Les Racines du Ciel

Performances

Free, Booking Required

Presented as a season manifesto, Les Racines du Ciel is a reflective text by Eric Devanthéry that probes the weight of words and collective imaginaries in an accelerated history. It frames the stage as both bulwark and site of shared, engaged human experience, calling to preserve margins against logics of productivity and control. The essay evokes the season’s diverse pieces — from À l’aune to Orlando — and insists on culture as necessity. A transcription and a SoundCloud excerpt accompany the text.

Ceramic Circus

Performances

La Comédie de Genève

Created and performed by Julian Vogel and written and staged by Roman Müller and Julian Vogel, Ceramic Circus is a solo circus piece conceived like a musical composition. On a circular stage Vogel pedals and skates around a swinging ceramic sphere, layering the crash of plates, drum rolls and rhythmic loops. The staging balances virtuosity and fragility, where feats and deliberate clumsiness create a tense, poetic atmosphere.

Dr Jekyll and Lady Hyde

Performances

Scène 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.

28 April – 13 May

Hé, Prométhée !

Performances

Théâtre du Grütli

A solitary man ventures through the desert in search of Prometheus, blaming the gods for igniting a consuming fire within each human. This monologue delves into the connections between ancient tragedy and contemporary turmoil, examining desire and existence through the lenses of love and creation, all in pursuit of an illuminating fire that does not consume.
