Bertrand Belin sculpts a deliberately wandering pop poised between rock and chanson, threaded with jazz and blues. On his latest album Watt he explores existential themes through poetic, mysterious and luminous writing. His crooner-like delivery and elegant harmonic language combine introspection with expansive, almost stellar arrangements, guiding the listener from intimate passages to wide sonic horizons. The concert offers an elegant, reflective musical voyage.

Choreographer Anne Nguyen, rooted in breakdance battles and informed by scientific studies, rebuilds hip‑hop vocabulary with a mathematical sensuality. Promenade Obligatoire stages an uninterrupted, ordered march across the performance space that becomes a meditation on life’s meaning and the passage of time. Popping—blocks, isolations and body dissociations—sharpens contrasts between rupture and mimicry. The explosive, precise gestures transform the inexorable walk into a hypnotic, transportive experience that explores repetition, synchronization and the poetry of everyday movement.

Directed and adapted by Omar Porras, this fierce staging of Friedrich Dürrenmatt’s La visite de la vieille dame confronts greed, justice and the corrosive power of money. Porras performs the exultant, coiffed billionaire while a tight ensemble — Pierre Boulben, Francisco Cabello, Manon Castellano and others — navigates Dürrenmatt’s tragi-comic turns. Scenography by Fredy Porras and Omar Porras and a subtle dramaturgy by Marie Robert sharpen the satire, transforming the village into a mirror of contemporary moral compromise.

The Inspector Cluzo, a two-man Gascon rock duo who also run a farm in the Landes, balance raw energy and ethical commitment. Their tenth album, Less Is More, produced by Vance Powell, was recorded live in Nashville in four days and mixed in three. Rooted in indie self-production, their work explores ecology, the ideas of D.H. Thoreau and post-growth thinking. On stage they translate these convictions into volcanic, high-energy shows honed over more than 1,300 concerts across 67 countries.

Actapalabra is a wordless fantasmagoria performed by two clowns condemned to circle endlessly. Joan Mompart and Philippe Gouin shape a precise physical score where the absurdity of a routine recalls Chaplin’s Modern Times. Through playful repetition the piece gently shifts from mechanical deadlock to attention to the other and the unknown, blending humour and sensitivity. A universal, tender short piece that poetically invites a rediscovery of our shared humanity.
