26 – 27 August

Medieval Crack is a performative choreography by Collectif Foulles that collapses medieval imagery into a living, queer‑inflected spectacle. Conceived and choreographed by the collective (Collin Cabanis, Auguste de Boursetty, Délia Krayenbühl, Emma Saba and Fabio Zoppelli) and performed by Collin Cabanis, Auguste de Boursetty, Délia Krayenbühl, Clovis Maillet and Fabio Zoppelli, the work unfreezes sacred tableaux through pop‑medieval songs, spoken interventions and dances that shift from ritual to concert. The piece probes historical fissures to reveal other narratives, bodies and modes of existence.

In French.

Friday 28 August, 21:00

Arat Kilo navigates between musical territories, blending ethio-jazz and vibrant afro-groove, driven by the powerful voice of Malian singer Mamani Keita. Brass and keyboards trace melodies rooted in Ethiopian tradition while contemporary grooves propel the rhythm section. The songs address political and social questions, yet the performance preserves a deeply collective energy. The result is engaged, kinetic music where improvisation and rhythmic drive invite the audience into a warm, communal sound world.

Saturday 29 August, 22:00

Mitsune brings together four musicians wielding the shamisen, blending ancient Japanese folk song with psychedelic textures and rock energy. Powerful vocals, near-ritual rhythms and vivid arrangements transform traditional narratives into a contemporary sonic ritual. Based in Berlin and composed of artists from several countries, the ensemble circulates Japanese traditions through an amplified, visually charged sound. Line-up: Shiomi Kawaguchi (shamisen, shinobue, voice), Youka Snell (shamisen, voice), Daigo Nakai (bass, voice), Petros Tzekos (percussion).

Saturday 29 August, 14:00

Atelier Grrr leads a hands-on scenography workshop that invites participants to become young scenographers by exploring the forest as a creative stage. The session investigates how we perceive outdoor spaces through all senses and how to design temporary installations that respond to nature. Participants experiment with listening, imagining and collective play, focusing on process and care rather than final outcomes. The workshop encourages playful collaboration and attentive stewardship of natural environments.

Saturday 29 August, 21:00

Junee is a delicate yet powerful musical duo formed in 2020 by Fhunyue Gao and Zoé Sjollema. Their debut album, Océan Oublié / Assordante (Stone Pixels), unfolds two complementary faces: the pop-tinged, melancholic Océan Oublié and the experimental, organic Assordante. Composed across Geneva, Lucerne and Fribourg and recorded with Augustin Sjollema, the project blends theremin, modular analogue synthesis, violin, synth and voices to build cinematic, theatre-like soundscapes that oscillate between intimacy and theatrical density.

29 – 30 August

Le cerveau mou de l’existence is an intimate, slightly unsettling dance piece by Collectif Foulles that transforms the skull into a playful landscape. Conceived and choreographed by the collective (Collin Cabanis, Auguste de Boursetty, Délia Krayenbühl, Emma Saba, Fabio Zoppelli), five performers move as a single body: they slide, fall, rise and tangle across a soft terrain of pink mattresses. Music, projected images and sculptural staging weave intrusive memories, yawns and looping songs into a tactile, poetic choreography.
