“Submersion Games” by Bryan Campbell at Maison Saint-Gervais is a performance drawing inspiration from the novel Moby Dick. It intertwines themes of eroticism, ecocide violence, and sado-masochistic rituals, delving into the desires and sufferings present in our relationships with work, sexuality, and the natural world. The piece immerses the audience in a maritime experience.
“Les Trois Soeurs à Trois” by Collectif BPM at Maison Saint-Gervais presents an inventive reinterpretation of Chekhov’s play. Artists Catherine Büchi, Léa Pohlhammer, and Pierre Mifsud transform this classic by portraying journalists recording a radio show. They narrate the real or imagined stories of different productions of the play, while sharing personal and family anecdotes, providing a humorous and sharp reflection on their own dreams and illusions.

Choreographer Ugo Dehaes replaces his human troupe with extravagant robot-dancers endowed with an artificial intelligence that invents their own choreography. Intimate and unsettling, the performance invites the audience to sit around a table as the mechanised performers execute an uncanny, rhythmic ballet. Marie Peeters’ dramaturgy frames questions about labour, profit and the place of culture, while Wannes Deneer’s scenography and musical composition shape a tactile, immersive atmosphere. The piece blends humour, critique and physical precision.
Since its founding, La Fanfare du Loup has served as a musical laboratory where diverse traditions and practices meet. For this project the ensemble invites Finnish saxophonist and composer Esa Pietilä, whose exploratory voice reframes genre boundaries. The large ensemble, including Christophe Berthet (sax), Théo Duboule (guitar), Aïda Diop (percussion), Marie Mercier (clarinets) and others, trades tight horn figures, shimmering textures and improvisatory flights, creating dense, evolving soundscapes that blend composition and collective spontaneity.
Laurent Gay’s anniversary concert, marking his fifteen years at HEM, promises a romantically charged evening featuring the HEM Orchestra, conducted by Gay himself, along with soprano Clémence Tilquin. The program showcases Richard Strauss’s “Six Lieder” and Anton Bruckner’s “Symphony No. 4.” This event highlights a passionate fusion of voice and orchestra while celebrating nearly thirty of Laurent Gay’s original works.
Adapted and performed by Felipe Castro, this solo staging probes the absurdity of war, murderous nationalism and the raw misery at the heart of Céline’s writing. Coach José Lillo supports a performance of muscular, visceral language while Natacha Jaquerod’s set, Rinaldo Del Boca’s lighting and Jean Faravel’s sound sculpt stark, claustrophobic atmospheres. The production balances brutal imagery with moments of surprising humanity, revealing the author’s vocation as a doctor through an intimate, relentless theatrical journey.
