Light and Darkness — Liederkranz-Concordia Choir

Conductor Stanislava Nankova leads the Liederkranz-Concordia Choir with an ad hoc symphony orchestra, featuring soloists Fanny Utiger (soprano), Oscar Esmerode (tenor) and Sacha Michon (baritone). The programme juxtaposes operatic arias by Puccini, Boito and Mascagni with sacred and Classical choral pages by Mozart, tracing a path between darkness and light. The music alternates visceral verismo intensity and luminous choral spirituality, creating a dramatic, emotionally charged sound world that pivots between suffering and hope.

15 September – 11 October

A darkly comic solo play about obsession and domestic chaos. When Michel finds a rare record he has long sought, he prepares a perfect hour to listen — but family, neighbours and a drip that will wreck the disc steadily intrude. The piece skewers selfishness with sharp humour and precise staging, combining intimate realism and heightened farce to probe human smallness and the desperate desire for solitude.

Composed and performed by Vittorio Montalti, Blue Electricity investigates technological surveillance and the erosion of freedom through tense, immersive sound. Metallic percussion, transformed everyday objects and electronic textures blur acoustic and processed timbres, while reactive lighting shapes the performance’s spatial sculpting. The ensemble — Eklekto, Romane Bouffioux, Louis Delignon, Corentin Marillier and Fabien Perreau — executes The Smell of Blue Electricity (2021), a quartet-percussion and live electronics piece that folds theatrical tension into a collective sonic experience.

Stalls and food options accompany the stages, creating a convivial frame for loud, visceral music.

24 – 27 September

Choreographed by Valeska Romero Curiqueo, Pewma (Mapudungun for “dream”) weaves dance, performance, live sound and poetry to trace transmissions between bodies. The piece confronts peripheral, wounded and violently marked identities through ritualized gestures and sensual collisions, invoking Venus as a figure of omen, destruction and rebirth. Live violin, synthesizers and vocals shape a tense, luminous soundscape as bodies dissolve and reconstitute, staging desire, friction and collective memory.
