Théa delivers a raw, combustible set that channels revolt and despair through intense lyrics and a bold musical fusion. Drawing on punk urgency, rave pulsations, emocore vulnerability and glossy (ultra)pop hooks, the artist balances abrasive energy with melodic clarity. The performance favors visceral vocal delivery, high-tension arrangements and immersive dynamics that invite both catharsis and reflection. Minimal staging foregrounds the music and emotional immediacy.
Created and performed by DeLaurentis, Pionnières! rewrites the history of electronic music through the voices of women who shaped it. Drawing on influences from Éliane Radigue to Suzanne Ciani, Delia Derbyshire and Björk, the solo performer blends live machines — notably a rare ARP 2500 — with archival material and striking visuals developed with Sony CSL. Originally created for the 50th anniversary of Printemps de Bourges and presented in collaboration with Electron Festival × Les Créatives, the work offers an immersive, reflective exploration of memory and legacy.
Scène Vagabonde’s seventh edition brings a compact program of contemporary theatre and music, presenting three contrasting stage works — “Par le bout du nez”, “Quadrille” and “Prima facie” — alongside a concert by Orchestre Tout Puissant Marcel Duchamp as part of La Bâtie-Festival de Genève. Across intimate stagings the festival favors inventive direction, close ensemble interplay and a balance of wit and intensity, offering encounters that privilege physical presence, tonal variety and rigorous dramaturgy.
Prima Facie, by Suzie Miller, stages a tense courtroom drama centred on Tessa, a brilliant defence lawyer whose life is upended after she becomes the victim of an assault.

Directed by Françoise Courvoisier, this production of Anton Chekhov’s Oncle Vania — translated by Arthur Adamov — assembles a committed ensemble (Vincent Bonillo, Pierre Dubey, Bérangère Mastrangelo, Patricia Mollet-Mercier, Clarisse Morizot, Pierre Omer, Juliana Samarine, Edmond Vuilloud) to explore love, the passage of time and illusions lost. The staging, created with scenographer Gilbert Maire and painter André Kasper, uses Rinaldo Del Boca’s lighting, Pierre Omer’s music and Nicolas Le Roy’s sound to evoke both the comedy and the terrifying humanity of Chekhov.

Conductor Stanislava Nankova leads the Liederkranz-Concordia Choir with an ad hoc symphony orchestra, featuring soloists Fanny Utiger (soprano), Oscar Esmerode (tenor) and Sacha Michon (baritone).

The music alternates visceral verismo intensity and luminous choral spirituality, creating a dramatic, emotionally charged sound world that pivots between suffering and hope.
