OPERAMI is set to present a semi-staged and costumed production of Blow’s “Venus and Adonis” and Purcell’s “Dido and Aeneas” at Victoria Hall. Directed by Madeline Alexander, with lead performances by Marion Decorvet, Sacha Michon, and Carolina Acuña, the evening will shine a spotlight on two baroque operas. Alongside the well-known “Dido and Aeneas,” audiences will have the rare opportunity to experience Blow’s cherished yet seldom performed “Venus and Adonis.”
The lo.me collective presents “Max Pounder,” a performance exploring the enduring nature of play through the physical body and stage design. In this space where rules are continuously renegotiated, the ground transforms into both a playground and a projection canvas. The performance pits the body against various elements, seeking its place, stumbling, and devising new strategies. Drawing inspiration from sports and genre cinema, this creation is part of the exhibition “Side Quest for the Real,” which also features performances, films, conversations, and tours to further explore the concept of play.
Actor Samuel Labarthe turns Nicolas Bouvier’s fever-drenched memoir The Scorpion-Fish into a hypnotic, miniaturist tour de force: marooned in 1950s Ceylon after a headlong road trip from Geneva through the Balkans and Afghanistan, the once-ebullient traveller spirals into tropical delirium, trading human company for buzzing insects, mirage-bright visions and mordant humour that flits between the sublime and the grotesque. Under Catherine Schaub’s finely gauged direction, Labarthe channels both the lush lyricism and the slow-burn torment of this “motionless voyage,” distilling Bouvier’s languid prose into a tactile, rejuvenating elixir that lets the audience feel every bead of sweat, jolt of wonder and sting of isolation.
