Let It B — Bach, Britten & Beethoven

Booking Required

Under the direction of Sergey Ostrovsky, this classical concert pairs luminous Baroque textures with 20th-century intimacy. Flutist Natan C’zorzi brings warmth to Bach’s orchestral suite, while Sarah Pagin’s soprano and Noémie Bialobroda’s alto deliver Britten’s vocal cycles with expressive clarity. The programme culminates in a delicate string-orchestra arrangement of Beethoven’s late quartet, offering a contemplative, chamber-like sound. The evening balances technical finesse and emotional depth, inviting attentive listening in a refined acoustic setting.

Toutes les femmes sont des aliens

Performances

Théâtre du Grütli

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.

La Migration des cœurs

Performances

Le Poche

Adapted freely from Maryse Condé and Emily Brontë, this theatrical adaptation follows Razyé and Cathy across three generations in a post-emancipation Guadeloupe. Directed by Anne Monfort, the production probes themes of racism, passion, pride, social violence, vengeance and fatalism through a visceral, rhythmic staging. The ensemble uses sparse, evocative design and intense physical interplay to reveal how inherited trauma shapes desire and retribution.

Retour au pays / Hugo von Hofmannsthal

Performances

Théâtre des Amis

Directed by Marie-José Malis, Retour au pays revisits Hugo von Hofmannsthal’s letters through a spare, lucid staging. Performers Alexandra Tiedemann and Juan Crespillo inhabit the returning merchant’s disorientation, while Aurélia Ansermet provides live music and sound. Bernard Héritier’s scenography and Jessy Ducatillon’s lighting shape moments of visual surprise, most poignantly a Van Gogh encounter that restores belief in the world. The piece refuses facile answers, offering theatrical lucidity and an austere emotional clarity.
