Choreographer Ugo Dehaes replaces his human troupe with extravagant robot-dancers endowed with an artificial intelligence that invents their own choreography. Intimate and unsettling, the performance invites the audience to sit around a table as the mechanised performers execute an uncanny, rhythmic ballet. Marie Peeters’ dramaturgy frames questions about labour, profit and the place of culture, while Wannes Deneer’s scenography and musical composition shape a tactile, immersive atmosphere. The piece blends humour, critique and physical precision.
Choreographed by Ana Pi, Atomic Joy is a visceral dance piece that transforms joy into an act of resistance. Drawing on Grand Paris street dances and afrodiasporic legacies, Ana Pi brings together eight performers in a physically incandescent ensemble where groove, tension and jubilation collide. Between political manifesto and sensory ritual, the work explores resilience, collective renewal and the raw energy of bodies in motion. Produced in collaboration with Festival Antigel and the Ville de Vernier cultural service.
At La Parfumerie, “VERTIGES” by Catherine Tinivella Aeschimann takes us to the base of the Eiger’s north face, where five tourists follow the climb of mountaineer Ueli Steck.

Directed by Tamara Fischer, this show offers a communal and introspective experience.

This four-evening concert cycle stages a collision between nostalgic anachronism and urgent futurity, producing jolting aesthetic shocks. Musicians move between written material and wild improvisation, blending kitsch textures, dazzling contrasts and incandescent timbres. Florence Melnotte (kaoscilator, piano, synthesizer, vocals), Sylvain Fournier (drums, vocals) and Louis Billette (saxophones, flugelhorn, vocals) shape a sound-world where intimacy and chaos entwine, inviting listeners into a luminous, unpredictable musical theatre.
Adapted and performed by Felipe Castro, this solo staging probes the absurdity of war, murderous nationalism and the raw misery at the heart of Céline’s writing. Coach José Lillo supports a performance of muscular, visceral language while Natacha Jaquerod’s set, Rinaldo Del Boca’s lighting and Jean Faravel’s sound sculpt stark, claustrophobic atmospheres. The production balances brutal imagery with moments of surprising humanity, revealing the author’s vocation as a doctor through an intimate, relentless theatrical journey.
