Written by Aïda Asgharzadeh and directed by Nikola Carton, Le Dernier Cèdre du Liban traces Eva’s search for identity through the discovery of her mother’s wartime audio recordings. The intimate drama, performed by three committed actors, juxtaposes personal memory and collective history with a spare, minimalist set and a subtle play of light that transports the audience across time and place. The piece moves without melodrama, balancing tenderness and shock.

Directed by Michele Millner and devised collectively by Théâtre Spirale’s Atelier 1, Three Queens examines feminine violence and power through fragments of Macbeth, The Seagull, The Caucasian Chalk Circle and new texts by participants. The production gathers actors in raw, tactile staging, with musical composition by Mael Godinat and Yves Cerf, movement by Jeanne Pasquier, collaboration and performance by Marie Bondolfi, costumes by Julie Delieutraz and technical work by Jules Bovard. The piece is intimate, political and unsettling, mixing classical echoes and contemporary voices.

Jeremy Ratib performs material from his album Backlot Country, a hazy window onto an adolescence in Los Angeles where Halloween spectres, bushfires that redden Pacific sunsets and empty pools echo post‑Y2K nostalgia amid kickflip cadences. Rooted in folk songwriting, the music unfolds as homemade psychedelic country‑rock emo, intimate and evocative. Ratib is joined by Valentin Liechti (drums, vocals), Robin Girod (bass, guitar, vocals), Flavie Ndam (saxophone, vocals), Lorraine Dinkel (guitar, vocals) and Lucas Churet (sound).
Two retired clowns revisit moments from their lives with mischievous tenderness and a sharp, critical eye. The piece unfolds as a series of rapid transformations—each reinvention arriving every three minutes—blending physical comedy, memory and gentle satire. The performers invite laughter through self-mockery and shared recognition, balancing fragility and spirited resilience. Staging privileges rhythm and gesture, creating a warm, bittersweet atmosphere that observes the world through playful yet clear‑eyed humour.

The Apéro Concert d’Été offers a relaxed and convivial musical experience that blends live performance with the spirit of Geneva’s summer evenings. Bringing together audiences in an intimate and festive atmosphere, the event combines quality music, cultural discovery, and social exchange around an open-air apéritif setting. Designed as a moment of encounter and celebration, it highlights local artistic talent while creating a warm and accessible space where music, conversation, and seasonal conviviality come together naturally.
This performance investigates vocal plasticity, improvisation, and emotional communication, frequently in collaboration with museums and contemporary art spaces. Combining musical and choreographic improvisation, it questions the dominant frameworks and hierarchies embedded in language.
Douglas Vanille is an intergalactic DJ performance merging live indie dance rhythms with dark disco textures. After fleeing the destruction of his home planet Kiwi32, the solitary DJ pilots a tiny vessel while pursued and battered by cosmic hazards. On stage the audience becomes his crew and the room a cockpit, guided by propulsive grooves and luminous sound design. Accompanied by his robotic companion K‑R4MEL, the show invites sustained movement and nocturnal reverie.
