A Halloween night of short-stage performances, this festive and mysterious showcase brings hidden talents to centre stage. Local singers, spoken-word artists and experimental acts share a program of eclectic, intimate pieces that play with mood and atmosphere. Lou Mey, Inkuba 2025–26 artist, appears to introduce her musical universe. The evening privileges risk-taking, playful presentation and close audience connection, weaving theatrical touches and sonic textures into a varied, convivial performance line-up.
Oscar M. Damianaki’s Sacré Saoulé gathers a collective of performers to examine mourning, anger and exhaustion through a charged, intimate choreography. The piece moves between bitterness and tenderness, exploring a grief born of ongoing oppression that resists closure. Performers Tejus Menon and Davia Spain cocreate a physical language informed by discreet eroticism. Lighting by Tiki and costumes by Arsen Aeby shape a tense, tactile atmosphere. Co-produced by Emergentia.
Double Jeu is a sharp, playful improvisation show built around strategy, split-second choices and mutual misdirection. Each performer receives a secret mission and must weave it discreetly into the action, turning every scene into a live game of influence, bluff and comic escalation. The result is fast, unpredictable theatre where the ensemble’s timing, listening and inventiveness keep the audience guessing until the very last exchange.
