Electric Rastrello deliver a frenzied, abrasive tronic-rock punk surge as a compact duo, contrasted by France’s power trio that unfolds monolithic riffs propelled by an amplified hurdy-gurdy, bass and drums. The programme fuses live combustion and raw dynamics into dense, immersive soundscapes, shifting between frantic attacks and submerged, textured passages. Between sets, Carl and Fuxy Lady craft a tailored record set that frames and links the two performances.

Chronicle of a fleeting liaison, this intimate theatrical piece examines the fragile architecture of desire and memory. Through concentrated scenes, the company maps the emotional aftershocks of a brief relationship, shifting between candid dialogue and charged silences.

The production favors close observation and emotional clarity, inviting reflection on attachment and the traces left behind.

Masood Boomgaard performs as Self-Help Singh, an alter ego who fuses stand-up comedy, parody and faux motivational speaking into a sharp, character-driven show. His sharp stage persona amplifies timely observations. With dry humour and plainspoken common-sense, he dismantles self-improvement clichés and exposes modern anxieties through carefully observed gags and storytelling. The performance balances wit and unexpected tenderness, inviting reflection as much as laughter.

Across intimate stagings the festival favors inventive direction, close ensemble interplay and a balance of wit and intensity, offering encounters that privilege physical presence, tonal variety and rigorous dramaturgy.
