Choreographer Chiara Bersani invites the audience into the undergrowth of an imagined forest, performed in duo with dancer Elena Sgarbossa and a group of workshop participants. The piece stages bodies limited by disability to probe movement, survival and collective care. Inspired by confinement and the inequalities revealed by the pandemic, it turns the stage into an ecosystem — a vibrating floor, layered soundscape and a shared spatial attention — where small gestures, bodily memory and vulnerability become transformative forces and the basis for a newly imagined community.

Emma Saba and Jeanne Pâris revive the lyric repertoire in a subversive, celebratory performance. Playing with time and inheritance, Saba reworks early arias into electric fragments, laughter and amplified sighs. The piece interrogates the politics of the voice as opera sheds its white pageant to become raw material, desire, anger and tenderness. Part performance, part concert, Jalousie des tempêtes stages a ritual of dismantling and rejoicing, where vocal technique meets bodily intensity and theatrical invention.

Choreographed by Jolie Ngemi, Mbok’Elengi transforms the stage into a street: five dancers reimagine Congolese dances, notably the exuberant sebene style. The piece blends contemporary movement and Congolese roots, building cultural bridges through ritual, celebration and resistance. Scenography and lighting shape an ecstatic group party that oscillates between revolt and dream, inviting physical joy and collective catharsis. The performance is non-verbal and driven by rhythm, gesture and communal energy.

Baby Volcano presents a hybrid concert-performance that blends visceral rhythms, immersive imagery and a bold manifesto. The new creation fuses reggaeton, baile funk, volcanic noise and layered chant into a luminous, physical refuge where celebration becomes an act of survival and sharing. Monumental, textile-based scenography reacts to sound, shaping bodies and light into an organic landscape. The piece explores collective emotion through music, movement and theatrical writing. Creation 2026; coproduction.

Baptiste Cazaux presents a fragmented physical dance work that upends the senses. As choreographer and performer, Cazaux sculpts an explosive, hyperkinetic body that collides gestures, styles and sonic fragments like a DJ scratching samples. That’s Twisted mixes pop hymn nostalgia from the 2010s with a psychedelic collage of movement and sound, destabilising time, affect and perception. The piece traces contemporary melancholy and seeks transcendence through layered rhythms, distorted textures and sudden shifts in intensity. Création 2026, coproduction.

Choreographer Cindy Van Acker brings Iannis Xenakis’s Pléïades to the stage, assembling five dancers, six percussionists from the Eklekto collective and a large percussion arsenal. Van Acker shapes a moving percussion landscape where bodies confront the score’s power and complexity, constantly shifting posture and relation to sound. Music is played live; scenography and lighting by Victor Roy frame waves, galaxies and whirlwinds in a rigorous, visceral performance. Creation 2026; coproduction.
