Chiara Bersani — Sottobosco

Performances

Pavillon ADC

Choreographer Chiara Bersani invites the audience into the undergrowth of an imagined forest, performed in duo with dancer Elena Sgarbossa and a group of workshop participants. The piece stages bodies limited by disability to probe movement, survival and collective care. Inspired by confinement and the inequalities revealed by the pandemic, it turns the stage into an ecosystem — a vibrating floor, layered soundscape and a shared spatial attention — where small gestures, bodily memory and vulnerability become transformative forces and the basis for a newly imagined community.

Double nationalité

Performances

La Comédie de Genève

Directed by Joël Maillard and adapted from Nina Yargekov’s novel, Double nationalité is a choral theatrical investigation into identity and its contradictions. Four actresses — Cécile Goussard, Mélina Martin, Alicia Packer and Marie Ripoll — embody a single heroine and the chorus of her inner thoughts, navigating bilingual disorientation, memory and fantasy. Mélissa Rouvinet’s scenography, Antoine Françoise’s music and Édouard Hügli’s lighting create a dreamlike, often sharp atmosphere. Production by Cie SNAUT; costumes by Coralie Chauvin and sound by Cédric Simon.

In French.

In early January 2022, two construction vehicles belonging to a Swiss multinational were set on fire at a gravel pit in the Geneva countryside.

Kevin

Performances

Théâtre le douze dix-huit

The company Chantal et Bernadette explores, with both naïveté and documentary precision, the foundations and challenges of the education system through the story of Kévin, who feels let down by it. By merging scientific inquiry with theatrical expression, they engage the audience’s critical thinking. This production is a collaborative creation by Arnaud Hoedt, Jérôme Piron, Antoine Defoort, and Clément Thirion, developed in close partnership with researchers, with special attention to set design and technical aspects.
