Upcoming performances
Performed on stage by the Eklekto ensemble, the score guides five dancers, six percussionists and forty-eight instruments to conjure up galaxies, waves and whirlwinds – and to slip into the apparent complexity of a sky or landscape spanning states of chaos and balance. A unique experience for all audiences.
Following its premiere at the Pavillon ADC last May, the piece goes on tour:
In collaboration with Eklekto
Cindy Van Acker takes on Pléïades by avant-garde composer Iannis Xenakis, a fiercely independent and resilient figure whose revolutionary energy pulses through his entire oeuvre. Composed in 1978 for six musicians and an impressive array of eighteen sets of instruments, Pléïades stands as a rhythmically unique work. To embark upon this powerful and intricate musical journey through dance, the choreographer brings together five dancers, six musicians from the Geneva-based contemporary percussion collective Eklekto — who will perform Xenakis’s music live — and collaborates with designer and lighting artist Victor Roy.
PREMIERE
27 – 31 May 2026 at Pavillon ADC, Geneva
