La Panne

Booking Required

Conceived and performed by Alexandre Pateau, La Panne transforms Dürrenmatt’s black comedy into a gastrotheatrical solo that turns a dinner table into a tribunal. Pateau inhabits every role, blending sharp comic timing with moral unease as three former lawyers re‑try history’s great cases over a feast. Sound designer Clément Rousseaux and props designer Nicola Sartorio shape a tactile, immersive stage world. The piece oscillates between farce and cruelty, probing justice, guilt and complicity in intimate, sensory detail.

Ghost*choir stages a hybrid live set where immersive video projections merge with live music. The project brings together Chaos Clay and Son Archipel Sonore in a ritual-like closing of the exhibition curated by Ghalas Charara and Rita Elhajj. The performance blurs genres — from house rhythms to filmic fragments and spoken-text samples — forming a living archive of recordings, images and sampled materials. The atmosphere alternates between hypnotic groove and cinematic dissonance, inviting collective listening and reflection.

On a triple bill by the Ballet Junior de Genève, three new works unfold: Yuval Pick’s Revoada, Émilie Leriche’s sad game and Sharon Eyal & Gai Behar’s Untitled Black.

Pick teases singularity through vibrant movement, Leriche propels the dancers into precise, breathless lyricism, and Eyal/Behar impose a hypnotic, technically demanding finale. The evening is charged, communal and viscerally alive.
