Balades Théâtralisées – From One Shore to the Other

Balades Théâtralisées invites audiences on an outdoor theatrical promenade that uncovers hidden city histories through staged scenes in natural settings. The troupe blends guided narration with short dramatic tableaux, favouring emotional resonance over strict historical reenactment. Soundscapes and simple lighting sculpt nocturnal and intimate atmospheres, while performers shift between storytelling and embodiment. The route alternates between the company’s traditional itinerary and a new underground-themed walk, creating a layered experience of memory, surprise and communal discovery.

31 October – 15 November

At the crossroads of theatre, mixed reality and technological installation, this immersive performance invites audiences to test the machine built by a scientist to tackle existential problems. Wearing mixed-reality headsets, spectators collectively explore the chaotic inner world of a person trapped by indecision. The experience moves between human vulnerability and artificial intelligence, until the machine itself begins to falter in the face of what it cannot fully understand.

4 – 8 November

Improoo is a festival of long-form improvisation that lets stories breathe and unfold in real time. Performances range from half-hour episodes to hour-long narratives and beyond, driven by a tight ensemble of improvisers who build sustained dramatic arcs, shifting tones and unexpected emotional turns. The creative approach privileges listening, risk and theatrical economy, offering immersive, spontaneous storytelling rooted in theatrical craft and collective play.

7 – 8 November

Choreographed and performed by Olga de Soto, Paper Lane is a durational solo that stages resistance to digital acceleration and the saturation of high‑tech noise. Drawing on Hartmut Rosa’s reflections on alienation and acceleration and on visual artist Sophie Whettnall’s practices, the piece unfolds as a single, dilated gesture: continuously tearing a long surface. The slow, relentless action sculpts space and time, becoming ritual, endurance and meditation, inviting concentrated attention through pared‑down physicality.

Sunday 8 November, 19:30

Flutist Emmanuel Pahud and pianist Eric Le Sage present a programme of classical and romantic gems by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Clara Schumann and Robert Schumann. Pahud’s own adaptations for flute and piano bring a fresh intimacy to the music, highlighting lyrical phrasing and subtle chamber dialogue. The recital balances clarity of line with warm, expressive colours, offering a contemplative and richly textured listening experience focused on nuanced interaction between soloist and piano.

Sunday 8 November, 21:00

This concert brings together two experimental, noise-driven projects. Kutin & Nerve, a collaboration spanning Austria and Hong Kong, shape corrosive DIY electronics through light, feedback, infrasonic bass, fractured beats and radical live manipulation. Their sound moves between physical rumble and unstable, finely cut rhythms. Swiss artist Strotter Inst. works with turntables and manipulated electronics, building dense sonic structures. His new album, “WEHRBAUER,” draws inspiration from open spaces and no-man’s lands, extending the evening’s exploration of sound as material and environment.

6 – 13 November

Presented in partnership with the Institut National Genevois, this closing concert brings together prizewinners of the Geneva Competition: violist Brian Isaacs and the Quatuor Elmire. The programme centres on Beethoven’s Quintet alongside two contrasting works, offering intimate chamber music textures. The performers favour clarity of line and heated interplay, shaping a narrative of tenderness and tension. Lighting and staging are understated, focusing attention on timbral richness and communicative ensemble playing to create a luminous, emotionally precise evening.
