The concert Mediterráneo by Cappella Mediterranea offers a captivating journey through Spanish and Mediterranean music. This eclectic program highlights the poetic and musical works of Joan Manuel Serrat, a giant of Spanish song, seamlessly blending them with pieces from Spain’s Siglo de Oro (Golden Age).

The ensemble explores iconic Serrat songs like Mediterráneo and Aquellas pequeñas cosas, transformed into polyphonic madrigals and arranged for period instruments such as the viola da gamba, harpsichord, recorder, and guitar. It’s an invitation to rediscover these songs in a fresh light while celebrating Mediterranean cultural heritage.

Presented by Les AMAZONES à la Julienne, this satirical comedy upends fairy-tale logic to expose social conventions. A distinguished lecturer’s attempt to rehabilitate classic tales unravels as a sarcastic Witch dismantles founding myths, and heroines from Cinderella to Snow White rebel, bore themselves or awaken sexually. Mixing social satire, dark comedy and biting poetry, the piece stages wild reversals where prey become predators, yielding a hilarious yet cruel portrait of a post–fairy‑tale world that unsettles as it amuses.

Free entry, donations welcome.

Théo Duboule (guitar, compositions), Noé Tavelli (drums, compositions) and Bänz Oester (double bass) form a daring Swiss jazz trio whose music blends Coltrane- and Hendrix-inspired improvisation with Afro-descendant rhythms. Their playing balances fiery energy and a taste for risk, moving between spacious lyricism and intense collective drive. Having impressed with Street Sight (Hout Records, 2022), they continue to expand their sound on the new album Isobar, recorded with Matthieu Michel, seeking a grounded yet intense expression.

30 April – 10 May

Co-created by Pascal Gravat and Julien Mages for Compagnie Revolver, “Nu Vite” (Naked Quickly) is a choreo-biography in which a dancer and an author probe time, ageing and the urgent need to seize each instant. The work blends intimate movement and written testimony, set to music by Pierce Warnecke with sound design by Clive Jenkins and lighting by Alessandra Domingues. The 75‑minute performance explores memory, bodily change and the delicate rhythm between presence and loss.

In French. Adults only (17+).
