María de Buenos Aires

Booking Required

Astor Piazzolla’s opérita María de Buenos Aires, with libretto by Horacio Ferrer, fuses opera, theatre and tango in a hallucinatory, fragmented dramaturgy that blurs dream and reality. Staged by Amélie Parias and musically led by William Sabatier (bandonéon), the production features Sol García (María), Diego Valentín Flores (Gorrion), Sebastián Ross (Duende), Quatuor Terpsycordes and a string ensemble (Girolamo Bottiglieri, Raya Raytcheva, Caroline Cohen-Adad, Florestan Darbellay). A poetic, sensual retelling of birth, fall and mythic rebirth, presented in coproduction with Negracha Productions and Nouvel Opéra de Fribourg.

Mentir lo Mínimo by Cie Alta Gama follows the journey of three bodies — a woman, a man and a bicycle — stripped down to the essentials: the body itself. Performers Amanda and Alejo create daring partnering, acrobatics and bicycle voltiges to explore self-relationship, identity and intimacy. Blending circus, theatre and live music within a minimalist aesthetic, the piece treats physicality with subtlety and celebration, offering a poetic, tactile reflection on presence.

Invited by the OSR, Krzysztof Urbański conducts the Berner Symphonieorchester with Swiss pianist Francesco Piemontesi in a programme devoted to Johannes Brahms. The evening contrasts the Piano Concerto No. 1—born in mourning, marked by solemn intensity—with the radiant serenity of Symphony No. 2. The interpretation privileges orchestral warmth, layered textures and clear dynamic shaping, transporting listeners into an intimate, emotionally charged sound world where lyricism and dramatic surges alternate with measured poise.

5 – 7 November

Presented within the Emerentia festival, this evening gathers three original short dance pieces by Shereya, Joce and Uma. Inspired by literary short stories, the program uses compact narrative forms to probe storytelling through movement, confronting the codes and bodies of institutional contemporary dance. Each 30-minute piece shifts tone and atmosphere, alternating intimate gestures and bold choreographic risk to explore memory, desire and afterlives of the party. The work favours concentrated dramaturgy and physical immediacy.

La P’tite Fumée returns with an explosive live set that fuses psytrance energy and cyberpunk atmospheres.

The reworked live show emphasizes visceral dynamics, dense sound layers and raw intensity, offering a powerful, immersive concert experience that bridges tradition and modern electronic experimentation.

Part of Recluses Fest #10, this evening brings a rare tribute to Parabellum alongside performances by Ring of Cash and Vikie. Former members of Parabellum reunite with guests and local scene stalwarts to revisit cult anthems with raw intensity and communal fervour. Ring of Cash blends power-folk-rock energy with Juliette Canouet’s captivating voice, supported by Mika Garcia, Jean-Philippe Soler and Xa Mesa. Vikie opens with a punk-tinged, politically charged chanson, creating an exhilarating, sweat-soaked atmosphere.

Quatuor Terpsycordes overturns chamber music conventions by forging a direct, living relationship with the audience. Combining boldness and sensitivity, the quartet moves fluidly through repertoire from pre-classical works to contemporary creations, searching constantly for balance between tradition and freedom. Their Haydn cycle on period instruments and a recent album have crystallized this rigorous, inspired approach. Violinists Girolamo Bottiglieri and Raya Raytcheva, violist Caroline Cohen-Adad and cellist Florestan Darbellay shape luminous textures and intense chamber dialogue, inviting deep listening and vibrant emotional exchange.
