Sneers, an Italian duo led by Greta Blaankart (electric guitar, vocals) and Leonardo O. Stefenelli (drums), delivers an intense, melancholic odyssey through dark/occult rock. Their new record, (Don’t Quit Before) The Miracle, produced by Jamie Stewart (Xiu Xiu) and released on God Unknown Records, frames a possessed, atmospheric soundscape. The set is laced with ritualistic rhythms, haunting melodies and moments of raw catharsis, complemented by a vinyl passage from NuRe OnnA and Fuxy Lady.

In French.

22 September – 4 October

Directed by Nathalie Cuenet and written by Valérie Poirier, Dire adieu is performed by Compagnie Volodia. The piece stages fragmented conversations between a daughter and her mother, probing a quest for recognition and the fragile possibility of reconciliation. Its form recalls the codes of Greek tragedy, using heightened language and concentrated staging to explore memory, silence and unresolved grief. The ensemble creates a tense, intimate atmosphere that makes emotional rupture palpable.
