Concert du duo Vocal Cheese

On Tuesday, November 10, the duo Vocal Cheese will be delighted to share their traditional annual reunion concert. For 15 years, Vicky and Meret have been singing songs from the Alps and the shores of Greece, Italy, Occitania and Bulgaria, occasionally venturing into Latin America or adding an original composition of their own.

The joy of savouring these songs, gathered along the way through encounters and shared experiences, shines through in arrangements that pay tribute to these traditions while reflecting the performers’ own hybrid, itinerant lives. Expect rooted folk music with a subversive edge when needed — and it is needed — delivered with humour and tenderness.

Meret Mohr Millner — vocals, guitar; Vicky Papailiou — vocals, accordion

Created and performed by Sandra Widmer Joly, this theatrical piece confronts finitude with a blend of poetry, tenderness and dark humour. Drawing on the author’s fifteen years as a funeral celebrant, the work weaves personal testimony, quiet rituals and moments of levity. Dramaturg Antoine Jaccoud provided textual guidance following a writing workshop, and members of the Célébrys network bring lived professional experience to the stage. The overall tone is intimate, reflective and surprisingly warm.

In French.

28 October – 8 November

Directed by Eléonore Bonah and staged by scenographer Maria Clara Castioni, CHRÜSIMÜSI transforms Adelheid Duvanel’s terse, poetic fragments into a multilingual theatrical tapestry. Performers Eléonore Bonah and Maria Clara Castioni inhabit hypersensitive, marginal characters whose everyday gestures oscillate between absurdity and tenderness. Sparse staging and a careful interplay of voice and silence highlight Duvanel’s Kafkaesque intimacy, while language shifts (French, German, Italian) create a fragile, dreamlike atmosphere that balances humour and quiet despair, celebrating stubborn acts of resistance.

Part of Recluses Fest #10, this evening brings a rare tribute to Parabellum alongside performances by Ring of Cash and Vikie. Former members of Parabellum reunite with guests and local scene stalwarts to revisit cult anthems with raw intensity and communal fervour. Ring of Cash blends power-folk-rock energy with Juliette Canouet’s captivating voice, supported by Mika Garcia, Jean-Philippe Soler and Xa Mesa. Vikie opens with a punk-tinged, politically charged chanson, creating an exhilarating, sweat-soaked atmosphere.

Invited by the OSR, Krzysztof Urbański conducts the Berner Symphonieorchester with Swiss pianist Francesco Piemontesi in a programme devoted to Johannes Brahms. The evening contrasts the Piano Concerto No. 1—born in mourning, marked by solemn intensity—with the radiant serenity of Symphony No. 2. The interpretation privileges orchestral warmth, layered textures and clear dynamic shaping, transporting listeners into an intimate, emotionally charged sound world where lyricism and dramatic surges alternate with measured poise.

8 October – 14 November

Told as a solo performance, this piece follows a woman as she remembers the films that shaped her life and blurs the line between cinema and memory. Through references to science-fiction sagas and cinematic archetypes — the woman-soldier, the survivor, the reluctant mother — the show probes identity, fear of change and the ways stories migrate from screen to skin. Sparse staging and intimate narration create a haunting, introspective atmosphere.

In French.

28 October – 7 November
