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.
