The Katch Impro Festival (KIF) is a summer festival of theatrical improvisation whose first edition took place in August 2023. It took place at the collegiate church over four Thursdays. The event brings together the best improvisers in the Neuchâtel region. Each evening, illustrious referees from all over French-speaking Switzerland kept order on stage to decide between the two teams. Taking place at the legendary Collégiale, this open-air festival features a weekly “katch improv”, a dynamic and spectacular format.
Project Requirements
The Kif committee commissioned Alexis Manzon and Valerio to compose 4 entries and a jingle. Each team was linked to an element (waterfall, flame, rock and gust) and each entry had to inspire the element of the team in question. In addition, the composers were asked to compose a jingle containing a recognizable “gimmick” to become the festival’s “sound brand”. So they pooled their knowledge to produce these 4 entries and the Festival jingle.
