Moncef Genoud offers a solo piano programme that focuses on the sensitivity of touch and the expressive range of jazz piano. His refined phrasing and subtle dynamics carve intimate soundscapes where improvisation meets quiet lyricism. Sparse harmonies and shifting tempos open spaces of reflection, alternating moments of warmth, tension and release. The listening experience is tactile and immersive: each phrase emerges from a precise touch that shapes mood and memory.
Performed by François Mardirossian, this eight‑hour nocturnal recital explores the minimalism tradition through repetitions and subtle variation. The programme moves between works by Philip Glass, Moondog, Erik Satie, Aphex Twin, Brian Eno, John Cage and other composers, creating an immersive, meditative and physical soundscape that invites listeners to drift in and out. A prelude DJ set by Camille Rhonat opens the evening, framing the transition from ambient textures to focused piano minimalism.

Choreographer and performer Marco D’Agostin fuses scientific lecture, musical comedy and intimate confession in Astéroïde. Posing as a paleontologist, he handles ancient bones while tracing the extinction of dinosaurs, but the scholarly frame cracks as memory, desire and song spill out. A solo that shifts between popular science, theatre and Broadway‑style numbers, it explores loss and survival with wit, physical precision and theatrical exuberance. Produced with Piccolo Teatro di Milano.

Ensemble Temenos presents a program drawn from Arcangelo Corelli’s first four Opuses of Sonate a tre, tracing the emergence of the trio sonata and its two principal genres, da chiesa and da camera. The programme contrasts solemn, contrapuntal church movements with lively dance forms—allemande, courante, gigue—showing how harmonic clarity and expressive rhetoric shaped Baroque chamber music. Performed with period sensitivity, the ensemble favours architectural resonance and rhythmic drive, offering an intimate, luminous sound world.
Anitya — L’Impermanence is a participatory solo circus performance by acrobat Inbal Ben Haim. Set among a web of taut, intertwined ropes, the piece explores impermanence, letting go and collective reconstruction. Ben Haim’s mastery of the corde lisse produces striking visual tableaux, blending physical virtuosity with intimate audience interaction as spectators are invited to untangle and lift the performer. The work is atmospheric and sculptural, balancing tension, release and quiet resilience.
Singer-songwriter Zora offers an intimate acoustic set that unfolds like a suspended reverie. Her warm voice and pared-down guitar trace delicate melodies, exploring longing and quiet joy through spare, lyrical songs. The performance favors close listening, with subtle dynamics and moments of hush that invite reflection. Sparse arrangements and natural resonance create a fragile, luminous atmosphere, transporting listeners into a contemplative evening of honest storytelling and soft, emotive soundscapes.
