Jeremy Crausaz stages a comic yet tender portrait of family life, where laughter collides with reproach and joy sits beside quarrel. The piece moves between nostalgia, jealousy and small, fierce reconciliations; ruined desserts, heated conversations and offhand political arguments sketch a vivid domestic tableau. Intimate and sharply observed, the show examines how family ties persist despite awkwardness and unsaid affection.

Created and performed by Diederik Peeters, Confabulations blurs the boundary between reality and illusion. Playing a psychiatrist, Peeters uses archival material, historical narratives and personal testimonies to probe memory, perception and confabulation. The staging mixes shifting visual worlds, forensic references and moments of hallucination to produce an unsettling, lyrical investigation of psychiatry, neurology and neurodivergent experience. Second instalment of a trilogy following Apparitions (2018), the piece invites a vertiginous reflection on truth and remembrance.

Choreographed and performed by Davi Pontes and Wallace Ferreira, Repertório N.3 closes their trilogy with a mischievous, incisive dance that uses irony and mockery as modes of resistance. Created after Bolsonaro’s 2022 defeat, this final chapter swaps the martial frontal energy of earlier pieces for playful, provocative gestures: naked, unmiked bodies and no music foreground look, pride and sly humor. Invoking social media codes and viral culture, the duo interrogates how queer and racialized bodies are seen, exposed and consumed.
Cirque Knie presents a family-oriented, large-scale circus spectacle combining athletic acrobatics, equestrian artistry and choreographed variety numbers. The programme balances fast-paced technical acts and poetic interludes, with careful staging, lighting and live musical accompaniment to create moments of wonder and humour. Suitable for children from four years upwards, the show prioritises accessibility and comfort while offering an immersive, theatrical atmosphere that blends tradition and contemporary circus aesthetics.
Loops on Ice blends choreographed skating, live chamber music and electronic loops into a kinetic, hypnotic performance. The Orchestre de Chambre de Genève weaves repetitive, circular motifs while dancer and skater Stephen Thompson shapes tempo through continuous choreography on the ice. Electronic artist YMNK adds modular synths and homemade machines, injecting a danceable, raw energy. Co-produced with Festival de la Bâtie, the piece explores momentum, circulation and ecstatic repetition.
Choreographed by Léo Lérus, Gounouj in situ is an intimate, physical dance for four performers that evokes fragile, living landscapes. Rooted in gwoka rhythms and inspired by the creole concept of bousyè, the work blends traditional and contemporary vocabularies to explore vulnerability, transformation and resistance. Bodies shift between human and amphibious states across a sensory soundscape of bird song and marine breath, transforming the stage into a moving ecosystem and proposing a fragile possibility of new balance.
Soundtrack: Finding Home blends song, staged movement and spoken monologue to trace the fragile journey of a newcomer to Geneva. Performed by a mix of professional and amateur artists, the piece navigates doubt, joy and the search for belonging through intimate vocal textures and choreographed tableaux. The city is imagined as a living presence that answers and challenges the protagonist, while lighting and sound sketches create shifting atmospheres, moving from disorientation to tentative connection.
