Spiegelberg Village, Saignelégier

Nout is three French women who explode the codes of free jazz with a possessed electric harp, a furious flute and a crazy drum kit. Winners of the Zenith Award (European award that recognizes emerging and innovative talents on the jazz scene). Free jazz has never been so punk. Hop, a slap and to bed! Or almost.

What if we transformed the "Down", this moment of weakness, this descent after ecstasy, into an uppercut? This is the madness that Mélissa Guex and Clément Grin present in a show where dance and drums collide. Between punk rhythms and flamboyant costumes, the dancer on 1000 volts and the drummer create a performance that pulses, that beats and that celebrates, with groove and wild movements.

For its second edition, the Spiegelberg Festival continues its commitment to the themes of belonging and migration. In collaboration with Jura Intégr’action, the festival gives voice to people from migration backgrounds through writing workshops led by Laurence Maître and Fanny Wobmann of the Compagnie Leopold. These plural stories then come to life on stage, in a performed reading. At the same time, the Syrian poet Anisa Roomleh will lead a workshop for young audiences.

A multi-instrumentalist from Neuchâtel, Olivia Pedroli weaves subtle links between classical, folk and experimental music. Her compositions have taken her from concert halls to museums, from cinema to theater. At the Spiegelberg, she presents "Se glisser par les interstices... et éclore", a composition originally created for the Usinesonore festival. "Interstices" (shortened name) is an immersive installation about movement, once again blurring boundaries. A jack-of-all-trades who touched us deeply.
