Forces — Diptych of Dance

Booking Required

Choreographed by Aszure Barton and Sharon Eyal and danced by the Ballet du Grand Théâtre de Genève, Forces assembles two contrasting works: BUSK and Strong. The evening probes the tension between collective momentum and individual assertion through precise physicality, sculptural group formations and charged athleticism. Lighting and staging carve intimate and monumental spaces, while the company alternates between rigorously synchronized ensembles and moments of raw personal presence, offering a powerful study of power, identity and shared movement.

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.

In French.

9 – 16 October

Music and songs by Stephen Sondheim with a libretto by George Furth and a French translation by Stéphane Laporte. This intimate, razor-sharp musical follows Robert (Bobby), a charming New Yorker confronting bachelorhood, friendship and the compromises of coupledom. The production blends incisive lyrics, lively choreography and a close ensemble cast to reveal joyful neuroses, hidden desires and fragile bonds. The staging alternates warmth and irony, inviting reflection on love, loneliness and the elusive art of staying together.

Sung in English; dialogues in French.

Performed by actress Carole Epiney and classical guitarist Carl Alex, this poetic reading traces the night as an intimate, mysterious landscape. Selections from Emily Brontë, Rainer Maria Rilke, Charles Baudelaire, Alphonse de Lamartine and Renée Vivien unfold between spoken word and guitar, alternating melancholy, contemplation and quiet longing. Brief newly written fragments weave the poems into a continuous arc, while the pared-back musical accompaniment envelops the voice in a soft, reflective atmosphere.

The programme highlights themes of resilience, hope and unity, delivered with intimate staging and a focus on vocal expression.

8 – 10 October

Directed by Gabriel Álvarez, Le Repas revives two flagship pieces from his company’s repertoire for the 40th anniversary of Studio d’Action Théâtrale and pays homage to playwright Valère Novarina. A cosmogonic feast staged with the audience at table, the performance devours the world through ritual, poetry and corporeal presence. It examines human voracity, collective memory and the fate of what we ingest, offering a sensorial, intimate and occasionally brutal theatrical journey.

With an authentic, melancholic yet luminous voice, Dinaa transforms personal stories into songs. As singer-songwriter and composer she spent two years on the road alone with her guitar, giving more than a hundred concerts and sharing stages with renowned artists. Her debut album, Maison Vide, blends pop-rock, blues-soul and hip-hop–infused lyricism to map a raw emotional territory, singing of love, fractures and inner struggles with sincerity and restrained power.
