Christoph Grab’s Shape & Form ensemble

AMR
Booking Required

On Season 25–26, Christoph Grab’s SHAPE & FORM ensemble sculpts music that breathes, born of motifs and intervals and full of sudden changes. Without fixed chords, a linear, wandering harmony carries collective improvisation: alto and tenor saxophones (Christoph Grab), trumpet (Lina Allemano), piano (Matthieu Mazué), double bass (Christian Weber) and drums (Dieter Ulrich). Between jazz, contemporary-classical colours and pulsating rhythms, the group builds a dense, open sound space where structure and spontaneity evolve in equal measure.

Composed and sung by Emmanuelle Bonnet, this new quartet programme presents material from the album Prérie(s), released on her independent label Mousse Records after a 2024 debut on Unit Records.

Staro slips, sneaks and interferes between genres, inhabiting a liminal space between rap and rock. His French-language, finely crafted and punchy lyrics draw listeners into an intimate, turbulent universe where melancholy dances with the fury of living. On stage he alternates restrained phrasing and explosive outbursts, shaping a raw, urgent sound that balances poetic precision with visceral energy. The performance feels both confessional and confrontational, leaving a lingering emotional charge.

31 January & 7 February

Directed by Salma Lagrouni, Barîn, au-delà des frontières is a staged reading inspired by the true story of Shahla, a Kurdish woman from Iran. Shahla performs her own testimony alongside four artists — actresses and musicians — transforming lived experience into raw, poetic drama. The creative team includes composer Berrin Ünsal, set and costume designer Ouidad Lagrouni, builder Gregory Berton and video artist Younes Lagrouni. The piece crafts a cathartic, intimate atmosphere of resilience, memory and female solidarity.

31 January – 5 February

Directed by Cyril Teste, this restless adaptation of Anton Chekhov’s Platonov concentrates the action into a single, simmering night. Teste blends cinema and theatre, letting the camera trace fragments of conversations, music and the shifting paths of desire and solitude. Around the melancholy misanthrope Micha, an ensemble confronts money, regret and incomprehension as frustrations and longings are amplified by summer heat and drink. The staging is at once filmic and theatrical, precise and emotionally porous.

In French.

21 January – 7 February

Inspired by the accounts of women mountaineers, this performance intertwines mountaineering, feminism, and ecology. Two women, united against the elements, commemorate a vanished glacier, confronting fear and hope. The mountain emerges as a symbol of both endangered nature and the solidarity of humanity in need of rebuilding.
