Kto Tam? (Who Is There?)

Booking Required

Created and performed by Igor Mamlenkov and directed by Kostya Novitskiy, Kto Tam? is a 60-minute non-verbal visual tragicomedy that explores exile, memory, loneliness and resilience. Through precise movement, object manipulation and evocative shadow play, Mamlenkov animates forgotten belongings into companions, transforming absence into tender, absurd and deeply human encounters. Drawing on Slavic physical theatre traditions, the piece uses gesture and poetic imagery to build a universal, wordless journey into the heart of solitude.

Led by guitarist Christophe Godin, this high-energy rock evening blends blistering riffs, searing solos and communal jamming. Godin and his team create an open-stage atmosphere where seasoned players and eager guests trade fiery phrases over a punchy rhythm section. Sparse staging, bold lighting and raw sound design foreground the music’s physicality, shifting from tight grooves to explosive climaxes. The experience is generous and unpredictable, driven by virtuosity, improvisation and shared joy.

8 – 9 September

Choreographed by Christos Papadopoulos, My Fierce Ignorant Step gathers ten bodies whose mounting breath becomes the show’s engine. The piece translates performers’ respiration into kinetic waves and layered soundscapes, dialoguing with the contemporary music of Mikis Theodorakis. Drawing on the choral pulse of ancient tragedy, the work collapses collective Hellenic memory into intimate reveries — the impulse of beginnings, the buoyancy of first encounters and the spontaneous spark of early laughter. The staging is physical, precise and visceral.

Shyle Zalewski invites audiences into a two-part evening combining zine culture and an intimate concert.

Later, under the alter ego edam edam, Zalewski offers a live set that blends fragile melodies and lo-fi textures, shifting the room from quiet reflection to charged immediacy. The night foregrounds intimacy, creative exchange, and the blurred line between reading and song.
