L’amoureux de Madame Muscle

Booking Required

FURTHER AFIELD

Choreographed and directed by Michel Kelemenis, L’amoureux de Madame Muscle is a playful, ludo‑anatomical dance piece that sketches a pop, cartoon universe. Three performers — Aurore Indaburu, Anthony La Rosa and Mylène Lamugnière — animate vaudevillian tableaus, shadow‑play and circus‑tinged physical comedy to explore flesh, muscle and the poetry of movement. Kelemenis’s staging blends curiosity, wit and precise bodily observation to create a fresh, sensorial portrait of love and the human frame.

ADHD

Performances

AMR

The Icelandic quartet ADHD presents their tenth album, ADHD 10, continuing an exploration between jazz, ambient, rock and folk. Simon Frith describes it as “a desolate quietude… Nordic, neither urban jazz nor rural folk.” Their immersive, sensory sound transcends genres, offering an intense concert blending new material with signature pieces. The group—Óskar Guðjónsson (saxophones), Ómar Guðjónsson (guitar, pedal steel, bass), Tómas Jónsson (piano, keyboards) and Magnús Trygvason Eliassen (drums)—creates spacious, contemplative textures that evolve into powerful, lyrical climaxes.

The Other Place

Performances

La Comédie de Genève

Directed by Alexander Zeldin, The Other Place is a contemporary reading of Antigone that carves a tragic family drama out of everyday life. On the anniversary of their father’s death, two estranged sisters confront memories, renovation works and an uncle determined to move on. With Jerry Killick among the cast and a strikingly realistic scenography, the production exposes hidden violences, irreconcilable trajectories and raw emotional fractures in a finely observed, tense staging.

La Ménagerie de verre

Performances

Théâtre de Carouge

For his final production as a theatre director, Jean Liermier revisits Tennessee Williams’s autobiographical classic about memory, longing and family. Set in the 1930s American South, the staging gathers a company around Laura, here embodied by Aurélia Thierrée, with Cyprien Colombo, David Gobet and Clotilde Mollet completing the ensemble. Liermier’s direction emphasises fragile interiors and poetic movement, offering a liberating, weightless atmosphere that balances tenderness and uneasy nostalgia.
