Presented by Philippe Béran, this fifth edition of L’OSR c’est vous! invites the audience into a sweeping musical journey across genres and eras. The Orchestre de la Suisse Romande blends symphonic works by Cécile Chaminade and Johannes Brahms with iconic film scores and popular repertoire ranging from Jurassic Park to Captain Marvel, Aladdin and the Rolling Stones. The programme highlights compositions old and new, including works by Sandrine Rudaz, and showcases orchestral textures and dynamic storytelling.
On a triple bill by the Ballet Junior de Genève, three new works unfold: Yuval Pick’s Revoada, Émilie Leriche’s sad game and Sharon Eyal & Gai Behar’s Untitled Black. The company moves with collective intensity, shifting between taut physicality and lyrical surges. Pick teases singularity through vibrant movement, Leriche propels the dancers into precise, breathless lyricism, and Eyal/Behar impose a hypnotic, technically demanding finale. The evening is charged, communal and viscerally alive.
Led by Geneva-born Venezuelan percussionist Edwin Sanz, En Talla is a Geneva-based salsa quartet that lights up the stage with fiery Latin grooves and precise contemporary arrangements. Their music blends instrumental virtuosity with sophisticated writing, each track pulsing as an irresistible invitation to dance. The group’s live performances are both explosive and sensual, balancing tight ensemble interplay and rhythmic drive to create an immersive experience for salsa lovers and fans of sunlit rhythms.
These two premiere performances present a large-scale collective choreography by Catol Teixeira (The Tongue) and a dystopian fiction by Marion Siéfert (Bunker). The Tongue explores ensemble movement, textural layers and spatial composition; Bunker unfolds a tense speculative narrative forged through dramaturgical research. Both pieces stem from extended creation periods in Romandy and invite spectators to witness artistic processes and the evolving stage languages of the companies.
