emma Thomazeau, Hanna Borka, Céline Gay des Combes and Blandine Pigaglio, with electroacoustic work by Baptiste Baudimand and computer-assisted music by Benjamin Gueit, the programme mixes contemporary repertoire, improvisation and electronic textures. The harp is reinvented between acoustic resonance and processed sound, creating a hypnotic, immersive sonic world that blurs timbre and spatial perception.

Don’t Kill The Cow brings its alternative rock universe to the stage with four musicians whose shared energy moves between punchy drive and fragile tenderness.

Their set promises raw emotion, immediate connection, and a feverish intensity that feels both human and electric.

Presented within the Emerentia festival, this evening gathers three original short dance pieces by Shereya, Joce and Uma. Inspired by literary short stories, the program uses compact narrative forms to probe storytelling through movement, confronting the codes and bodies of institutional contemporary dance.

The work favours concentrated dramaturgy and physical immediacy.
