Directed by Aurélia Lüscher, Au Grand Passage stages a tender and questioning dialogue with her paternal grandmother and the spectral traces that linger among the living.

Drawing on readings like Magali Molinié and Vinciane Despret, the piece explores what cannot be resolved, using theatre’s spectral dimension to imagine passage between forms.

Performers include Samuel Ades Tesfagergsh (krar, voice), Louise Knobil (electric bass, voice), Cyril Bondi (drums, percussion, voice), Emma Souharce (machines, synths, voice) and Cyril Yeterian (Ufo banjo, electric guitar, voice).
