Brigade financière

Performances

Théâtre du Crève-Coeur

Brigade financière stages a tense, chamber drama by Hugues Leforestier that confronts the logic of contemporary finance. Under Antony Mettler’s direction, Christian Gregori and Maria Mettral embody a sharp, cerebral duel between a financial crimes commissioner and an accused executive.

Vous avez dit Barbe Bleue ?

Théâtre de Carouge

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.

Les farfadets: ou tous les démons ne sont pas de l’autre monde

Performances

Théâtricul

Are Demons Among Us? Berbiguier de Terre-Neuve du Thym was a French citizen from Avignon who, after having his cards read by a fortune-teller, began to see malevolent beings all around him, whom he called “goblins.” The delusion lasted his entire life. His book on demons is an impressively detailed work, written in a rich literary style and containing utterly bizarre content—both pathetic and unintentionally comical.

It constitutes the most complete account of the inner world of a man gripped by profound madness. It was rediscovered in the following century by the Surrealists, notably Raymond Queneau, as well as by enthusiasts of outsider art. The performance will be a montage of the very words of this famous “literary madman” and will offer the audience a journey into the labyrinth of his thoughts.

Fiona G. – Trauma & Chill

Performances

Caustic Comedy Club

Fiona G. brings a razor-sharp solo hour of dark, observational stand-up that mixes Swiss deadpan with Parisian stage instincts. Fluent in several languages and armed with a precise sarcasm, she navigates subjects from everyday rituals to taboo topics with a playful cruelty and agile improvisation. The piece is a work-in-progress that plays with ego, irony and timing, offering unpredictable moments that pivot between biting malice and sudden tenderness.

Homage to Egberto Gismonti

Performances

Salle des Fêtes de Troinex

Three internationally acclaimed artists unite for a rare program devoted to the music of Brazilian composer Egberto Gismonti: Mario Forte (violin), Dimitar Ivanov (ten‑string guitar) and Mihail Ivanov (double bass). The programme navigates Gismonti’s blend of Brazilian folklore, classical counterpoint and jazz improvisation, emphasising intricate textures, daring harmonies and virtuosic technique. Dimitar’s ten‑string approach, rooted in piano‑like textures, dialogues with Forte’s lyrical violin and Mihail’s resonant bass, shifting between scored structures and spontaneous interplay. Gismonti himself praised the project’s intimacy and mastery.
