Choreographed by Davi Pontes and Wallace Ferreira, Repertório N.1 makes dance an act of self‑defense. Drawing on voguing, ballroom culture, capoeira and queer community codes, the piece transforms the body into a territory of resistance, turning the gesture of a firearm back against the power it symbolizes. Performed without music, the work relies on breath, the impact of steps and the scrape of sneakers, moving between stillness, vogue poses and sudden, frenzied accelerations.
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.

Operation Transat’s Le Grand Village transforms public space into a nomadic, poetic microcosm.

Zafîf blends neo-Bedouin grooves and hypnotic Arabic vocals into a cross-cultural sound world. Formed in Geneva in 2017 by Samir Mokrani and Khalil Bensid, the ensemble combines oud, guembri, saz, keyboards, drums and diverse percussion to weave Gnawa rhythms, G‑funk grooves and Arabic-Anatolian melismas. With Dorian Selmi on drums and Alban Ribouleau on keys, and guest masters from Gnawa and Yemenite traditions, improvisation drives the arrangements. DJ and producer Ramin adds electronic textures and club sensibilities, creating a layered, trance-like journey.
