The Nouvel Ensemble Contemporain de La Chaux-de-Fonds (NEC) is celebrating its 30th anniversary in 2025. This is an opportunity for the ensemble take on more ambitious and original projects than ever before. Together with singer and actress Jeannine Hirzel and director and composer Astride Schlaefli, the ensemble will create a piece that combines music and gastronomy and is inspired by Marco Ferreri's famous 1973 film “La grande bouffe” (The Great Feast).
Half a century ago, this film shocked viewers by criticizing the decadent overconsumption of society's upper classes with a raw look. Today, it is unfortunately still topical and is taking on even more disturbing dimensions. However, “La grande bouffe” by NEC will take a fresh look at this bitter realization, with humor, absurdity, and empathy. In the form of an immersive evening, this performance plays with the physical proximity of the audience. There will be music, singing, listening, dancing, cooking, eating, and drinking... in short, it will be a big party! During the concert there will be food for the audience. Drinks are available at the bar. The concert will be followed by a discussion with the audience.
Tickets are CHF 15-35 for adults and CHF 10 for children under age 12 and holders of the Colourkey.
