Najat Aâtabou brings the raw intensity of Moroccan chaâbi to the stage, her commanding voice carrying stories of love, resilience and longing. With resonant phrasing and vibrant rhythmic drive, she shapes an intimate yet powerful musical space that blurs tradition and contemporary expression. The performance privileges vocal immediacy and emotional depth, inviting listeners into a warm, ritual pulse where melody and cadence intertwine to illuminate personal and collective memory.
Scène Vagabonde’s seventh edition brings a compact program of contemporary theatre and music, presenting three contrasting stage works — “Par le bout du nez”, “Quadrille” and “Prima facie” — alongside a concert by Orchestre Tout Puissant Marcel Duchamp as part of La Bâtie-Festival de Genève. Across intimate stagings the festival favors inventive direction, close ensemble interplay and a balance of wit and intensity, offering encounters that privilege physical presence, tonal variety and rigorous dramaturgy.
Celebrating Chopin’s lyricism, passion and refinement, this festival presents a sequence of solo recitals, chamber concerts and a dedicated masterclass. Performers include pianists Paweł Wakarecy, Mertol Demirelli, Adam Kałduński, Krzysztof Wierciński and Mateusz Krzyżowski, alongside cellist Marcin Zdunik and the Quintette Éphémère. The programming favours intimate pacing and refined rubato, with attention to phrasing and tonal colour. Expect moments of poetic introspection and virtuosic brilliance, where clear, luminous sound and careful dynamics shape a contemplative, emotionally direct experience.
Created and performed by DeLaurentis, Pionnières! rewrites the history of electronic music through the voices of women who shaped it. Drawing on influences from Éliane Radigue to Suzanne Ciani, Delia Derbyshire and Björk, the solo performer blends live machines — notably a rare ARP 2500 — with archival material and striking visuals developed with Sony CSL. Originally created for the 50th anniversary of Printemps de Bourges and presented in collaboration with Electron Festival × Les Créatives, the work offers an immersive, reflective exploration of memory and legacy.
Le Truc sur le feu is a playful, offbeat fable that examines how the domestication of fire shaped human life. Written by Romane Nicolas, the piece stages two Paleolithic clans who wonder, clash and ignite as puppets by the Kokoschka tradition bring grotesque situations to life. With incisive humour and sharp theatricality, the show confronts ideas of progress, individuality versus community, animality and civilisation, offering a vividly staged reflection on the choices that set societies alight.
