Improvised Dubbing: The Great Show

An improvisational troupe revoices film and television extracts live, inventing dialogue that reshapes the images on screen. Performers build characters, textures and comic timing in real time, turning familiar footage into surreal, often hilarious scenes. The creative approach blends rapid‑fire vocal play, cinematic awareness and ensemble listening, producing moments of rupture, tenderness and surprise. Alternating cast includes Eric Lecoultre, Adrien Laplana, Pauline Maitre, Nina Cachelin and others.

Shyle Zalewski invites audiences into a two-part evening combining zine culture and an intimate concert. The first part presents a meeting and signing of self-published fanzines, foregrounding handwritten narratives and the DIY community around the artist. Later, under the alter ego edam edam, Zalewski offers a live set that blends fragile melodies and lo-fi textures, shifting the room from quiet reflection to charged immediacy. The night foregrounds intimacy, creative exchange, and the blurred line between reading and song.

Choreographer and performer Marco D’Agostin fuses scientific lecture, musical comedy and intimate confession in Astéroïde. Posing as a paleontologist, he handles ancient bones while tracing the extinction of dinosaurs, but the scholarly frame cracks as memory, desire and song spill out. A solo that shifts between popular science, theatre and Broadway‑style numbers, it explores loss and survival with wit, physical precision and theatrical exuberance. Produced with Piccolo Teatro di Milano.
