Köln Variations by Édouard Ferlet

FURTHER AFIELD

Édouard Ferlet revisits The Köln Concert, the best‑selling piano album born from Keith Jarrett’s spontaneous live improvisation fifty years ago. On stage he re-examines the record’s themes alongside a second piano driven by a bespoke artificial intelligence, probing the relationship between improvisation and machine learning. The programme blends improvisatory dialogue, delicate pianistic textures and technological experiment to explore how creativity and learning intersect. Presented on an original idea from Printemps de Bourges, in coproduction with Bourges 2028.

Zamakan is a trio led by Egyptian saz master Abdallah Abozekry, guitarist Baptiste Ferrandis and Indo‑Helvetic violinist Baiju Bhatt. Their oriental jazz blends original compositions with improvisation, weaving vigorous rhythms and drifting poetic reveries. The music foregrounds multicultural identities and adventurous interplay: Abozekry’s hypnotic saz, Ferrandis’s inventive guitar and Bhatt’s virtuosic violin create layered textures that move from intimate stillness to incandescent intensity. Their new album Dans le ventre de la nuit frames the project as an assertion of bold, global creativity.

8 – 14 October

Directed by Alexander Zeldin, The Other Place is a contemporary reading of Antigone that carves a tragic family drama out of everyday life. On the anniversary of their father’s death, two estranged sisters confront memories, renovation works and an uncle determined to move on. With Jerry Killick among the cast and a strikingly realistic scenography, the production exposes hidden violences, irreconcilable trajectories and raw emotional fractures in a finely observed, tense staging.

In English.

8 October – 14 November

Told as a solo performance, this piece follows a woman as she remembers the films that shaped her life and blurs the line between cinema and memory. Through references to science-fiction sagas and cinematic archetypes — the woman-soldier, the survivor, the reluctant mother — the show probes identity, fear of change and the ways stories migrate from screen to skin. Sparse staging and intimate narration create a haunting, introspective atmosphere.

In French.

29 September – 18 October

Directed by Céline Goormaghtigh and written by Anne Berest, LA VISITE probes maternal instinct with sharp humour and urgent intensity. In a compact domestic setting, a young mother at the limits of endurance confronts visitors while her defenses dissolve; a trio of actresses whirl and collide, delivering a caustic torrent of language and revealing movement. The work explores ‘matraissance’—the birth of motherhood—balancing lucidity, rage and tenderness to unsettle familiar myths about maternal bliss.

With an authentic, melancholic yet luminous voice, Dinaa transforms personal stories into songs. As singer-songwriter and composer she spent two years on the road alone with her guitar, giving more than a hundred concerts and sharing stages with renowned artists. Her debut album, Maison Vide, blends pop-rock, blues-soul and hip-hop–infused lyricism to map a raw emotional territory, singing of love, fractures and inner struggles with sincerity and restrained power.

6 – 18 October

Directed by Fanny Brunet and Carole Schafroth, this theatrical adaptation of Daniel de Roulet’s novel follows ten young women who emigrate to Patagonia to found an egalitarian anarchist community. Using object theatre, the production blends storytelling, projected images and reflective passages to probe anarchist utopias, working-class conditions, migration and the marginalised role of women in history. The staging is intimate and inventive, inviting thought and emotion through tactile imagery and poetic gesture.

In French.
