Tropismes

Tropismes is an ensemble theatre creation devised by an amateur company, shaped from performers’ improvisations into a cohesive script. Directed by Xavier Cavada, Nathalie Cuenet and Valérie Poirier, the staging explores chance encounters in a concourse where bodies brush, avoid or collide. Through comic misunderstandings, burlesque situations and sudden, life-changing meetings, the ensemble balances comedy and tenderness, creating an intimate, sensory experience that observes how small gestures reconfigure relationships.

Invited by the OSR, Krzysztof Urbański conducts the Berner Symphonieorchester with Swiss pianist Francesco Piemontesi in a programme devoted to Johannes Brahms. The evening contrasts the Piano Concerto No. 1—born in mourning, marked by solemn intensity—with the radiant serenity of Symphony No. 2. The interpretation privileges orchestral warmth, layered textures and clear dynamic shaping, transporting listeners into an intimate, emotionally charged sound world where lyricism and dramatic surges alternate with measured poise.

Created and performed by Sandra Widmer Joly, this theatrical piece confronts finitude with a blend of poetry, tenderness and dark humour. Drawing on the author’s fifteen years as a funeral celebrant, the work weaves personal testimony, quiet rituals and moments of levity. Dramaturg Antoine Jaccoud provided textual guidance following a writing workshop, and members of the Célébrys network bring lived professional experience to the stage. The overall tone is intimate, reflective and surprisingly warm.

Drawing on the poetry of Alda Merini, this new creation by Cie Linga brings seven performers and dedicated collaborators together in a politically charged, poetic ensemble. The piece explores collective choreography as a living, shifting organism: bodies merge, diverge and form ever-changing configurations that reveal individual singularities within a shared consciousness. Through intimate physical connections and circulating emotions, the company imagines diversity as a source of collective richness and a hopeful vision of communal joy.
