Casimir Liberski & Yoshida Tatsuya

Performances

AMR

Casimir Liberski (piano) and Yoshida Tatsuya (drums) forge volatile, ever-shifting soundscapes that move between explosive improvisation, progressive punk energy and electroacoustic experimentation. After touring Japan in 2024 with guests such as Otomo Yoshihide and Akira Sakata, the duo unveils material from their new album Harmolodic Tamagotchi, recorded live across Japan. Performances alternate dense, percussive textures and lyrical pianistic passages, creating an unpredictable, visceral listening experience that balances tension and playful abandon.

Sur l’autre rive

Performances

La Comédie de Genève

Directed by Cyril Teste, this restless adaptation of Anton Chekhov’s Platonov concentrates the action into a single, simmering night. Teste blends cinema and theatre, letting the camera trace fragments of conversations, music and the shifting paths of desire and solitude. Around the melancholy misanthrope Micha, an ensemble confronts money, regret and incomprehension as frustrations and longings are amplified by summer heat and drink. The staging is at once filmic and theatrical, precise and emotionally porous.

Staro — Rap-rock

Performances

Les Caves Versoix

Staro slips, sneaks and interferes between genres, inhabiting a liminal space between rap and rock. His French-language, finely crafted and punchy lyrics draw listeners into an intimate, turbulent universe where melancholy dances with the fury of living. On stage he alternates restrained phrasing and explosive outbursts, shaping a raw, urgent sound that balances poetic precision with visceral energy. The performance feels both confessional and confrontational, leaving a lingering emotional charge.

The Scorpion-Fish

Performances

Théâtre de Carouge

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.

Canicule

Performances

Théâtre des Amis

Directed by Bastien Blanchard, CANICULE is a first play that turns a scorching domestic scene into a comedic yet unsettling probe of consumerist happiness. Actors Nadim Ahmed, Estelle Benaïch, Danae Dario and Angelo Dell’Aquila shift between light banter and mounting unease as a repairman exposes fissures in a marriage. Cornélius Spaeter’s scenography, Marc Heinmendinger’s lighting and Ljubica Markovic’s costumes frame moments of heat, claustrophobia and ironic intimacy, touching on climate change and overconsumption with dry wit and emotional precision.

Judith

Performances

Théâtre le Galpon

The play “Judith,” elevated by masterful language, delves into the depths of desire through an intriguing and intimate setting. Directed by Gabriel Alvarez and featuring Clara Brancorsini, Justine Ruchat, and Soufiane Guerraoui, the performance presents a gripping duel between Judith, a young widow, and Holopherne, an enemy general. This battle, where territorial stakes interweave with personal desires, examines the boundaries between ideology and bodily impulses, in a confrontation where words both soothe and sting.
