Electron Festival × Les Créatives – Pioneers! by DeLaurentis

Zamakan is a trio led by Egyptian saz master Abdallah Abozekry, guitarist Baptiste Ferrandis and Indo‑Helvetic violinist Baiju Bhatt. Their oriental jazz blends original compositions with improvisation, weaving vigorous rhythms and drifting poetic reveries. The music foregrounds multicultural identities and adventurous interplay: Abozekry’s hypnotic saz, Ferrandis’s inventive guitar and Bhatt’s virtuosic violin create layered textures that move from intimate stillness to incandescent intensity. Their new album Dans le ventre de la nuit frames the project as an assertion of bold, global creativity.

Conceived, written and performed by Adrien Barazzone, La politique du pire stages a single actor embodying a tumultuous municipal council debating a contemporary artwork replacing a statue. With mordant energy he inhabits a civic body and offers a sharp, jubilant mirror on public life, playing the paradox of solitary performance versus republican dialogue. Scenography: Hélène Bessero-Belti and Tom Richtarch; costumes: Maria Muscalu; sound: Fernando de Miguel; lighting: Vincent Scalbert; collaborators: Barbara Schlittler, Christian Geffroy Schlittler; consultant: Nils‑A. Sambuc. Second instalment of the Trilogie des systèmes, begun with Toute intention de nuire (2024); final part due spring 2027.

Yoann Provenzano returns with a new stand-up show, PERFORMANCE, interrogating the cult of success and the pressure to always perform. With candid digressions and wry observation, Provenzano examines social media’s staging of achievements, identity, and the gap between shown lives and private failures. His tone mixes philosophical flights and self-deprecation, oscillating between sharp satire and warm absurdity. The evening feels intimate yet electric, as the comedian turns everyday anxieties into moments of unexpected clarity and laughter.
