Written and performed by Akim Omiri and directed by Kaza, Contexte is a razor-sharp solo show that dissects today’s burning social issues with biting humour. Omiri tackles formatted education, cancel culture and conspiracy theories, mixing satire, reflection and liberating laughter to reframe complex debates. The intimate staging prioritises voice and timing, guiding the audience from provocation to insight.

Conducted by Kirsty Griffiths and Hélène Xiao, this choral programme brings together the UN Choir Geneva, the Geneva Chinese Choir and a Shanghai ensemble in a shared exploration of cultural dialogue and musical unity.

The evening frames voices as a bridge between cultures, offering luminous harmonies and moments of intimate resonance as choirs respond to one another across languages and traditions.
Created collectively by the company À l’Ouest with Guillaume Pidancet, this inventive staging reimagines Charles Perrault’s Bluebeard for families. Performed in a mobile truck‑theatre that becomes a ‘suitcase of dreams,’ the production blends playful storytelling, poetic imagery and close‑up interaction to transform a dark tale into a gentle exploration of curiosity and trust. The intimate ensemble features Pierre Boulben, Hugo Braillard and Loubna Raigneau.

Directed by François Marin, this intimate staging examines the fraught passion between Martin Heidegger and Hannah Arendt against the moral upheavals of Nazi Germany. Mario Diament’s text, adapted by André Nerman, traces a forbidden love between a philosopher and his student, probing complicity, memory and the struggle to reconcile heart and conscience. Sabrina Martin and Frank Semelet inhabit the roles with spare, intense performances, supported by a precise, austere mise en scène that foregrounds emotional conflict and ethical ambiguity.

Students present a series of performances showcasing pieces developed during the academic year. The programme includes solo and ensemble works across music, theatre and experimental forms, emphasising collaborative creation, stylistic exploration and stagecraft. Intimate presentations alternate with more elaborate stagings, highlighting movement, sound design and dramaturgy. The series offers a window on emerging talent and the diverse approaches fostered in the teaching environment.
More than simple program announcements, these events are true theatrical “green flashes” — moments of celebration linking the end of one season to the start of the next. For this final edition (note the “s” in “presentation(s)”), director Jean Liermier and a constellation of surprise guests will present a lively retrospective: a collage of excerpts, images, sounds, and behind-the-scenes stories collected over eighteen years (2008–2026). The audience is invited on a playful and spectacular journey into the creative heart of the theatre, to relive its highlights, secrets, and emotions — each evening, of course, concluding with a vibrant round of applause.

Created and performed by Julie Semoroz, this 60-minute immersive listening salon transforms field recordings from around the world into a living sonic ecosystem.

The work, originally composed for the greenhouse of a botanical garden in collaboration with Artasperto and Korsonor, invites attentive contemplation through delicate textures and resonant, moving soundscapes.
