Sinnthese + Fairymarichel + DJ Sets

From Germany, Sinnthese brings a mischievous, restless strain of synth-pop, threading exploratory new wave through sound collages and absurdist-realist text fragments. The solo live set draws on a Korg MS-20 and a mix of songs and lyrics. Japanese sound performer Fairymarichel shapes an improvised electronic world with modular textures, moving between noise, avant-garde experimentation and fractured tanz-techno. Le Horla and Sofy Maladie complete the bill with a specially devised record set, extending the evening’s adventurous, shifting sonic palette.

Cindy Van Acker / Cie Greffe — The Impromptus

Performances

MAH

Choreographed by Cindy Van Acker with Cie Greffe, Les Impromptus grew from the choreographer’s solitary encounters with the paintings of Léon Spilliaert. These ephemeral, site-responsive performances are invented in the moment: short, spontaneous pieces shaped by interactions with artworks, spaces and present spectators. Emphasising proximity and improvisation, the work unfolds through the company’s refined movement vocabulary, exploring presence, memory and the play of light and silence to create intimate, immediate compositions rooted in the here and now.

Le Dieu du carnage

Performances

Théâtre Pitoëff

Directed by Elidan Arzoni, this fiery, hilarious staging of Yasmina Reza’s play follows two couples whose polite attempt to resolve a quarrel between their sons collapses into a savage verbal carnage. Performers Sophie Broustal, Vincent Jacquet, Camille Édith Bouzaglo and Frédéric Landenberg unleash sharp, tightly wound exchanges, while Benoît Delaunay’s scenography and Hervé Broillet’s costumes frame escalating social fractures. Danielle Milovic’s lighting and meticulous stagecraft intensify a darkly comic exploration of civility, hypocrisy and unleashed instincts.
