Blue Electricity

Booking Required

Composed and performed by Vittorio Montalti, Blue Electricity investigates technological surveillance and the erosion of freedom through tense, immersive sound. Metallic percussion, transformed everyday objects and electronic textures blur acoustic and processed timbres, while reactive lighting shapes the performance’s spatial sculpting. The ensemble — Eklekto, Romane Bouffioux, Louis Delignon, Corentin Marillier and Fabien Perreau — executes The Smell of Blue Electricity (2021), a quartet-percussion and live electronics piece that folds theatrical tension into a collective sonic experience.

Peter Evans Extra brings together three of contemporary music’s most daring improvisers in a high‑velocity sonic pursuit that redefines the jazz trio. The band fuses Evans’s sculptural trumpet vocabulary with Petter Eldh’s hyperactive bass and Jim Black’s unpredictable rhythmic bursts, producing a kinetic, ever‑shifting soundscape where silence and noise collide. Their 2024 debut, EXTRA (We Jazz Records), was praised as one of the year’s best jazz records for its technical daring and anarchic spirit.

24 September – 4 October

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.
