Le Filip brings a solo show that blends cabaret intimacy with bold camp, performed by the winner of Drag Race France season 3. Born in Zagreb and raised in France, she combines elegant drag, corrosive wit and candid confessions to lead audiences through nocturnal reveries. Through numbers and monologues the performance shifts between glamour, self-mockery and poignant moments, delivering a show that is funny, sharp and deeply human.

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.
For its 500th anniversary, the Grand Council is transforming this seat of power in the Old Town into a stage open to the public. Heritage becomes the medium for a narrative that connects the city’s past to its present. Through a visual and sound-based creation, this event offers a new way to discover the history of Geneva’s institutions.
Directed by Marie-José Malis, Retour au pays revisits Hugo von Hofmannsthal’s letters through a spare, lucid staging. Performers Alexandra Tiedemann and Juan Crespillo inhabit the returning merchant’s disorientation, while Aurélia Ansermet provides live music and sound. Bernard Héritier’s scenography and Jessy Ducatillon’s lighting shape moments of visual surprise, most poignantly a Van Gogh encounter that restores belief in the world. The piece refuses facile answers, offering theatrical lucidity and an austere emotional clarity.

Lara Fabian celebrates a rare vocal and emotional range across a career spanning 35 years, with over 25 million albums sold. On the Je suis là tour she reinvents three decades of signature songs in unexpected arrangements, blending intimate piano-led passages with sweeping band climaxes. Accompanied by eleven musicians and the Yaacov brothers as musical directors, the performance alternates tender, candid moments and powerful, cinematic crescendos that highlight her interpretive depth and stage presence.
Assembled at the initiative of Vincent Ruiz and Nicolas Masson, this newly formed quartet offers an open, democratic interpretation of recent compositions by Nicolas Masson. The project blends composed material and responsive improvisation, allowing structures to emerge and be shaped in real time. The ensemble—Nicolas Masson (saxophone), Théo Duboule (guitar), Vincent Ruiz (double bass) and Nathan Vandenbulcke (drums)—explores textural interplay, collective listening and the elasticity of form in contemporary chamber jazz.
FURTHER AFIELD
An award-winning comedy by Wole Soyinka, this staging follows Sidi, the village ‘jewel’, as she becomes the centre of a satirical clash between tradition and modernity. Director Yvette Stevens shapes a vibrant production that blends storytelling, music and dance, yoking sharp humour to ritual and spectacle. The opposing suitors—Lakunle, a westernised schoolteacher, and the wily chief Baroka—embody cultural tensions that the ensemble explores through lively choreography and precise comic timing.
