Created, directed and performed by Naïm, this solo show mixes sharp, observational humour and theatrical invention. With candid anecdotes and a spirited stage presence, Naïm examines irritations, both personal and collective, and turns them into energetic sketches and reflections. The staging plays with rhythm, props and lighting to shift mood between satire and intimacy, inviting audiences into a candid and lively portrait of a contemporary voice.

Ensemble BOW presents a programme of John Williams’s most iconic film scores, from Star Wars and Jurassic Park to Schindler’s List and Harry Potter. The musicians conjure cinematic textures with vivid orchestral colour, dynamic brass fanfares and intimate string passages. Arrangements highlight rhythmic drive and lyrical solos, while the ensemble’s clarity and energy recreate the emotional arcs of the original soundtracks. This evening celebrates Williams’s enduring knack for melodic storytelling and transports listeners into familiar film worlds.
Loops on Ice blends choreographed skating, live chamber music and electronic loops into a kinetic, hypnotic performance. The Orchestre de Chambre de Genève weaves repetitive, circular motifs while dancer and skater Stephen Thompson shapes tempo through continuous choreography on the ice. Electronic artist YMNK adds modular synths and homemade machines, injecting a danceable, raw energy. Co-produced with Festival de la Bâtie, the piece explores momentum, circulation and ecstatic repetition.
Extra Loops Party closes the festival with an intense late-night celebration of electronic textures and rhythmic exploration. The programme gathers DJs and live performers around looping, improvisation and dense soundscapes, favouring immersive sets and collective energy. Lighting and spatial design amplify the experience, turning the space into a pulsating, communal dancefloor. The line-up will be announced later, keeping the night open to surprises and spontaneous encounters.
Choreographed by Léo Lérus, Gounouj in situ is an intimate, physical dance for four performers that evokes fragile, living landscapes. Rooted in gwoka rhythms and inspired by the creole concept of bousyè, the work blends traditional and contemporary vocabularies to explore vulnerability, transformation and resistance. Bodies shift between human and amphibious states across a sensory soundscape of bird song and marine breath, transforming the stage into a moving ecosystem and proposing a fragile possibility of new balance.
Created and performed by Diederik Peeters, Confabulations blurs the boundary between reality and illusion. Playing a psychiatrist, Peeters uses archival material, historical narratives and personal testimonies to probe memory, perception and confabulation. The staging mixes shifting visual worlds, forensic references and moments of hallucination to produce an unsettling, lyrical investigation of psychiatry, neurology and neurodivergent experience. Second instalment of a trilogy following Apparitions (2018), the piece invites a vertiginous reflection on truth and remembrance.
