Promenade Obligatoire

Booking Required

FURTHER AFIELD

Choreographer Anne Nguyen, rooted in breakdance battles and informed by scientific studies, rebuilds hip‑hop vocabulary with a mathematical sensuality. Promenade Obligatoire stages an uninterrupted, ordered march across the performance space that becomes a meditation on life’s meaning and the passage of time. Popping—blocks, isolations and body dissociations—sharpens contrasts between rupture and mimicry. The explosive, precise gestures transform the inexorable walk into a hypnotic, transportive experience that explores repetition, synchronization and the poetry of everyday movement.

The Lion and the Jewel

Performances

Terre-Sainte

FURTHER AFIELD

An award-winning comedy by Wole Soyinka, this staging follows Sidi, the village ‘jewel’, as she becomes the centre of a satirical clash between tradition and modernity. Director Yvette Stevens shapes a vibrant production that blends storytelling, music and dance, yoking sharp humour to ritual and spectacle. The opposing suitors—Lakunle, a westernised schoolteacher, and the wily chief Baroka—embody cultural tensions that the ensemble explores through lively choreography and precise comic timing.

In English.

Partition of the Future – Squared

Performances

Plaine de Plainpalais

At the crossroads of theatre, mixed reality and technological installation, this immersive performance invites audiences to test the machine built by a scientist to tackle existential problems. Wearing mixed-reality headsets, spectators collectively explore the chaotic inner world of a person trapped by indecision. The experience moves between human vulnerability and artificial intelligence, until the machine itself begins to falter in the face of what it cannot fully understand.

Olga de Soto — An Introduction (revisited)

Performances

Concorde

Choreographed by Olga de Soto, this intimate solo examines Kurt Jooss’s La Table verte through memory, political legacy and the choreographer’s questioning. On a bare stage, de Soto is accompanied by projected archival images and videos, narrating her research and creative process. The piece traces before-and-after echoes of the original ballet, combining investigative reflection with poetic movement. Co-created with Arta Sperto and Dance First Think Later, the work unfolds as a rigorous yet lyrical inquiry into art, history and witness.

In French.
