Aria Da Capo

“Aria da Capo” features four young musicians on the cusp of adulthood, delving into their musical obsessions and desires in the privacy of their rooms. This production, originating in 2020, weaves together the journey of personal longing with the pursuit of musical mastery, shifting between everyday realities and poetic expression.

The play examines the rigors of musical training, the bonds of camaraderie, the fear of failure, and the challenge of measuring oneself against both peers and the grand masters of the past. Adolescence is portrayed as a time of both openness and isolation, loneliness and brotherhood, in a raw yet sublime manner.

Actor Samuel Labarthe turns Nicolas Bouvier’s fever-drenched memoir The Scorpion-Fish into a hypnotic, miniaturist tour de force: marooned in 1950s Ceylon after a headlong road trip from Geneva through the Balkans and Afghanistan, the once-ebullient traveller spirals into tropical delirium, trading human company for buzzing insects, mirage-bright visions and mordant humour that flits between the sublime and the grotesque. Under Catherine Schaub’s finely gauged direction, Labarthe channels both the lush lyricism and the slow-burn torment of this “motionless voyage,” distilling Bouvier’s languid prose into a tactile, rejuvenating elixir that lets the audience feel every bead of sweat, jolt of wonder and sting of isolation.
