Festival de la Bâtie – Fushitsusha 不失者

Booking Required

Led since the late 1970s by the unclassifiable Keiji Haino, Fushitsusha is a trio that obliterates the boundary between rock, psychedelia, improvisation and noise. Their concerts are seismic ritual: guitars rumble, bass carves the ground and drums hurl the music into unpredictable motion, shifting between electric trance and controlled chaos. Over decades they have forged a radical, physical sound where tension builds until it swallows the space, offering an intense, immersive encounter with underground Japanese experimental music.

Brooklyn-born poet and musician Aja Monet weaves spoken word and jazz-inflected song into a charged, intimate performance. Her voice combines surreal imagery, precise diction and raw emotional clarity, supported by subtle electronic textures and live instrumentalists. Collaborations with leading jazz and soul figures inform a multidisciplinary approach that blends improvisation, rhythmic poetics and melodic hooks. The staging favors close, cinematic lighting and spacious soundscapes, inviting listeners into a communal, urgent evening of reflection and fierce tenderness.

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.

6 – 27 August
