Booking Required

Swiss pianist Moncef Genoud and tenor saxophonist Seamus Blake form a rare, magnetic duo that unfolds in an intense, free-flowing musical dialogue. Their interplay balances lyrical sensitivity and rhythmic drive, with Blake’s tonal palette (echoes of Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, Gonzalo Rubalcaba) inspiring Genoud’s responsive pianism. The program privileges spontaneous exchange, open improvisation and vivid timbral colors, where each phrase feels like a conversation and breath becomes momentum, creating a luminous, immersive jazz experience.

Le Tartuffe

Performances

Théâtre de Carouge

Molière’s Tartuffe tells the story of a slick con-man who hides behind ostentatious piety to worm his way into the wealthy Orgon household. Orgon, dazzled by Tartuffe’s sanctimonious rhetoric, defends him even as the impostor’s hypocrisy poisons family bonds and pushes the household toward ruin.

Director Jean Liermier underscores how, in Molière’s work, the female characters serve as the moral compass and spark of resistance, a beacon of hope against oppression. Staged on a stark, minimalist set that exposes the family’s rigid tensions—and featuring Gilles Privat as an unbending Orgon—this production highlights the play’s continuing resonance in a world beset by egotism, fanaticism, and conspiracy thinking. The central question remains timeless: will society keep falling for Tartuffe’s brand of seductive deceit?

In French. Ages 12 and up.

Voix de Fête Festival: Ooralise, Le Talu & Louv

Performances

Salle communale de Plainpalais

Genevan-based Ooralise, Brussels’s Le Talu (with producer maïa blondeau), and Louv (with Geneva beatmaker Dyd) converge in a night of contemporary French-language rap. Ooralise pairs incisive lyrics and varied flows with an intimate resistance; Le Talu mixes digital rap, post‑trip‑hop and glitchy ASMR into raw, ritualistic performances; Louv blends classical textures, rap pulses and storytelling with feminist and queer urgency. Together they create a charged, sweaty atmosphere where vulnerability and defiance meet.
