An adaptation of Jusque dans nos bras, this theatrical staging follows Alice—half Kabyle, half Norman—and Mad, her childhood friend returned from Mali, as they confront hostile immigration procedures and social exclusion. The play blends narrative, direct address and collective performance: voices multiply, perspectives intersect and an ensemble becomes a space of solidarity, joy and resistance. Intimate choices become political acts, exploring identity, belonging and youthful refusal to resign.

Choreographed by Catol Teixeira, Baby Teeth is a ten-dancer work that inhabits the mouth as a site of taste, biting and contagion. The piece weaves song, movement and tactile materials into a polyphonic choreography where pleasure and pain coexist. Collaborating with visual artists, poets and lighting designers, the ensemble explores memory, transmission and the birth of language through shifting textures and intimate gestures. The multinational creative team brings a collective, ritual quality to a sensory, transformative journey.

FURTHER AFIELD

As part of its much-loved Sunday Concert series, the International Menuhin Music Academy, in collaboration with the International Piano Academy Lake Como, invites you to an afternoon of chamber music featuring young soloists from the Menuhin Academy alongside pianist Andrea Molteni.

The programme brings together two masterpieces of the chamber music repertoire: Sergei Prokofiev’s String Quartet No. 1 and Johannes Brahms’s Piano Quintet.

This musical encounter celebrates the shared values of artistic excellence, exchange, and the passing on of musical knowledge that lie at the heart of both academies.

German baritone Benjamin Appl presents a programme themed around water and travel with cellist Lionel Cottet and pianist Jorge Viladoms. In three parts he traces a traveller’s trajectory—departure, nocturnal crossing and the solitude that leads to calm—through songs from the German, French and South American repertoire. The recital features works by Schumann, Brahms, Strauss, Mendelssohn, Schubert, Fauré and Villa-Lobos, emphasising narrative singing and chamber intimacy.

From Germany, Sinnthese brings a mischievous, restless strain of synth-pop, threading exploratory new wave through sound collages and absurdist-realist text fragments. The solo live set draws on a Korg MS-20 and a mix of songs and lyrics. Japanese sound performer Fairymarichel shapes an improvised electronic world with modular textures, moving between noise, avant-garde experimentation and fractured tanz-techno. Le Horla and Sofy Maladie complete the bill with a specially devised record set, extending the evening’s adventurous, shifting sonic palette.
