Directed as a bold reimagining of Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill’s classic, this production plunges into the gritty, satirical world of urban crime and commerce. A sharply choreographed ensemble and live band navigate moments of cabaret, street theatre and haunting lyricism. Sparse sets, inventive lighting and taut pacing foreground moral ambiguity and social critique, while performances balance wit and menace to create an electric, theatrical atmosphere.
Arcadi Volodos will be performing a piano recital as part of the series “Les Grands Interprètes.” The program features works by Bach/Feinberg and Chopin, including mazurkas, nocturnes, and the Polonaise-Fantaisie op. 61.
TRIIT gathers improvisers from Geneva, Vaud, Valais, Neuchâtel and Fribourg in a spirited inter-cantonal tournament of theatrical improvisation. The second edition foregrounds quicksilver wit, ensemble listening and bold character work as teams respond to spontaneous prompts.

The atmosphere is competitive yet communal, a celebration of linguistic agility and shared theatrical invention.

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.

Gli Angeli Genève will perform Gluck’s “Orfeo ed Euridice” in concert format at the Haydn-Mozart Festival. Under the baton of Stephan MacLeod and featuring Sophie Junker, Marie Perbost, and Iestyn Davies, this opera signals a departure from traditional opera seria with its mythological narrative and emphasis on the chorus and ballet. The concert-style performances, devoid of sets and costumes, heighten the dramatic intensity, promising unforgettable evenings.
What if bagpipes, binious, and bombardes were the perfect instruments to perform Philip Glass’s music? This bold and fascinating show takes that daring leap.
With 8 SONNEURS for Philip Glass, the iconic repertoire of the pioneering American minimalist composer gains a fresh dimension: four emblematic pieces from 1969 (Two Pages, Music in Fifths, Music in Contrary Motion, Music in Similar Motion) are reimagined by traditional Breton musicians.
The result? A striking sonic alchemy where rich timbres, the continuous drone of the bagpipes, and spatial sound transform the listening experience. Glass’s music becomes living, vibrant, almost hypnotic — proving that his spirit resonates just as powerfully through the drone of traditional instruments as through synthesizers.
Directed as an in situ promenade, this performance follows two protagonists, P. and B., through the city’s hidden seams. B. conspires to seed an exuberant vegetal uprising, mastering invasive plants to unsettle urban order. P. slips into the city’s blind spots, picking locks and slipping through barriers to reveal alternative ways of inhabiting public space. The show mixes physical theatre, poetic staging and ecological imagination to explore rewilding, intimacy and civic subversion.
