As their name suggests, the "In Between" evenings offer spectators an experience that plunges them into an unusual scenic context, somewhere between concert, installation and performance. This is once again the case for this evening, which is all about water, and even "between two waters". Under the direction of Pierre Bleuse, the works on the program, including three premieres, will spring from a hydraulic environment illuminated by scenographer Urs Schönebaum. An atypical setting to better summon the powerful waters of the Amazon (Marco Suárez-Cifuentes imagining a hydrodynamic work), the torrents tumbling down the mountains of Tyrol(The Living Mountain by Thomas Larcher) or the visible traces of invisible thoughts(a visible trace by Rebecca Saunders).
