Trio Joubran — Twenty Springs

Booking Required

Trio Joubran, formed by brothers Samir, Wissam and Adnan Joubran, presents Twenty Springs: a two-decade survey of their oeuvre for oud. Joined by a string quartet (Valentin Mussou, cello; Anne Gouverneur and Sylvain Favre, violins; Anne Berry, viola) and percussionists Habib Meftah and Ersoj Kazimov, the ensemble expands the trio’s intimate sound into a rich, resonant tapestry. Arrangements alternate fragile solo interludes and sweeping, rhythmic passages, where luminous strings and precise percussion amplify the oud’s plaintive melodies, creating a meditative, emotionally charged journey.

A forgotten cassette in a tape recorder becomes the key to a journey through time.
Two coworkers, Kurt and Willard, are plunged into the heart of an unprecedented psychiatric experiment where delirium and lucidity intertwine.

They must piece together a puzzle that will lead them to the very edge of madness. “Why are you so angry? …Because all of a sudden I was taking control of something? …Huh? Until now you were used to completely controlling the situation, and now this strangeness has crept into your life…”

The piece unfolds as a series of rapid transformations—each reinvention arriving every three minutes—blending physical comedy, memory and gentle satire. The performers invite laughter through self-mockery and shared recognition, balancing fragility and spirited resilience. Staging privileges rhythm and gesture, creating a warm, bittersweet atmosphere that observes the world through playful yet clear‑eyed humour.

Francis Poulenc’s opera stands as a pillar of 20th-century French lyric theatre. This production places students in the demanding solo roles under the musical direction of Emmanuel Olivier, in a staging inspired by Yves Coudray. The story follows a religious community swept up in the turmoil of the French Revolution, exploring fear, faith and the need for redemption. Intimate choral textures, stark dramatic contrast and a restrained yet intense staging aim to immerse listeners in the women’s communal life and moral trials.
