The Genesis

Booking Required

FURTHER AFIELD

Choreographed by Patrick King and Johan King Silverhult, The Genesis gathers fifteen acrobats from thirteen countries in a visceral, apparatus-free circus that blends physical rigor and anthropological insight. The company constructs towering lifts, pyramids and human columns while powerful female bases support daring male flyers. Explosive jumps, flights and catches create breath-taking moments that probe community, solidarity and the dynamics of trust and risk. The work is a bold, emotionally charged celebration of collective strength and mutual dependence.

Toutes les femmes sont des aliens

Performances

Théâtre du Grütli

Told as a solo performance, this piece follows a woman as she remembers the films that shaped her life and blurs the line between cinema and memory. Through references to science-fiction sagas and cinematic archetypes — the woman-soldier, the survivor, the reluctant mother — the show probes identity, fear of change and the ways stories migrate from screen to skin. Sparse staging and intimate narration create a haunting, introspective atmosphere.

In French.

Ce qui nous traverse

Performances

Château Rouge – Annemasse

FURTHER AFIELD

Ce qui nous traverse, choreographed by Nawal Aït Benalla and co-directed with Abou Lagraa, is a visceral dance piece by Compagnie La Baraka that probes the body in an age of technology. Dancers Elie Fico, Alba Fracchia, Marion Frappat, Alfredo Gottardi and Rachele Pinzan navigate rhythmic patterns, tensions between constraint and freedom, isolation and encounter, and the shifting boundaries of embodiment. Olivier Innocenti’s compositions and Laïs Foulc’s lighting frame a powerful, poetic investigation of collective and intimate corporeality.

La Table d’Amour

Performances

Théâtre Saint-Gervais

An introspective monologue for multiple voices, La Table d’Amour is a poetic theatrical immersion inspired by a Tinos island tradition. Performed by Manon Krüttli and Jeanne De Mont, the piece follows Manon Krüttli’s journey between autobiography, fiction and dreamlike reverie. It probes questions of living together, reconciliation and the role of conviviality as an artistic gesture, creating an intimate, sensory staging that favors lyricism and shared presence.

Oncle Vania

Performances

Théâtre des Amis

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.

In French.
