Festival de la Bâtie – Une Rencontre Suspendue

An intimate aerial encounter, Une rencontre suspendue brings together hair suspension, acrobatic play, guitar harmonies and a textured singing voice. Conceived by the collective Association VOILÀ VOILÀ, this short creation features aerial acrobat Lili Parson Piguet and musician Jeanne Pâris. The piece mixes fragile physicality and musical intimacy to trace a delicate complicity between movement and sound, where everyday materials become instruments of tension and tenderness. Presented as a compact, sensory performance within the festival context.

Francis Poulenc’s opera stands as a pillar of 20th-century French lyric theatre. This production places students in the demanding solo roles under the musical direction of Emmanuel Olivier, in a staging inspired by Yves Coudray. The story follows a religious community swept up in the turmoil of the French Revolution, exploring fear, faith and the need for redemption. Intimate choral textures, stark dramatic contrast and a restrained yet intense staging aim to immerse listeners in the women’s communal life and moral trials.

Jorge Aragão brings a lifetime of samba to the stage in a program marking fifty years of songwriting and performance. His warm, unhurried delivery shapes songs that feel like lived stories—rooted in street culture, collective memory and Brazilian popular resilience. The concert unfolds as a generational transmission, where voice, rhythmic pulse and intimate phrasing invite reflection and communal joy. Lighting and sound craft close, enveloping atmospheres that foreground human warmth and the music’s soulful swing.

Set during a bitter winter in 1980s Turkey amid a military coup, Kar Korsanlari (Snow Pirates) follows three boys who scavenge for coal to survive the cold. With intimate, observational imagery and restrained yet powerful storytelling, the film contrasts the harsh authority of soldiers with the fragile, playful solidarity of childhood. A quietly political and poetic debut, it exposes the mechanisms of repression while celebrating youthful resilience and small acts of compassion.

Aline Courvoisier designs costumes and Danielle Milovic and Loane Ruga the lighting. Coproduction: F.A.B Force Prod., Venedig Meer.
