3 – 4 September

Choreographer Katerina Andreou stages a raw, physical dance work that propels fourteen performers from the Norwegian company Carte Blanche into an endurance-like marathon. Drawing on the dance marathons of the Great Depression, the piece explores desire, fatigue, power and the human need for connection as bodies cling, push and exhaust themselves within a hypnotic pulse. Between collective trance, biting irony and uncontrollable vitality, the choreography stages the tension between chaos and control and our fascination with performance and intimacy.

In English and multilingual (sung parts only).

2 – 5 September

Three performers plunge into the ideas of Mark Fisher to question why imagining different futures has become so difficult. On stage, electronic music, rap, projected texts like slogans, militant karaoke and a miniature dancefloor collide. Each performer circulates with an alter ego — a kitsch, radical, excessive version of themselves — as identities slip, overlap and are improvised live. Produced by Superprod in coproduction with La Bâtie and TO!.

In French.

Actor and singer Lambert Wilson channels Kurt Weill’s music in an intense, elegant recital. Accompanied by the Lemanic Modern Ensemble, he revives selections from The Threepenny Opera, The Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny, Lady in the Dark and other stage works, moving between Berlin cabaret textures, jubilant jazz and theatrical declamation. The performance relies on close ensemble interplay and expressive phrasing to probe themes of urban decadence, irony and longing.

In French.
