Jam Session with Blues Rooster

Led by opening act Blues Rooster, this jam session invites local musicians and listeners into a night of blues-inflected improvisation and collective play. The format is loose and conversational, shifting between driving grooves, soulful solos and call-and-response exchanges. With a focus on listening and spontaneous interaction, the evening fosters conviviality and musical risk-taking, offering intimate, high-energy moments where leaders emerge, then dissolve into ensemble textures. Everyone is encouraged to bring their instrument and join the conversation.

29 September – 18 October

Directed by Céline Goormaghtigh and written by Anne Berest, LA VISITE probes maternal instinct with sharp humour and urgent intensity. In a compact domestic setting, a young mother at the limits of endurance confronts visitors while her defenses dissolve; a trio of actresses whirl and collide, delivering a caustic torrent of language and revealing movement. The work explores ‘matraissance’—the birth of motherhood—balancing lucidity, rage and tenderness to unsettle familiar myths about maternal bliss.

In French.
