letemps.ch (French)

Geneva's La Bâtie Festival opened with "Such a Devoted Bunch," a playful new piece by choreographer Ruth Childs and visual artist Cécile Bouffard, running until September 5 at the Pavillon ADC. The work features three dancers, Marta Capaccioli, Mona Fellah, and Cosima Grand, celebrating whimsy and aesthetic play. It opens with the women crouched over a puzzle, an allegory for the loosely connected, dreamlike scenes that follow. The creators frame the piece as a tribute to personal obsessions and fancies, positioning play as both an aesthetic and existential stance. The performance offers a spirited and philosophical start to the season.
