Duboule | Tavelli | Oester

Booking Required

Théo Duboule (guitar, compositions), Noé Tavelli (drums, compositions) and Bänz Oester (double bass) form a daring Swiss jazz trio whose music blends Coltrane- and Hendrix-inspired improvisation with Afro-descendant rhythms. Their playing balances fiery energy and a taste for risk, moving between spacious lyricism and intense collective drive. Having impressed with Street Sight (Hout Records, 2022), they continue to expand their sound on the new album Isobar, recorded with Matthieu Michel, seeking a grounded yet intense expression.

Room 0: The Director’s Confessions

Performances

Théâtre des Grottes

Spiritist, improvisatory theatre that unfolds like a forbidden confession. In a bare room lit by pale light, a former asylum director faces the camera and speaks in a voice at once calm and unnerving. Memory, guilt and hallucination interlace as fragments of institutional history—erased files, unclaimed patients—resurface and unmake narrative coherence. The staging relies on sparse set and stark lighting to heighten claustrophobic intimacy, inviting a slow, disquieting immersion in the uncanny.

Le repas des fauves

Performances

École des Ranches

About the play
1942. France is under occupation. Seven friends gather to celebrate Sophie’s birthday—until two German officers are shot beneath their windows. Kaubach, a Nazi commander, forces the guests to make an unthinkable choice: to designate two hostages among themselves.
Thus begins a harrowing struggle for survival. By confronting the depths of human nature, the play invites us to question which side we would have chosen.

In French.

Maurice Magnoni — iNiT

Performances

AMR

Alto saxophonist Maurice Magnoni presents iNiT, a 60-minute solo improvisation that traces an intimate study of intuition and sound. Drawing from years of spontaneous practice, Magnoni sculpts raw fragments into evolving textures, balancing controlled motifs with moments of chaotic release. Sparse silence and dense multiphonics create a shifting acoustic landscape, while attentive micro-phrasing and dynamic shading invite close listening. The piece foregrounds process over form, offering a concentrated, immersive musical journey.
