Apollo & Flora – Ensemble Temenos

The Ensemble Temenos with Chouchane Siranossian presents a concert dedicated to Jean-Féry Rebel at the Lutheran Church of Geneva. This program delves into the instrumental music of Rebel, a violinist with the King’s 24 Violins and a composer for the Royal Academy of Music, who was both a student and legacy-bearer of Lully. Featured are the Trio Sonata “La Flore”, the solo violin sonatas from Opus 2, and the Sonata No. 7 in C minor “Tombeau de Monsieur de Lully”. The performance highlights the fusion of French dance and Italian influence, celebrating Rebel’s discreet virtuosity and characteristic stylistic harmony.

4 November 2025 – 1 February 2026

Actor Samuel Labarthe turns Nicolas Bouvier’s fever-drenched memoir The Scorpion-Fish into a hypnotic, miniaturist tour de force: marooned in 1950s Ceylon after a headlong road trip from Geneva through the Balkans and Afghanistan, the once-ebullient traveller spirals into tropical delirium, trading human company for buzzing insects, mirage-bright visions and mordant humour that flits between the sublime and the grotesque. Under Catherine Schaub’s finely gauged direction, Labarthe channels both the lush lyricism and the slow-burn torment of this “motionless voyage,” distilling Bouvier’s languid prose into a tactile, rejuvenating elixir that lets the audience feel every bead of sweat, jolt of wonder and sting of isolation.

In French. Ages 12 and up.

18 – 23 November

In Un volcan silencieux, sociologist and director Diane Muller reconnects with ten former classmates from Dijon, all born in 1979. Through open interviews, she explores how gender, class, and societal expectations have shaped their lives — from romantic ideals to motherhood and solitude. On stage, their voices are transmitted live, creating a powerful, intimate portrait of a generation.

Co-produced with the Les Créatives festival, the piece blends sociology and theatre to map the invisible lines of social determinism.

“To Hell with War!” is a satirical parody of “Ubu Roi” by the Studio d’Action Théâtrale, under the direction of Gabriel Alvarez. Drawing inspiration from Jarry, the performance condemns war as a grotesque and tragic charade. Actors portray absurd characters that lay bare the senselessness and brutality of conflict, staging a macabre dance against destructive capitalism.

In French. Ages 15 and up.

Who hasn’t, as a child, woken up in the middle of the night, disoriented, surrounded by mysterious shapes that might be monsters—or maybe friends? “Bachibouzouk”, by the Philippe Saire Company, brings that in-between world to life, blending dance and object theatre in a poetic, twilight performance where imagination takes over once the lights go out.

 

19 – 23 November

Occupations de Séverine Chavrier, création de la Comédie de Genève, explore les nouvelles politiques de l’amour et les tensions du désir féminin. Entre intime et politique, le spectacle interroge la transgression, la passion et les formes contemporaines de résistance féministe à travers un dispositif mêlant ancien et numérique, quotidien et muséification.
