Matthieu Llodra and Valentin Liechti reunite as a duo to revisit their electronic roots in a set that blends improvised performance with the rhythmic energy of House, Jungle and Broken Beat. Drawing on fifteen years of collaboration, they offer a dance-focused homage to 1990s club culture, where live interplay and spontaneous textures meet propulsive grooves and layered samples. The evening promises an exploratory, club-oriented soundscape that balances nostalgia with improvisational freedom.
Set between domestication and escape, La zone nono follows a troupe of ragged yet endearing animals seeking community and freedom. Two table puppeteers and two musicians bring to life quirky creatures through live music and songs, blending humour and poetry. The staging balances intimacy and playful invention, exploring solidarity, resilience and the pull of the wild. The show is performed in French and mixes witty storytelling with musicality and inventive puppetry.

Centred on Sami Bernath’s embodied memories, this performance mixes Swiss popular songs, rhythmic gestures and the traditional Löffelä spoon percussion to transform everyday motions into sound. Through repetition, deformation and rhythmic saturation, familiar motifs become permeable, revealing buried and repressed memories beneath the Swiss mountains. The staging is intimate and ritualistic, alternating fragile vocal fragments and percussive textures to probe memory and collective inheritance.

Choreography and performance by Victoria Dauberville, this dance piece follows a ballerina who literally escapes her music box to discover a new world and, ultimately, herself. Like a doll shaped by strict rules, she abandons prescribed steps and meets other dancers and styles, inventing her own movement. The staging plays with expectation and humour, questioning what it means to dance with others and alone, and opening space for surprise and tenderness.
Led by Warren Ellis (violin) with Mick Turner (guitar) and Jim White (drums), Dirty Three craft expansive instrumental narratives that blend post‑rock, folk, classical and free jazz. Their music moves through intimate, quiet passages to sweeping, cathartic crescendos, built from delicate interplay and raw timbre. The trio’s return with Love Changes Everything (2024) deepens their reputation for emotive soundscapes and intense live catharsis. Their long collaborations with artists like Nick Cave, Cat Power and Bonnie “Prince” Billy underscore a singular voice in contemporary alternative music.
Double Jeu is a sharp, playful improvisation show built around strategy, split-second choices and mutual misdirection. Each performer receives a secret mission and must weave it discreetly into the action, turning every scene into a live game of influence, bluff and comic escalation. The result is fast, unpredictable theatre where the ensemble’s timing, listening and inventiveness keep the audience guessing until the very last exchange.
