Take several violin melodies and layer them carefully. Add a few synthesisers and drum machines. Mix thoroughly. Incorporate reverb and delay. Season with improvisation to taste. Close your eyes and enjoy. And even if this sounds like the recipe for the All Reitz Reserved sound, you will never achieve the same result twice.
In his latest opus, Chris Reitz explores a limited range of instruments. The transition between the digital world of computers and controllers and more organic machines and sonic elements culminated in the release of Refractions in November 2020. Chris uses the electric violin as a means of emotional expression, while enriching his live performances with interactive elements such as synthesisers, drum machines, and effects pedals.
Chris draws his influences from the roots of ambient and electronic music, as well as from 1990s trip-hop and deep house. Passionate about dreamlike and colourful soundscapes, he uses textures and atmospheres from the real world to give his work a pictorial dimension, skilfully combining synthetic and organic sounds. Convinced that live music must be able to breathe, flourish, and evolve, Chris makes improvisation a key element of his performances, allowing him to interact with and connect to his audience.

The band Zero Point Five is likely familiar to many thanks to its strong presence on Luxembourgish radio, its performances at music festivals and, more recently, its impressive second-place finish at the Luxembourg Song Contest 2025, the national selection for Eurovision.
The group blends elements of country, folk and pop, with a distinctive sound highlighted by violins, banjos and guitars, giving their music an authentic country soul.
What began as a high school folk duo in 2009 has since evolved into a five-piece band touring across Europe and the United States, captivating audiences with enchanting songs and their infectious on-stage energy.

Their music is a vibrant and diverse blend of their Luxembourgish roots, combined with Celtic folk, French chanson and catchy pop. These exceptional musicians instantly win over your heart and take you on an exhilarating musical journey. Dream Catcher reflects its country of origin: multilingual and cosmopolitan.
In 1998, their first EP Happy In My Treehouse was released and quickly became a classic on Luxembourg’s radio stations. The track “Deng Hand”, composed and released in 2003 as part of a campaign against leukaemia, became another major success for this charming group. In 2023, the song was reinterpreted to mark the 20th anniversary of Télévie, produced by the brilliant pianist and composer Augustin Charnet.

Body percussion | Musical performanceSalle Krieps 2.00 pm & 4.00 pm
As a duo and using only their bare hands, with humour, simplicity and great generosity, the two accomplices create in the blink of an eye a unique and organic sound dialogue between themselves and the audience. They compose live and in the moment for a few dozen mouths, pairs of eyes, and several hundred fingers and toes.
Making music with their own bodies and those of others is, for them, the most direct way—the shortest and most natural path—to share a unique moment with everyone and each individual at once, shaped by the mood and the surrounding buzz.
A musical performance for all audiences, adaptable to any setting!
With the support of IDDAC, Espace culturel Treulon – Bruges (33), and Centre culturel Bleu Pluriel – Trégueux (22).
Cie Sons de Toile is supported by the municipality of Sigalens, the Gironde Department, and the Nouvelle-Aquitaine Region.
Salle Ensch 2.30 pm & 3.30 pm
“Por el momento” is a wordless solo performance combining visual magic, object manipulation, aerial acrobatics and physical theatre.
Flying cards, disappearing buttons, colour-changing handkerchiefs, transformable balls and travelling hats unfold in a thousand extravagant ways.
A playful, colourful and authentic performance where the power and impact of magic, the tension and thrilling vertigo of acrobatics and juggling come together with the intimacy of physical theatre and clowning. This simple and creative language constantly stimulates the audience’s imagination, inspiring wonder, mystery and laughter in spectators of all ages.
Salle Edmond Dune 3.00 pm
A modern, dynamic and fully interactive show that lights up children’s eyes and surprises adults too.
The Wizard Family performs a series of astonishing, rhythmic and participatory tricks in an atmosphere full of energy and good humour. Children regularly become accomplices in the magic, and sometimes even the parents find themselves drawn into the fun.
Objects vanish before the audience’s eyes… only to reappear in strange and completely unexpected places. At certain moments, thoughts seem to be read, adding a touch of mystery and wonder.
A moment of pure entertainment—lively and captivating—where magic is shared and the impossible becomes possible.

An exhibition to discover the history behind our walls
This exhibition of pictorial and photographic reproductions traces the history of neimënster: from the foundation of the first abbey—now disappeared—of Altmünster in 1083, to the transformation of the site into a Cultural Meeting Centre, inaugurated in 2004. Initially a monastery, then a prison, a military hospital, and later again a correctional facility, the story of neimënster’s walls is closely tied to the history of Luxembourg.
Presented in three sections, the exhibition first explores the site’s early past, then the period as a prison through photographs from the 1970s and 1980s. The final section showcases the architectural spaces of neimënster before and after the restoration work carried out between 1990 and 2004.
Sculptures | Permanent Exhibition10.00 am – 6.00 pmEspace Lucien Wercollier
Stone, bronze, marble, alabaster, glass—Lucien Wercollier’s work is rooted in these diverse materials, which he explored in turn and never abandoned.
A collection to (re)discover in the space dedicated to the sculptor, where the Wercollier family’s private collection has been reinstalled through a specially designed scenography for the venue.
Although Lucien Wercollier’s sculptures are present in numerous public and private collections, both in Luxembourg and abroad (Musée d’Art Moderne, Paris; Israel Museum, Jerusalem; Olympic Museum, Lausanne; Olympic Sculpture Park, Seoul; Palais de l’Europe, Strasbourg…), this permanent exhibition is the only ensemble documenting the life and work of one of the great artists of the 20th century.
Regular guided tours are available—see our website for details.
