15th Anniversary of the Orchestre des Nations — Mozart & Shostakovich

Booking Required

Under the baton of Antoine Marguier, the Orchestre des Nations marks its fifteenth anniversary in a program that juxtaposes Mozart’s crystalline lyricism with Shostakovich’s stormier drama. Pianist Matei Varga offers a poised, introspective account of Mozart’s Piano Concerto No.20, while the orchestra moves through Shostakovich’s Fifth with tense rhythms and luminous orchestral colours. The evening traces a dramaturgy of light and shadow, inviting listeners into a tense, cathartic journey shaped by rigorous ensemble playing and concentrated emotional intensity.

Created by Aurélie Hubeau and Lucie Hanoy, L’IMPOSTURE is a comic and poetic exploration of doubt, self-image and belonging. The piece follows a woman who describes herself as too small, obese, ugly and a tomboy, and recounts how she forged an identity in today’s world. Using objects, clothing and puppets manipulated with inventive choreography, the performance weaves humor, poetry and music — from Patrick Bruel to gospel and karaoke — to celebrate difference and question social norms, delivering warmth and poignancy.

Written by Penda Diouf and staged by Evelyne Castellino, LA GRANDE OURSE is an ecofeminist fable that traces a mother’s descent after a minor incident becomes criminalized. Combining video, choreographed movement and choral voices, the piece weaves police violence, racism and sexism into a hallucinatory, dystopian world where omnipresent surveillance watches every gesture. As the heroine reconnects with ancestral nature by transforming into a bear, the production evokes animal survival instinct, collective gossip and the fragile line between humanity and wildness, offering a visceral, poetic reflection on power and resistance.
