Solstice d’été

Directed by Sarah Calcine, this research-residency performance investigates the effects of climate urgency on bodies and dreams. Borrowing tools from social sciences, Calcine’s team conducts a collective artistic inquiry, gathering testimonies and nocturnal images to compose a geographico-theatrical performance. Inspired by Agnès Varda’s glaneur spirit, participants observe, drift, analyze and embody intertwined narratives. Produced in collaboration with Comédie de Caen, the project weaves local testimony and global context into an immersive, dream-driven stage experience.

Centred on Sami Bernath’s embodied memories, this performance mixes Swiss popular songs, rhythmic gestures and the traditional Löffelä spoon percussion to transform everyday motions into sound. Through repetition, deformation and rhythmic saturation, familiar motifs become permeable, revealing buried and repressed memories beneath the Swiss mountains. The staging is intimate and ritualistic, alternating fragile vocal fragments and percussive textures to probe memory and collective inheritance.
