Experience Alain Roche live on December 6th

Alain Roche will perform at Théâtre du Passage in Neuchâtel, Switzerland on December 6, 2026. Roche is a Swiss musician known for his work in improvised music and free jazz, often incorporating elements of noise and extended techniques on the electric guitar. His compositions frequently explore textural soundscapes and spontaneous interaction with other musicians, moving away from traditional harmonic structures. He has collaborated extensively with artists across various disciplines, including visual arts and dance.

Théâtre du Passage is a performance space in Neuchâtel dedicated to contemporary performing arts. Established in 1986, it occupies a former industrial building – specifically, a passage connecting two streets – retaining much of its original architectural character. The theatre focuses on supporting emerging artists and presenting innovative work in theatre, dance, music, and performance art. It’s recognized as a regional center for artistic creation and experimentation, fostering interdisciplinary projects and offering residency programs for artists. The venue's intimate setting allows for close audience engagement with performances. It is supported by the City of Neuchâtel and the Canton of Neuchâtel.
