Hé, Prométhée !

Performances

Théâtre du Grütli

A solitary man ventures through the desert in search of Prometheus, blaming the gods for igniting a consuming fire within each human. This monologue delves into the connections between ancient tragedy and contemporary turmoil, examining desire and existence through the lenses of love and creation, all in pursuit of an illuminating fire that does not consume.

Room 0: The Director’s Confessions

Performances

Théâtre des Grottes

Spiritist, improvisatory theatre that unfolds like a forbidden confession. In a bare room lit by pale light, a former asylum director faces the camera and speaks in a voice at once calm and unnerving. Memory, guilt and hallucination interlace as fragments of institutional history—erased files, unclaimed patients—resurface and unmake narrative coherence. The staging relies on sparse set and stark lighting to heighten claustrophobic intimacy, inviting a slow, disquieting immersion in the uncanny.

Ivanov

Performances

Théâtre de Carouge

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.

In French. Ages 16 and up.

Lapin Lapin

Performances

Théâtre Alchimic

Lapin Lapin is a compassionate comedy that follows a large, eccentric family living in extreme poverty. Directed by Sarah Marcuse, the staging centers on Mama Lapin’s courage and optimism. Through rocambolesque episodes, the piece blends sharp social critique with warm humour and resilient affection. Khaled Khoury’s scenography and Loane Ruga’s lighting shape an intimate, expressive world, while an ensemble cast delivers vivid, tender performances.

Performances

POCHE /GVE

Performed and choreographed by Eugénie Rebetez, COMEBACK is a solo exploration of artistic, female and maternal identity. On stage she shifts through extravagant costumes and a blend of choreography, song and gesture, crafting scenic images that are both poetic and comic. The work moves between introspection and humour, intertwining contemporary dance and stand-up rhythms to question the artist’s status.
