Led by conductor Gonzalo Martinez, La Chapelle vocale de Lausanne joins the Ensemble baroque du Léman to present Bach’s Mass in B minor. Soloists Camille Allérat and Marine Margot (sopranos), Rodrigo Sosa dal Pozzo (alto), Davy Cornillot (tenor) and Samuel Moreno (bass) shape a luminous vocal tapestry. Drawing together movements written across Bach’s life, the performance balances architectural counterpoint and intimate devotional moments, where baroque phrasing, instrumental color and choir coalesce into a profound, testament-like expression of spiritual intensity.
Power struggles take center stage in this political and human narrative, offering a sharp reflection on legitimacy, chaos, and the quest for identity. The production incorporates a modular set design with models, puppetry, and contemporary projections to craft an epic theater experience that blends comedy and tragedy, rooted in past and present crises.

Based on the Jekyll myth, this theatrical adaptation examines metamorphosis as both physical and social, probing identity, gender and the boundary between good and male/female. Stark black-and-white staging and chiaroscuro lighting evoke twilight and old horror films, while a persistent, slicing fog thickens the atmosphere. The venerable Dr Jekyll’s unsettling experiments unfold in a late-19th-century London laboratory, and his circle is drawn into mounting anguish as transformations accelerate.
