Led by Salvatore Vinci and an ensemble of multi-instrumentalists, this programme presents traditional music from Basilicata, Calabria, Sicily and Sardinia.

Rooted in field research, the performance moves between ritual songs, lively dances and the tarantella’s irresistible momentum, offering vivid, earthy textures and communal intensity.
Festa Mediterranea gathers musicians, dancers and tradition-bearers from Southern Italy in a celebration of communal ritual and seasonal renewal. Rooted in popular cultures, the program threads fervor, humour and virtuosic technique through concerts, a communal bal and dance workshops.

The experience is both exuberant and intimate, inviting shared movement and attentive listening.
Created by Aurélie Hubeau and Lucie Hanoy, L’IMPOSTURE is a comic and poetic exploration of doubt, self-image and belonging. The piece follows a woman who describes herself as too small, obese, ugly and a tomboy, and recounts how she forged an identity in today’s world. Using objects, clothing and puppets manipulated with inventive choreography, the performance weaves humor, poetry and music — from Patrick Bruel to gospel and karaoke — to celebrate difference and question social norms, delivering warmth and poignancy.

Presented by the Geneva company Alavan, Interstice#4 — Zone Grise follows four former friends who reunite ten years after attending the same pre-professional theatre class.

Intimate and tactile, the staging invites a close exchange between artists and audience, tracing memory, silence and the fragile work of reconnecting.
