One of the aims of the festival is to give the public the opportunity to discover different trends in dance in Switzerland and the world, whilst incorporating the Théâtre de Sévelin 36 within a dynamic network of diffusion.

This year, the Festival continues its exploration of contemporary choreography, setting the scene for Swiss creation with the Compagnie Utilité Publique, but also with the choreographers Gilles Jobin and Kylie Walters. Artists from other European countries will also be at the venue: Compagnie Caterina & Carlotta Sagna (I), Ben J. Riepe (D), ZOO – Thomas Hauert (B), Superamas (F/AT). So many senses to be discovered during the three week programme. There’s something new this year at the Arsenic Centre, where we are planning a public show for youngsters aged 6 and above, with Matrioska, choreographed by the Portuguese Tiago Guedes.
