27 May – 6 June

Almo BB

Booking Required

Created by Davide Brancato and Noémie Griess, Almo BB imagines a theatre of excess where cabaret, performance, drag, music and intimate confession fuse into a dramatic variety show inspired by Pedro Almodóvar. Through a shifting gallery of characters — a nun, a cross-dressing singer, a widow — the piece probes mutable identities, devouring passions, solitude, family inheritances and gender injunctions. Drag operates as metamorphosis and revelation, letting bodies, voices and emotions exist in full complexity.

La Demande en mariage et l’ours

Performances

Théâtre de Carouge

Two short plays by Anton Chekhov staged by Tibor Ockenfels and Flavie Tapparel, presented as compact dramatic machines where romantic comedy masks escalating confrontations between desire, affection and material interest. Performances rely on precise physical timing, terse exchanges and a lean, playful design to reveal the simmering violence behind courtship rituals. The three actors — Estelle Bridet, Matteo Prandi and Raphaël Vachoux — inhabit heightened character types that shift between farce and darker comic truth, creating a sharply observed, kinetic evening.

Guihome: One-Man Show

Performances

BFM

Guihome returns with a finely observed one‑man show that traces the passage from childhood to adulthood through a gallery of new characters and a naturalistic staging. The performance blends candid humour, tenderness and sharp, observational monologue as it follows first moves, first marriage and a first funeral. The staging favours realism and intimate storytelling, creating a warm, reflective atmosphere sustained across nearly two hours.

Dr. Watson & The Lawdy Mamas

Performances

Brasseur des Grottes

Led by pianist and singer Dennis Watson, the Dr. Watson Band revisits blues and rock through soulful vocals and piano-driven arrangements. The quartet — Dennis Watson (piano, vocals), Alain Niederhauser (guitar, vocals), Luc Schuwey (bass) and Pascal Jean (drums) — blends originals from the album “Welcome to the World” with covers by Freddie King, Muddy Waters, the Allman Brothers and Jimi Hendrix. Sharing the bill, The Lawdy Mamas — four Geneva-based women — channel raw Southern blues and 1970s rock, delivering high-energy, road-worn guitar-driven performances.

Charlie Winston

Performances

Salle Communale d'Onex

Revealed in 2009 by the hit « Like a Hobo », Charlie Winston, the most francophile of British singers, presents a unique solo acoustic evening. After seventeen years with his band he strips his songs back, offering intimate, raw and tender interpretations of his best-known tracks alongside rare or never-before-played pieces and songs from his sixth album Love Ain’t Easy. The performance balances emotion and surprise, with spontaneous interactions and a contagious energy that brings the artist close to his audience.

Sami Lea Samira Bernath – Sous les montagnes

Performances

Pavillon ADC

Centred on Sami Bernath’s embodied memories, this performance mixes Swiss popular songs, rhythmic gestures and the traditional Löffelä spoon percussion to transform everyday motions into sound. Through repetition, deformation and rhythmic saturation, familiar motifs become permeable, revealing buried and repressed memories beneath the Swiss mountains. The staging is intimate and ritualistic, alternating fragile vocal fragments and percussive textures to probe memory and collective inheritance.

CHRÜSIMÜSI

Performances

La Comédie de Genève

Directed by Eléonore Bonah and staged by scenographer Maria Clara Castioni, CHRÜSIMÜSI transforms Adelheid Duvanel’s terse, poetic fragments into a multilingual theatrical tapestry. Performers Eléonore Bonah and Maria Clara Castioni inhabit hypersensitive, marginal characters whose everyday gestures oscillate between absurdity and tenderness. Sparse staging and a careful interplay of voice and silence highlight Duvanel’s Kafkaesque intimacy, while language shifts (French, German, Italian) create a fragile, dreamlike atmosphere that balances humour and quiet despair, celebrating stubborn acts of resistance.
