Contrechamps presents Mathias Spahlinger’s doppelt bejaht, a highly political cycle of 24 solo études probing how a musician carves out a space of freedom within social, political and artistic constraints. The work is open and immersive, performed around the audience so listening becomes a shared, shifting experience. Musicians navigate moments of tension and intimacy, inviting attentive reflection on agency, gesture and the political dimensions of musical choice.
Written and directed by Raphaëlle Farman, this musical comedy follows six eccentric lottery winners whose most improbable dreams suddenly come within reach.

A troupe of spirited performers animates comic tableaux, while playful staging, brisk choreography and bursts of onstage magic create an exuberant, nostalgic atmosphere that celebrates imagination and folly.
