TANGO² – Alma Brasileira & Luce Tango

Booking Required

Presented as a luminous tango concert, TANGO² traces a musical journey from Ernesto Nazareth to Astor Piazzolla, blending Argentine bandoneón-driven intensity with Brazilian rhythmic warmth. An ensemble of about thirty musicians weaves orchestral textures, intimate solos and rhythmic drive, while subtle dynamics and close interplay evoke smoky dance halls and sunlit plazas. The programme balances tradition and contemporary arrangement, offering a sensual, rhythmic evening that celebrates cross-cultural dialogue.

D’amour et d’eau fraîche

Performances

Théâtre du Loup

Directed by Rémi Dufay, D’amour et d’eau fraîche is a stage adventure that celebrates movement, friendship and the unforeseen. Rémi Dufay and his ensemble probe margins and fragile frames, staging situations that slip away in a deliberately unsteady ceremony. The production blurs reality and magic, carrying the audience through a joyful, rocambolic wandering. A lively, generous performance that refuses stillness and favours continual transformation.

Six heures plus tard

Performances

Théâtre Saint-Gervais

Written by Stéphane Bouquet, Six heures plus tard is an intimate stage performance for two performers that explores the fragile bonds between a man and a woman through poetic text, live-filmed images, spare lighting and pared-down stage presence. The piece treats silence as a shared, collective resource and recomposes itself according to each venue’s architecture and the state of the bodies, creating an unusual proximity and contemplative atmosphere.

Oncle Vania

Performances

Théâtre des Amis

Directed by Françoise Courvoisier, this production of Anton Chekhov’s Oncle Vania — translated by Arthur Adamov — assembles a committed ensemble (Vincent Bonillo, Pierre Dubey, Bérangère Mastrangelo, Patricia Mollet-Mercier, Clarisse Morizot, Pierre Omer, Juliana Samarine, Edmond Vuilloud) to explore love, the passage of time and illusions lost. The staging, created with scenographer Gilbert Maire and painter André Kasper, uses Rinaldo Del Boca’s lighting, Pierre Omer’s music and Nicolas Le Roy’s sound to evoke both the comedy and the terrifying humanity of Chekhov.

Roma: Shadows and Lights of Italian Baroque

Performances

La Cité Bleue

Under the direction of Leonardo García‑Alarcón, Roma is a large-scale oratorio that revisits the foundational gesture of García‑Alarcón and Cappella Mediterranea. The programme journeys through Roman polyphony, alternating masterpieces and rarities by Luigi Rossi, Alessandro Scarlatti, Gregorio Allegri and Giovanni Giorgi. The Constellation sound design transforms the performance space to unfold Allegri’s Miserere in intense chiaroscuro. Solo voices and the Namur Chamber Choir converse with Cappella Mediterranea, creating a luminous, immersive baroque experience.
