Gli Angeli Genève presents the final instalment of their complete Cantatas cycle, led by bass and conductor Stephan MacLeod. The programme juxtaposes cantatas BWV 109, 134 and 187 with the motet Komm, Jesu, komm (BWV 229), performed by soloists Aleksandra Lewandowska, Alex Potter and Thomas Hobbs. The interpretation favours intimate chamber textures and expressive clarity, exploring Bach’s reflections on faith and a spirituality that transcends liturgical boundaries.
Piano Festival Geneva 2026 brings together acclaimed pianists and emerging talents for a celebration of the piano’s rich repertoire, from classical masterpieces to contemporary works. Held at Geneva’s iconic venues, the festival features solo recitals, concertos, and special performances in an intimate and inspiring musical
Choreographed by Christos Papadopoulos, My Fierce Ignorant Step gathers ten bodies whose mounting breath becomes the show’s engine. The piece translates performers’ respiration into kinetic waves and layered soundscapes, dialoguing with the contemporary music of Mikis Theodorakis. Drawing on the choral pulse of ancient tragedy, the work collapses collective Hellenic memory into intimate reveries — the impulse of beginnings, the buoyancy of first encounters and the spontaneous spark of early laughter. The staging is physical, precise and visceral.
Anitya — L’Impermanence is a participatory solo circus performance by acrobat Inbal Ben Haim. Set among a web of taut, intertwined ropes, the piece explores impermanence, letting go and collective reconstruction. Ben Haim’s mastery of the corde lisse produces striking visual tableaux, blending physical virtuosity with intimate audience interaction as spectators are invited to untangle and lift the performer. The work is atmospheric and sculptural, balancing tension, release and quiet resilience.
Samar Haddad King’s Shabaab blends dance, theatre and puppetry to trace the intimate bond between two Palestinian friends, Mohamed and Mahmoud. Through movement, dialogue and a haunting puppet by Sipho Ngxola, the piece reconstructs memories, imagined futures and the silences carved by colonial violence. The choreography explores youth, tenderness and forms of resistance, creating a fragile space where friendship becomes a means of survival and poetic witness.
In English and Arabic with French surtitles.
Scène Vagabonde’s seventh edition brings a compact program of contemporary theatre and music, presenting three contrasting stage works — “Par le bout du nez”, “Quadrille” and “Prima facie” — alongside a concert by Orchestre Tout Puissant Marcel Duchamp as part of La Bâtie-Festival de Genève. Across intimate stagings the festival favors inventive direction, close ensemble interplay and a balance of wit and intensity, offering encounters that privilege physical presence, tonal variety and rigorous dramaturgy.
Singer-songwriter Zora offers an intimate acoustic set that unfolds like a suspended reverie. Her warm voice and pared-down guitar trace delicate melodies, exploring longing and quiet joy through spare, lyrical songs. The performance favors close listening, with subtle dynamics and moments of hush that invite reflection. Sparse arrangements and natural resonance create a fragile, luminous atmosphere, transporting listeners into a contemplative evening of honest storytelling and soft, emotive soundscapes.
