What if opera led us into the heart of a lush garden, populated by plants with forgotten names, migrating roots and invisible beings? Teatro di Verzura is an invitation to see and hear differently. In this show, baroque music deploys all its power, carried by the singing of cantoLX and the richness of ancient instruments. Artist Lise Duclaux – also on stage – leads us, through her texts and drawings, into a dialogue with the vegetal realm. She reveals a microcosm hidden from our fleeting glance: a world where humans are no longer the only things at the centre of the living world.
An introduction to the show will take place on 20/11 at 7.15pm.
A discussion with the artistic team will take place on 21/11 after the performance.
Gallotta? A name that revolutionised contemporary dance, subtly fusing desire, frenzy and gentleness. One enters this show a bit like in a movie theatre. In the half-light, antechamber to the imagination, light suddenly appears: no big screen here, but dance! With a troupe of nine dancers, Jean-Claude Gallotta celebrates his encounters with the directors who have mattered to him – Federico Fellini and Leos Carax, Jean-Luc Godard and Tonie Marshall … This homage gives birth to a joyful, carnal and intimate ballet. The choreographer’s voice-over takes on the tone of a shared confidence, conveying to us, like an offering, his love of cinema.
An introduction to the show by the artistic team will take place at 7.15pm (FR).
In a manner all his own, Kader Attou infuses hip-hop aesthetics into contemporary dance pieces. With Symfonia, he revives a successful show that draws on the emotional power of Henryk Górecki’s hypnotic Symphony No 3. Solemn and heartbreaking, this score is a tribute to the Mother and womanhood. The acrobatic spinning of breakdance intertwines with the aerial movement of classical ballet. Although the 10 men and women on stage mostly wear sneakers, the music propels them into a world of interiority and mystery, in a resolutely languorous, expansive and fraternal dance.

Pinocchio, the talking pine log from Carlo Collodi’s imagination, inspired Sofia Nappi to create this new choreography. In Pupo, the troupe of seven dancers show what they’re made of: the dance pulses to an effervescent tempo, physical commitment is unconditional and muscles tighten as if hooked on the strings of a virtuoso puppeteer. Having performed in Hofesh Shechter’s shows and as the recipient of frequent invitations to work with international companies (Nederlands Dans Theater, Scottish Dance Theatre, etc.), the Italian choreographer poses the question: how can we adults rediscover the essence, impulsive and joyful, of our childhood?

Rappelez-vous Poil de la bête la saison passée. Autour de Juan et Diane, artistes fermier·ères, brillait toute une constellation d’actrices formidables : des canes, des poules, mais aussi Paulette la chienne, fidèle au poste. Et s’il y en a une qui ne stresse pas à l’idée de remonter sur scène, c’est bien elle ! Loyauté, courage, fidélité : depuis toujours, on associe le chien à quelques valeurs fondamentales, ce que ne démentiront ni Snoopy, ni Gromit, ni Milou. Mais qu’en est-il en réalité ? Au gré d’expériences insolites et drôles, Pas Bête nous plonge dans les pensées philosophiques… de la race canine !

With an inimitable mime artistry and tours all around the world, German company Familie Flöz gives life, without a word, to a tale without any bittersweet words, where magic occurs. In a villa looking like a fortress, by the sea, a family is celebrating the daughter’s wedding. In the shadow, the pressure on the domestic servants is at its peak. Social labels are at play when, all of a sudden, a pregnant and homeless stranger shows up. The order of things becomes disrupted… Those naively human but sublime characters carry us away in their wake with humor, poetry and tenderness, with no distinction whatsoever.
Where do I come from and where am I going? Those questions are tackled by the 10 dancers of the Vertigo Dance Company, an Israeli company. In Makom, this troupe appears as torn between two ends, shaken by the magnetic forces of repulsion and attraction. Successively sensual and contemplative, eruptive and contained, their bodies swing through branches separating them, supporting them and end up, like a bridge, bringing them closer. In a world where every person is looking for a safe position, choreographer Noa Wertheim pits an artistic world of reconciliation and openness opposing walls and isolation.
Smilla Wolff, a pianist and trumpetist from Esch, makes us experience again the tireless enthusiasm of George Gershwin, the prodigious American composer of the 1920s. The young musician, who was awarded the Music prize from Esch’s Rotary Club in 2024, will interpret his brilliant scores, notably those from the An American in Paris musical. In the second half of the evening, the Orchestre de l’Harmonie municipale d’Esch/Alzette will be performing other musical masterpieces with compositions by John Williams, accompanied by a projection.
The Mummenschanz show up… and so does the audience, everywhere in the world. The Swiss company is more than a name: it is an art form that has left a durable mark on the world of theater with unprecedented and unique shows. Filled with dreams, absurdity and tenderness, those acts give life to universes full of little stories and big creatures. Made of moss, clay, metal or toilet paper, those funny silhouettes perambulate silently, carried by virtuoso artists invisible to the naked eye. Surrealistic situations always end up getting out of hand, bringing about laughter and poetry.
