Pascal Greco & Lea Bertucci

Point Favre

Pascal Greco, an Italo-Swiss filmmaker and photographer, presents an immersive experience with his film Kwai Shing West Estate. This cine-concert explores the imposing architecture of Hong Kong’s public housing while capturing both the solitude and everyday life within it. Accompanied live by New York composer Lea Bertucci, the performance transforms ambient sounds from the site into a striking sonic experience. The project pays tribute to a pivotal time—the 2019–2020 pro-democracy protests—offering a reflection on resistance and expression within a densely urban context.

Turangalîla-Symphony by Messiaen performed by the OSR

Performances

Victoria Hall

The Orchestre de la Suisse Romande, conducted by Bertrand de Billy, presents Messiaen’s Turangalîla-Symphonie with Kit Armstrong on piano and Cécile Lartigau on ondes Martenot.

The OSR first performed Olivier Messiaen’s “Turangalîla-Symphonie” in a memorable concert in 1981, conducted by Horst Stein and the composer himself attending all rehearsals – a significant event then, this symphonic gem remains an extraordinary experience. This grand love song unfolds in ten movements, featuring a sizeable ensemble enhanced with the piano and ondes Martenot. Although labelled a symphony, it’s more like a sinfonia concertante involving all sections of the orchestra, putting a spotlight on the piano, with its challenging part specially tailored for Messiaen’s wife, Yvonne Loriod. The vibrant composition dazzles with a myriad of colors, drawing influence from the oriental gamelans that fueled Messiaen’s creativity.

The sacred, without world

Performances

MAH

Vir Andres Hera’s performance, “The sacred, without world,” featuring Jona Bruixet and Maya Zaton, draws inspiration from Marlene NourbeSe Philip’s poem “Zong!” to explore poetic realms and semantic chaos. The artists craft a collective narrative interweaving multiple temporalities, drawing elements from carnival, oceans, ballrooms, and seismographs. This piece aims to give voice to the dead, engage in dialogue with them, and challenge historical documents that oppress marginalized and colonized peoples. It unfolds within the residency “IT’S ABOUT TIME” by Thomas Conchou at the MAH.
