Performed and choreographed by Eugénie Rebetez, COMEBACK is a solo exploration of artistic, female and maternal identity.

The work moves between introspection and humour, intertwining contemporary dance and stand-up rhythms to question the artist’s status. Co-produced by Tanzhaus Zürich, Casino Théâtre de Rolle, Théâtre Boulimie and LE POCHE, it offers an intimate, unsettling and hilarious journey.

21 April – 10 May

Chekhov’s Ivanov follows Nikolai Ivanov, a middling Russian landowner crushed by debt and by the slow decline of his wife, Anna Petrovna, who is dying of tuberculosis. Across four acts, his inertia curdles into melancholy and self-destruction, swinging between biting comedy and harrowing despair. Written in a ten-day burst in 1887, when Chekhov was only twenty-seven, the play crackles with youthful urgency as tragedy and humor intertwine.

Director–actor Jean-François Sivadier infuses this new staging with his distinctive theatrical energy, pairing veteran performers with fresh faces to reignite the play’s original heat. Echoing Gustav Mahler’s dictum that “tradition is not the worship of ashes, but the preservation of fire,” the production seeks to keep Chekhov’s raw, combustible spirit blazing on today’s stage.

Alice Laloy crafts a dystopian world where two champions compete using mechanical avatars in challenges inspired by everyday life. Blending video games, visual arts, circus, and puppetry, the show features virtuoso performers—acrobats, singers, contortionists, and dancers—who captivate and unsettle the audience. The work questions contemporary power dynamics and our capacity for revolt and change.

The programme celebrates long friendships and collective listening, inviting close attention to timbral detail, dynamic shifts and the intimate generosity of shared musical dialogue.

Marking its 20th anniversary, Fête de la Danse transforms the city into a stage, presenting almost forty professional shows, community showcases and dozens of introductory classes. The program moves between poetic promenade pieces and exuberant street choreographies, including a river parade following the Rhône and waterfront performances that marry movement and public space. Community projects — like the flash‑mob Lovons‑nous joyeusement! in partnership with Cité Seniors — foreground participation, conviviality and accessibility, celebrating dance in its many forms.

About the play
1942. France is under occupation. Seven friends gather to celebrate Sophie’s birthday—until two German officers are shot beneath their windows. Kaubach, a Nazi commander, forces the guests to make an unthinkable choice: to designate two hostages among themselves.
Thus begins a harrowing struggle for survival. By confronting the depths of human nature, the play invites us to question which side we would have chosen.
