Vous avez dit Barbe Bleue ?

Performances
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.

Coolturalia - Félix Ringaby

Félix Ringaby

Performances
Caustic Comedy Club

Félix Ringaby, 22, is the new standout of Romandy stand-up. Laconic yet razor-sharp, he returns after a season of writing and testing with his first solo hour in development. With a rare gift for structuring jokes, he mines the ironies of daily life through self-mockery, delivering bursts of conflicting thoughts with surgical timing. Already a Radio Télévision Suisse contributor and finalist at Montreux Comedy and Morges-sous-Rire, he was named “Nouveau Visage” for Juste pour Rire in Montréal and Québec.

In French.

Trois versions de la vie

Performances
Théâtre des Amis

Directed by Claude Vuillemin, Yasmina Reza’s Trois versions de la vie assembles four performers, Laurent Deshusses, Marie Druc, Sophie Lukasik and Nicolas Rossier, in a taut, virtuosic staging. Lighting by Rinaldo Del Boca and costumes by Sylvie Lépine shape shifting domestic realities as the play probes how social veneer fractures intimate relationships. This production by Les Amis – Le Chariot demands precision and emotional nuance from its cast.

Season presentation(s)

Performances
Théâtre de Carouge

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.

In French.
