Presented by Creative BPM, Tremplin Mouvement gathers emerging female choreographers and dancers from street and clubbing cultures to present short, 15-minute works. The evening showcases experimental approaches to movement, rhythm and club aesthetics, foregrounding techniques drawn from Afro‑diasporic popular cultures. Intimate and kinetic, the programme favors testing new forms, bold improvisation and visceral staging, offering snapshots of a vibrant, evolving scene and a platform for practices often underrepresented in Geneva.
Directed by Françoise Courvoisier, this production of Anton Chekhov’s Oncle Vania — translated by Arthur Adamov — assembles a committed ensemble (Vincent Bonillo, Pierre Dubey, Bérangère Mastrangelo, Patricia Mollet-Mercier, Clarisse Morizot, Pierre Omer, Juliana Samarine, Edmond Vuilloud) to explore love, the passage of time and illusions lost. The staging, created with scenographer Gilbert Maire and painter André Kasper, uses Rinaldo Del Boca’s lighting, Pierre Omer’s music and Nicolas Le Roy’s sound to evoke both the comedy and the terrifying humanity of Chekhov.

Le Truc sur le feu is a playful, offbeat fable that examines how the domestication of fire shaped human life. Written by Romane Nicolas, the piece stages two Paleolithic clans who wonder, clash and ignite as puppets by the Kokoschka tradition bring grotesque situations to life. With incisive humour and sharp theatricality, the show confronts ideas of progress, individuality versus community, animality and civilisation, offering a vividly staged reflection on the choices that set societies alight.
