HENGE deliver a space-rock spectacle that blends rave energy and progressive-rock textures. Since arriving seven years ago the band has earned acclaim — two albums, extensive touring and a Best Live Act award — and their performances feel at once exuberant and slightly uncanny. Propulsive rhythms, swirling textures and playful theatricality create an immersive, joyous atmosphere that oscillates between subversion and warmth, broadcasting a message of hope that leaves audiences amused and exhilarated.

Two unexpected deities arrive by bicycle, guided by a capricious GPS, carrying a very serious object: the Wheel of Fortune. They need the audience—especially children—to spin the wheel and together invent a story about a child to whom nothing seems to go right. Misfortunes pile up, luck sticks to the sneakers and solutions must be imagined. A participatory musical tale where chance and imagination shape a different story each time.

In French. Kids ages 5 and up.

12 – 23 August

Directed by Louis Bonard, Les Voüéces follows two reclusive women, Rodogonde and Frénéjus, who live atop a high tower. Louis Bonard and Michèle Gurtner wrote and perform a piece in an enchanted pseudo‑medieval tongue where voice, embroidery and play weave a poetic fable. The performance probes silence, the passage of time, guilt and the unsettling presence of other voices — ghostly, culpable or absurd — with a blend of darkness and dark humour.

In French.
