Trio la Versoix

Booking Required

Presented by the Association des Concerts des dimanches, Trio la Versoix brings together William Michel, Juliette Giovacchini and Gabrielle Richardson Vasques. Hailing from different corners of the world, the three string players met on the shores of Lake Geneva, their collaboration mirroring the Versoix river’s flow: a dialogue of fluidity and exchange. The programme juxtaposes Smetana’s Trio in G minor with Paul Schoenfield’s Café Music, weaving Romantic density and contemporary wit into an intimate chamber experience.

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.

Lighting by Claire Firmann, sound by Frédérique Jarabo and costumes by Lys Tell shape intimate scenes that alternate tenderness, duty and strain. The work explores filiation, grief and gratitude with rigorous stagecraft and quiet intensity.
