“Meanders” is a performance by Justine Ruchat that offers a poetic and dreamlike journey through the world, depicted in seven scenes. Utilizing images, words, and an immersive set design, the piece invites a re-enchantment of our perception of life. Audiences, seen as partners in this endeavor, are led on a quest for wonder and reconnection with the essential, blending subtlety and emotion. Inspired by Italo Calvino, the production weaves together visual and sound elements to revive our primal senses, turning each immersion into an act of resistance against modern alienation.
The 28th edition of the Chopin Festival in Geneva invites you to indulge in the tender, passionate, and noble music of Chopin. Exceptional performers and outstanding chamber musicians will bring his masterpieces to life in the city’s concert halls.
Trois mecs au bol is a surreal, offbeat creation by Lorin Kopp, Steven Matthews, and Mirko Verdesca, who also perform on stage. Blending absurd humour, music, and a touch of the grotesque, the show questions what it means to grow up in a world where absurdity has become the new normal. Written “à plat tôt” by three clowns unaware of their own kinship, it’s a three-voiced chant to tame their demons – and perhaps yours, the one that slowly creeps in and gnaws from the inside.

The Sinfonietta Bern Ensemble performs the iconic soundtracks from Hayao Miyazaki’s animated masterpieces, composed by Joe Hisaishi, including pieces from “Howl’s Moving Castle,” “Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind,” “Spirited Away,” and “My Neighbor Totoro.” This show promises a captivating musical journey, filled with emotion and vibrant colors, perfect for a family outing.
Les Gros patinet bien is a wildly inventive comedy featuring just two performers and 150 cardboard boxes. The show follows a plump, Shakespearean-style storyteller who narrates a chaotic European escape tale while remaining seated, and his hyperactive, silent sidekick who acts out the entire journey around him. With roller skates, scooters, planes, and even a mule, the duo creates a hilarious, high-energy performance full of physical comedy, absurdity, and imagination. This clever mix of stillness and motion earned the show the 2022 Molière Prize for Best Public Theatre.
