Directed by Sophie Perez for the Compagnie du Zerep, Sturbzep turns the stage into a machine of collective hallucinations. Drawing on hoaxes, cryptids and literary impostures, the piece mixes haunted-manor atmospheres, neon-free fairground textures and prophetic nightmares. Sophie Lenoir, Stéphane Roger, Erge Yu, Adrien Castillo and Baptiste de Laubier embody a controlled chaos of creatures and smoky visions. Text by Pacôme Thiellement and music by hackedepicciotto shape an uncanny, theatrical odyssey.

Created and performed by Diederik Peeters, Confabulations blurs the boundary between reality and illusion. Playing a psychiatrist, Peeters uses archival material, historical narratives and personal testimonies to probe memory, perception and confabulation. The staging mixes shifting visual worlds, forensic references and moments of hallucination to produce an unsettling, lyrical investigation of psychiatry, neurology and neurodivergent experience. Second instalment of a trilogy following Apparitions (2018), the piece invites a vertiginous reflection on truth and remembrance.

Les Argonautes, under the direction of Jonas Descotte, present a programme of French baroque sacred music by Jean‑François Lalouette and Jean Gilles. The evening centres on Lalouette’s monumental Miserere — offered here in a world premiere — alongside Gilles’s Requiem. The ensemble’s refined phrasing, transparent textures and expressive choir ornamentation bring renewed clarity to these 18th‑century works, revealing their dramatic contrasts and devotional intimacy.

Gli Angeli Genève performs a programme of sacred cantatas and motets by Johann Sebastian Bach and Andreas Hammerschmidt. The concert features Bach’s BWV 66, BWV 154 and BWV 168 alongside Hammerschmidt motets, delivered by choir and soloists with period-informed interpretation and transparent instrumental support. The evening explores spiritual contrasts—intense emotion, luminous choruses and expressive arias—presented with refined phrasing and historical sensitivity.

Performed by La Chambre des Anges and Gli Angeli Genève, this programme revives a forgotten treasury of 17th-century Polish music. The evening blends sacred Advent motets and vivid instrumental pieces by Mikołaj Zieleński, Marcin Mielczewski, Bartłomiej Pękiel, Marcin Szelest and other contemporaries. Elegant vocal lines, period instrumentation and attentive ensemble phrasing reveal liturgical intimacy and bright instrumental colour, inviting attentive listening to rarely heard repertoire. A short introductory talk frames the historical and musical context.

Gli Angeli continues its exploration of Josquin Desprez with a programme devoted to his Marian music, centred on the Missa Ave maris stella. The concert alternates sections of the mass with striking motets to create a living, contrasted journey through Renaissance polyphony. Josquin’s clarity of line, vocal purity and expressive inventiveness shape an immediate and moving experience, where complex craftsmanship becomes accessible and luminous. The evening invites listeners to rediscover masterpieces of sacred music in an intimate, contemplative setting.
