Choreographed by Valeska Romero Curiqueo, Pewma (Mapudungun for “dream”) weaves dance, performance, live sound and poetry to trace transmissions between bodies. The piece confronts peripheral, wounded and violently marked identities through ritualized gestures and sensual collisions, invoking Venus as a figure of omen, destruction and rebirth. Live violin, synthesizers and vocals shape a tense, luminous soundscape as bodies dissolve and reconstitute, staging desire, friction and collective memory.
Oscar M. Damianaki’s Sacré Saoulé gathers a collective of performers to examine mourning, anger and exhaustion through a charged, intimate choreography. The piece moves between bitterness and tenderness, exploring a grief born of ongoing oppression that resists closure. Performers Tejus Menon and Davia Spain cocreate a physical language informed by discreet eroticism. Lighting by Tiki and costumes by Arsen Aeby shape a tense, tactile atmosphere. Co-produced by Emergentia.
Jonas Van leads a workshop that rethinks dramaturgy as a spectral presence, drawing on K. Wycisk’s idea of dramaturgy as a ghost and W. Imarisha’s practice of visionary fiction. Through collective tarot readings and sensory methods, the workshop investigates dramaturgy as a metabolic process where time, memory and the body become creative oracles. Participants are invited to shift thought from the brain toward the gut and to consider the dramaturge as a ghostly agent activating and nourishing persistent elements of artistic creation.

Presented within the Emerentia festival, this evening gathers three original short dance pieces by Shereya, Joce and Uma. Inspired by literary short stories, the program uses compact narrative forms to probe storytelling through movement, confronting the codes and bodies of institutional contemporary dance. Each 30-minute piece shifts tone and atmosphere, alternating intimate gestures and bold choreographic risk to explore memory, desire and afterlives of the party. The work favours concentrated dramaturgy and physical immediacy.
Directed by Léa Katharina Meier and performed by Alina Arshi, Mayara Yamada and Léa Katharina Meier, HiHiHaHa! La grande bibli cracra stages three embodied books in a soaked, uncanny library. The piece blends grotesque wonder and cringe to probe shame, traumatic memory and fiction, inventing an archive of feelings populated by strange domestic figures. With comic fabrication and a playful critical eye, it interrogates norms of authority — archives, school, family and heterosexuality — while opening toward unexpected knowledge and future jubilations.
