Smoky — Rap & Beats Live

Booking Required

Max, known as Smoky, channels a lifetime rooted in rhythm into a compact, dynamic rap performance. A drummer since age six and a sound engineering student, he blends percussive precision with varied flows, sensitive yet incisive lyrics and haunting melodies. His hybrid rap and hip-hop approach favors intimate vocal moments and propulsive beats, shaped in collaboration with the On Stage program of the EJMA Live Foundation. The result is a charged, tactile set that balances raw energy and nuanced storytelling.

Un petit meurtre sans conséquence

Performances

Théâtre des Grottes

Un petit meurtre sans conséquence examines the corrosive dynamics of a partnership through savage wit and dark comic timing. This staging sharpens the play’s satire, exposing the small betrayals and escalating cowardice that undercut intimacy. Sparse sets and stark lighting heighten the moral claustrophobia, while conversational dialogue pivots between warmth and menace. The result is a tense, mordant portrait of complicity and self-preservation, balancing laughter with a chill of recognition.

1+1 = 2

Performances

Les Caves Versoix

An improvisational duet by Carlos Henriquez and Fausto Borghini, this show turns audience suggestions (time periods, words, places and emotions) into instant scenes. With the single rule of never saying no, the duo launches into a sequence of short, varied, fast-paced vignettes that blend comedy, surprise and emotional truth. The performance relies on the performers’ keen listening, rapid chemistry and playful risk-taking, creating an electric, intimate atmosphere where unpredictability becomes the engine of storytelling.

Carlotta Bulgarelli, harpist, offers an intimate midday recital featuring baroque sonatas and lyrical transcriptions. Her refined technique and warm tone bring out the contrapuntal clarity of D.

Le repas des fauves

Performances

École des Ranches

About the play
1942. France is under occupation. Seven friends gather to celebrate Sophie’s birthday—until two German officers are shot beneath their windows. Kaubach, a Nazi commander, forces the guests to make an unthinkable choice: to designate two hostages among themselves.
Thus begins a harrowing struggle for survival. By confronting the depths of human nature, the play invites us to question which side we would have chosen.

Dr Jekyll and Lady Hyde

Performances

Théâtre Cæcilia

Based on the Jekyll myth, this theatrical adaptation examines metamorphosis as both physical and social, probing identity, gender and the boundary between good and male/female. Stark black-and-white staging and chiaroscuro lighting evoke twilight and old horror films, while a persistent, slicing fog thickens the atmosphere. The venerable Dr Jekyll’s unsettling experiments unfold in a late-19th-century London laboratory, and his circle is drawn into mounting anguish as transformations accelerate.
