Choreographed by Aurélie Dupuis and Zoé Lefèvre of danced stances, Spitting Image is performed by lisa laurent, Marie Popall and Tyra Wigg. Born from the Choréopolice/Choréopolitique research-creation, the piece interrogates choreographies of control and normativity that shape urban space. Using resemblance, mimicry and abrasive vocal textures, it dismantles recurring images and unresolved traces of the past. Intimate gestures and fragmented tableaux create a tense, confrontational atmosphere that examines how collective bodies inherit and refuse inherited forms.

Choreographed by Nefeli Papadimouli, Dream Coat (IV) is performed by students of the Ballet Junior de Genève around ten large textile sculptures that function as costumes and modular set pieces. The work draws on early 20th-century utopian avant‑gardes and the visual language of Etel Adnan, weaving references to Greek myth—Orpheus and Hypnos—into a study of dreams as collective and individual memory. Developed from “dreamstorming” sessions, the piece activates circular, Matisse-like gestures and dervish-inspired turns, exploring ephemeral communities through movement and tactile fabric sculptures.

Choreographer Lenio Kaklea responds to a 2023 commission from Le Commun with a layered performance that transforms Diana Ross’s “I’m Coming Out” into a study of queer visual histories. A preceding video, An Alphabet for the Camera (from Analphabète, 2017), presents a catalogue of danced figures where each phrase functions as a sign. Drawing on queer artists and scenographers, the work traces how collective memory and perception teach us to love the female body through animated, ritualised gestures.
