Bia Ferreira

Free

Bia Ferreira is a Brazilian singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and self-described “artivist” whose music fuses soul, blues, reggae, funk, R&B and rap with Brazilian traditions. Her performance weaves intimate vocals and layered instrumentation into politically charged songs addressing structural racism, LGBT+ discrimination, Black feminism, love and community. The stage presence combines raw emotion and ritualised grooves, inviting listening that is both resistant and healing. Atmospheric arrangements and rhythmic intensity create moments of tenderness, urgency and communal solidarity.

La Dame Blanche

Performances

Scène Ella Fitzgerald

Yaité Ramos Rodriguez, known as La Dame Blanche, blends hip-hop, reggae, cumbia, dancehall and Afro‑Cuban traditions into a powerful, hypnotic musical world. As singer and flautist she draws on santería spirituality and family heritage to embody a mystical stage figure—part fierce energy, part sensual presence. For over a decade her work fuses Latin and urban rhythms in intense performances that act as a vibrant cry of emancipation, energy and freedom.

Avant-premières

Performances

La Comédie de Genève

These two premiere performances present a large-scale collective choreography by Catol Teixeira (The Tongue) and a dystopian fiction by Marion Siéfert (Bunker). The Tongue explores ensemble movement, textural layers and spatial composition; Bunker unfolds a tense speculative narrative forged through dramaturgical research. Both pieces stem from extended creation periods in Romandy and invite spectators to witness artistic processes and the evolving stage languages of the companies.

The Tongue – in English.
