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).

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.

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.

Three performers plunge into the ideas of Mark Fisher to question why imagining different futures has become so difficult. On stage, electronic music, rap, projected texts like slogans, militant karaoke and a miniature dancefloor collide. Each performer circulates with an alter ego — a kitsch, radical, excessive version of themselves — as identities slip, overlap and are improvised live. Produced by Superprod in coproduction with La Bâtie and TO!.
