Based on the Jekyll myth, this theatrical adaptation examines metamorphosis as both physical and social, probing identity, gender and the boundary between good and male/female. Stark black-and-white staging and chiaroscuro lighting evoke twilight and old horror films, while a persistent, slicing fog thickens the atmosphere. The venerable Dr Jekyll’s unsettling experiments unfold in a late-19th-century London laboratory, and his circle is drawn into mounting anguish as transformations accelerate.

Performed by Ensemble Sinfonietta Bern and the Quartet Sinfonietta Bern, this programme presents Mozart’s Little Night Serenade with sparkling clarity and buoyant energy. The musicians shape agile string textures and luminous phrasing, revealing grace, charm and radiant colour.

The result is spirited, luminous and quietly jubilant.
