Cherish Menzo – Frank

Booking Required

Cherish Menzo’s Frank interrogates the figure of the monster as a cultural mirror. Through distortion-driven movement, four performers create a charged ritual that blends apocalypse, carnival and corporeal abstraction. Menzo reframes Frankenstein motifs to probe Black identity, threading images and texts on mortality into a choreography that is both visceral and uncanny. Part of a triptych following JEZEBEL and DARKMATTER, the work explores diaspora intersections with striking physicality and metaphorical intensity.

22 September – 29 November

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.

26 – 27 September

Hosted by Sulman, AFRO B4 – Open Deck Session gathers a line-up of DJs exploring Afro-rooted club rhythms. Performers include DJ Bendo, Sulman, Veah, DJ Raya Queen and Manu DJ Freshboy, moving between Afro, shatta, dancehall, bouyon and amapiano textures. The evening privileges DJ-driven discovery, dynamic transitions and physical bass, with tight mixes and imagined lightscapes amplifying dancefloor energy. The result is an immersive, rhythm-centred journey that foregrounds groove and communal release.

24 – 27 September

Written by Stéphane Bouquet, Six heures plus tard is an intimate stage performance for two performers that explores the fragile bonds between a man and a woman through poetic text, live-filmed images, spare lighting and pared-down stage presence. The piece treats silence as a shared, collective resource and recomposes itself according to each venue’s architecture and the state of the bodies, creating an unusual proximity and contemplative atmosphere.

In French.

24 September – 4 October

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.

Sunday 27 September, 17:00

Performed by the Arkhè Quintet — Edouard Liechti, Nicolas Jéquier, Patrick Leyvraz, Arthur Guignard and Pascal Desarzens — this programme gathers musicians from French-speaking Switzerland who have collaborated for two decades. As a quintet they bring Schubert’s String Quintet to life with attentive ensemble playing, revealing lush textures, resonant low strings and luminous melodic lines. The performance privileges attentive listening, intimate dynamics and slow-burn emotional intensity, where close interplay and delicate phrasing unfold a spacious, deeply human sound world.

18 – 27 September

Directed by Jérôme Bel, this collectively created theatre piece is written and performed by children aged 8 to 14.

The ensemble’s spontaneous scenes and open-ended dramaturgy emphasize collaboration and risk, offering spectators an intimate encounter with youthful authorship and theatrical experiment.
