8 October – 14 November

Told as a solo performance, this piece follows a woman as she remembers the films that shaped her life and blurs the line between cinema and memory. Through references to science-fiction sagas and cinematic archetypes — the woman-soldier, the survivor, the reluctant mother — the show probes identity, fear of change and the ways stories migrate from screen to skin. Sparse staging and intimate narration create a haunting, introspective atmosphere.

Focus Jeune Création brings together a new generation of Romand artists over two weeks, presenting five bold and hybrid performances that blur theatre, performance and live art.

Accompanying meetings and discussions extend the works and open insight into creative processes.

Lighting and staging are understated, focusing attention on timbral richness and communicative ensemble playing to create a luminous, emotionally precise evening.

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.
