Directed by Louis Bonard, Les Voüéces follows two reclusive women, Rodogonde and Frénéjus, who live atop a high tower. Louis Bonard and Michèle Gurtner wrote and perform a piece in an enchanted pseudo‑medieval tongue where voice, embroidery and play weave a poetic fable. The performance probes silence, the passage of time, guilt and the unsettling presence of other voices — ghostly, culpable or absurd — with a blend of darkness and dark humour.

Artistic direction highlights collaboration between soloists and the ensemble, offering evocative, finely crafted interpretations and a vibrant communal listening experience.
Directed by Leonardo Piana with the collective Bottega Hospites, Divertimento is a performance-opera for voice and live electronics that draws on Tiepolo’s drawings, the myth of Orpheus and the fate of a monumental Canova statue.

Intimate yet monumental, the piece invites sustained listening and visual contemplation.
Two unexpected deities arrive by bicycle, guided by a capricious GPS, carrying a very serious object: the Wheel of Fortune. They need the audience—especially children—to spin the wheel and together invent a story about a child to whom nothing seems to go right. Misfortunes pile up, luck sticks to the sneakers and solutions must be imagined. A participatory musical tale where chance and imagination shape a different story each time.
In French. Kids ages 5 and up.
