Quoiqu’il arrive. Respire.

Booking Required

Written by Julie Gilbert and directed by Lou Ciszewski, Quoiqu’il arrive. Respire. follows Joana, shaken after seeing a play about a young activist in which one of her pupils performs. Performed by Margot Le Coultre, the piece questions women’s will and capacity to fight—physically and metaphorically—and how to claim and hold space without being assigned a role. Presented in a portable, ‘portative’ form commissioned by the producing company, the staging favors close-up gestures, raw textures and a quietly collective imagination that unsettles certainties.

In French.

Created by Aurélie Hubeau and Lucie Hanoy, L’IMPOSTURE is a comic and poetic exploration of doubt, self-image and belonging. The piece follows a woman who describes herself as too small, obese, ugly and a tomboy, and recounts how she forged an identity in today’s world. Using objects, clothing and puppets manipulated with inventive choreography, the performance weaves humor, poetry and music — from Patrick Bruel to gospel and karaoke — to celebrate difference and question social norms, delivering warmth and poignancy.

Romanens & Calpini stage a dialogue between spoken word and sculpted electronics. Thierry Romanens’s inhabited texts, drawn from authors he admires, meet Christophe Calpini’s finely wrought soundscapes: electro drums, sung-text fragments and shifting tensions. Created at the Théâtre de l’Échandole, the duo shapes a compact, vibrant concert where precision and raw energy coexist. Lighting and sonic detail carve intimate moments and sudden surges, transporting listeners into a taut, lyrical atmosphere.

Lost love, mistaken identities, and non-stop laughs collide in The Servant of Two Masters, presented by the English language theatre in Geneva. In this fast-paced classic by Carlo Goldoni—adapted by Lee Hall—hungry servant Truffaldino attempts to serve two masters at once, only to unleash a whirlwind of comic chaos. Sharp, physical, and irresistibly funny, this is classic comedy with a contemporary bite.
