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.
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.

Combining the sharp words of Lou Lepori, the music of Marc Berman, and the performance of Cédric Leproust, this fiery recital challenges conventions and unspoken norms. This queer show, driven by tumultuous and subversive expression, celebrates a body that rejects imposed normality.

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. Repertoire ranges from liturgical and traditional songs to contemporary choral arrangements, emphasising blend, timbre and communal singing. 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 and performed by Julie Semoroz, this 60-minute immersive listening salon transforms field recordings from around the world into a living sonic ecosystem. Layers of animal calls, wind and subtle vibrations weave with live interventions to blur the boundary between human and non-human listeners. 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.
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.

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.
