Greek Music Concert

Performances

Led by the five-member ensemble o Mavros Frynos, this one-hour concert journeys through Greece’s musical landscapes, from the frenetic rhythms of the islands to the melancholic songs of the mainland. The programme blends folk and traditional forms into vivid, danceable passages and quieter, song-led moments. Performers Areti Buhler (accordion), Sophie Märki (mandolin), Geraldine Brown (flute, voice), Gabriela Loza (percussion, voice) and Sophie Clio Richard (violin, mandolin, voice) shape textured arrangements that evoke sea air, ritual and longing.

La grande ourse

Performances

POCHE /GVE

Written by Penda Diouf and staged by Evelyne Castellino, LA GRANDE OURSE is an ecofeminist fable that traces a mother’s descent after a minor incident becomes criminalized. Combining video, choreographed movement and choral voices, the piece weaves police violence, racism and sexism into a hallucinatory, dystopian world where omnipresent surveillance watches every gesture. As the heroine reconnects with ancestral nature by transforming into a bear, the production evokes animal survival instinct, collective gossip and the fragile line between humanity and wildness, offering a visceral, poetic reflection on power and resistance.

Poems in Jazz

Performances

Théâtre des Amis

Performed by Françoise Courvoisier (voice), pianist and composer Moncef Genoud, and saxophonist Valentin Conus, this project sets Henri Michaux’s poems against a sensual jazz soundscape. Genoud’s original compositions and borrowed motifs intertwine with Courvoisier’s vocal phrasing and Conus’s supple saxophone, leaving space for improvisation. The piece explores memory, fragility and shifting ground through fragmented text and elastic musical lines, creating an intimate, dreamlike atmosphere where language and music open doors to the imagination.

Festival Histoire et Cité: Magicus and the Sleepwalkers

Performances

Bibliothèque de la Cité

Through the figure of Professor Magicus, this performance reconstructs early 20th-century Geneva: a conjurer who opened a magic shop, founded the first French magic magazine and, in 1925, died on stage during the trick called «Le sac à l’œuf». The narrative blends archives and fairground attractions, recalling 4,924 tricks shared open-source and a city shaped into the cradle of modern magic. Direction, set, costume, lighting and sound design weave nostalgia and unease, oscillating between spectacle and memory.

Le dîner de cocus

Performances

Théâtre de la Madeleine

Conceived by Jacques Gay, this new musical comedy unravels a dinner full of twists where the secret lives of the guests surface by chance. An ensemble cast shifts between comic timing and sudden poignancy, carried by an original score and witty lyrics. The staging trades realism for theatrical invention, with clever scenic shifts, expressive lighting and playful costume moments that heighten social masks and misunderstandings. The result is frothy yet incisive, a night of laughter threaded with unexpected tenderness.
