Festival de la Bâtie – The Harvest of Broken Promises

Booking Required

Pankaj Tiwari weaves memory, testimonies and music into The Harvest of Broken Promises, a politically charged performance that questions how agricultural progress reshapes ecosystems and rural life. Combining storytelling, folk song and myth, Tiwari performs a decolonial ecology that foregrounds farmers’ voices and resilient practices. The work blends sensitive dramaturgy with documentary rigor, creating intimate tableaux that move between lament and hope. A 2026 creation supported by the Delegation of Flanders to Geneva.

Ah ! Une brève histoire du cri primordial

Performances

Théâtricul

But what is “reality”?
A forgotten cassette in a tape recorder becomes the key to a journey through time.
Two coworkers, Kurt and Willard, are plunged into the heart of an unprecedented psychiatric experiment where delirium and lucidity intertwine.

They must piece together a puzzle that will lead them to the very edge of madness. “Why are you so angry? …Because all of a sudden I was taking control of something? …Huh? Until now you were used to completely controlling the situation, and now this strangeness has crept into your life…”

In French.

Dialogues des Carmélites – Opéra

Performances

Théâtre le Galpon

Francis Poulenc’s opera stands as a pillar of 20th-century French lyric theatre. This production places students in the demanding solo roles under the musical direction of Emmanuel Olivier, in a staging inspired by Yves Coudray. The story follows a religious community swept up in the turmoil of the French Revolution, exploring fear, faith and the need for redemption. Intimate choral textures, stark dramatic contrast and a restrained yet intense staging aim to immerse listeners in the women’s communal life and moral trials.
