Morphong channels the kinetic energy of jazz through electronic exploration in a set of original compositions and open improvisation. The trio — pianist and modular synth artist Michel Wintsch, double bassist Cédric Gysler and drummer Samuel Jakubec — shape immersive soundscapes that shift between lyrical expansions and feral outbursts. Their interplay privileges texture, dynamic contrast and spontaneous conversation, offering a listening experience that is both contemplative and visceral.
Music and songs by Stephen Sondheim with a libretto by George Furth and a French translation by Stéphane Laporte. This intimate, razor-sharp musical follows Robert (Bobby), a charming New Yorker confronting bachelorhood, friendship and the compromises of coupledom. The production blends incisive lyrics, lively choreography and a close ensemble cast to reveal joyful neuroses, hidden desires and fragile bonds. The staging alternates warmth and irony, inviting reflection on love, loneliness and the elusive art of staying together.

Led by Florence Melnotte (piano, synth, koassilator, vocals), with Louis Billette (saxophones, flugelhorn, vocals) and Sylvain Fournier (drums, vocals), Les Ancêtres du Futur conjure an aesthetic shock that blends anachronism and urgent invention. Their sound moves between wistful, kitsch melodicism and wild, improvised eruptions, where sculpted motifs collide with raw improvisation. Lighting and dynamics create a shimmering, tense atmosphere, transporting listeners through uncanny forms that feel both nostalgic and startlingly new.
Christophe Godin and his team invite participants to take the stage, unleash roaring riffs, and trade blazing solos in an evening of raw live energy. Whether playing or watching, expect an electric, generous and unpredictable performance where musical passion is embraced wholeheartedly and with kindness. The repertoire offered encourages spontaneous collaboration, playful improvisation and an intense shared experience among musicians and audience.
The Slackers bring a seasoned, soulful take on ska and reggae, blending elements of rocksteady and soul with tightly wrought grooves and horn-driven arrangements. Formed in New York in 1991, the band is known for its energetic live presence and extensive discography — sixteen studio albums, five EPs and numerous singles. Recent releases include the 2025 EP “Money Is King” and the tribute single “My Last Star”. Their set combines vintage rhythms with contemporary songwriting, rich vocal harmonies and a warm, danceable pulse.
For his final production as a theatre director, Jean Liermier revisits Tennessee Williams’s autobiographical classic about memory, longing and family. Set in the 1930s American South, the staging gathers a company around Laura, here embodied by Aurélia Thierrée, with Cyprien Colombo, David Gobet and Clotilde Mollet completing the ensemble. Liermier’s direction emphasises fragile interiors and poetic movement, offering a liberating, weightless atmosphere that balances tenderness and uneasy nostalgia.

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.
