Ce qui nous traverse, choreographed by Nawal Aït Benalla and co-directed with Abou Lagraa, is a visceral dance piece by Compagnie La Baraka that probes the body in an age of technology. Dancers Elie Fico, Alba Fracchia, Marion Frappat, Alfredo Gottardi and Rachele Pinzan navigate rhythmic patterns, tensions between constraint and freedom, isolation and encounter, and the shifting boundaries of embodiment. Olivier Innocenti’s compositions and Laïs Foulc’s lighting frame a powerful, poetic investigation of collective and intimate corporeality.

Directed by Jérémy Guérard, La femme parfaite traces a daughter’s confrontation with her dying mother and the inherited patterns that bind three generations of women. Through intimate staging, moments of therapy and delicate origami sequences, the production untangles memory, family conditioning and desires for emancipation. The piece weaves ghosts of the past into a portrait of love and liberation, pairing rigorous dramaturgy with emotional clarity. The performance is followed by a discussion with the audience.

Zamakan is a trio led by Egyptian saz master Abdallah Abozekry, guitarist Baptiste Ferrandis and Indo‑Helvetic violinist Baiju Bhatt. Their oriental jazz blends original compositions with improvisation, weaving vigorous rhythms and drifting poetic reveries. The music foregrounds multicultural identities and adventurous interplay: Abozekry’s hypnotic saz, Ferrandis’s inventive guitar and Bhatt’s virtuosic violin create layered textures that move from intimate stillness to incandescent intensity. Their new album Dans le ventre de la nuit frames the project as an assertion of bold, global creativity.

22 September – 29 November

Two short plays by Anton Chekhov staged by Tibor Ockenfels and Flavie Tapparel, presented as compact dramatic machines where romantic comedy masks escalating confrontations between desire, affection and material interest. Performances rely on precise physical timing, terse exchanges and a lean, playful design to reveal the simmering violence behind courtship rituals. The three actors — Estelle Bridet, Matteo Prandi and Raphaël Vachoux — inhabit heightened character types that shift between farce and darker comic truth, creating a sharply observed, kinetic evening.

The Icelandic quartet ADHD presents their tenth album, ADHD 10, continuing an exploration between jazz, ambient, rock and folk. Simon Frith describes it as “a desolate quietude… Nordic, neither urban jazz nor rural folk.” Their immersive, sensory sound transcends genres, offering an intense concert blending new material with signature pieces. The group—Óskar Guðjónsson (saxophones), Ómar Guðjónsson (guitar, pedal steel, bass), Tómas Jónsson (piano, keyboards) and Magnús Trygvason Eliassen (drums)—creates spacious, contemplative textures that evolve into powerful, lyrical climaxes.
