Cuban Rhythms and Landscapes — Mosaic Season

Featuring guitar teachers and students from the Conservatoire populaire and dancers from the pre‑professional contemporary class of Emilio Artessero Quesada, this program stages a dialogue between dance and guitar rooted in Cuban repertoire. Works by Leo Brouwer — including the complete 20 Études simples and Paisajes cubanos — weave minimalism, serial techniques and Cuban folklore into a dense rhythmic tapestry. The performance balances precise instrumental textures and kinetic, communal choreography, offering vivid sonic colours and pulsing movement.

3 – 7 November

Created and performed by Elina Kulikova and Dima Efremov, TRILOGIE DE LA GUERRE interweaves three musical-performance pieces responding to exile, the war in Ukraine and repression in Russia. Kulikova’s chapters evoke classical and folk song, transforming lament into a ritualised, sensory mourning; Efremov’s contribution uses sound art and electro textures to shift perspective and map clandestine networks of resistance. Together the trilogy forms a compact dramaturgy of intimacy, unease and fragile hope, immersive and politically charged.

5 November – 6 May

This improvisational cabaret gathers a rotating ensemble who transform prompts into exuberant, instant theatrics. Performers spin spontaneous stories, invent vivid characters and push collective comedy toward grand, over-the-top moments. The staging favors quick costume shifts, dynamic lighting and a live-paced soundscape that heightens each surprise. Featuring Nadim Ahmed, Blaise Bersinger, Nina Cachelin, Odile Cantero, Deborah Chirenti, Thomas Demaurex, Alain Ghiringhelli, Julien Henchoz, Malik Kaufmann, Pauline Maitre, Adrien Laplana, Eric Lecoultre and Quentin Lo Russo, the show celebrates the art of improvisation and shared laughter.

29 October – 8 November

Text by Erri De Luca. Directed by Barbara Baker and F‑X Fernandez‑Cavada, Impossible unfolds after a man falls from a steep trail in the Dolomites. Blending investigation, memory and love letters, the staging probes guilt, betrayal and political history as two former members of the same terrorist group confront a shared past. The production balances documentary clarity and poetic fragments, offering a tense, intimate reflection on vengeance and the echoes of the 20th century into the present.

In French.

28 October – 8 November

Directed by Eléonore Bonah and staged by scenographer Maria Clara Castioni, CHRÜSIMÜSI transforms Adelheid Duvanel’s terse, poetic fragments into a multilingual theatrical tapestry. Performers Eléonore Bonah and Maria Clara Castioni inhabit hypersensitive, marginal characters whose everyday gestures oscillate between absurdity and tenderness. Sparse staging and a careful interplay of voice and silence highlight Duvanel’s Kafkaesque intimacy, while language shifts (French, German, Italian) create a fragile, dreamlike atmosphere that balances humour and quiet despair, celebrating stubborn acts of resistance.

Drawing on the poetry of Alda Merini, this new creation by Cie Linga brings seven performers and dedicated collaborators together in a politically charged, poetic ensemble. The piece explores collective choreography as a living, shifting organism: bodies merge, diverge and form ever-changing configurations that reveal individual singularities within a shared consciousness. Through intimate physical connections and circulating emotions, the company imagines diversity as a source of collective richness and a hopeful vision of communal joy.

Thursday 5 November, 20:00

Mentir lo Mínimo by Cie Alta Gama follows the journey of three bodies — a woman, a man and a bicycle — stripped down to the essentials: the body itself. Performers Amanda and Alejo create daring partnering, acrobatics and bicycle voltiges to explore self-relationship, identity and intimacy. Blending circus, theatre and live music within a minimalist aesthetic, the piece treats physicality with subtlety and celebration, offering a poetic, tactile reflection on presence.
