Peter and the Wolf is presented in a chamber arrangement for wind quintet by J. Linckelmann, performed in a version by the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande. This musical tale combines vivid instrumental characterization with narrated storytelling: Marion Fontana leads the narration while Sarah Rumer (flute), Simon Sommerhalder (oboe), Benoît Willmann (clarinet), Luis Marquez Teruel (bassoon) and Clément Charpentier-Leroy (horn) bring Prokofiev’s motifs to life.

POSITIV comes to Geneva for a specially curated edition, assembling Paul Kalkbrenner, Mind Against, Nicolas Cuer and La Forêt among its lineup. The night is conceived as an immersive world: a monumental strip of staged areas hosts performances, roaming artists, installations, rides and food corners. The production by Village du Soir foregrounds spectacular scenography, marrying pulsing electronic sound with shifting light and visual design to create a disorienting, celebratory atmosphere that lingers beyond the music.
Four performers embody testimonies from different generations in Sept, situated at the crossroads of dance and film. Between intimate confidences and tender tableaux, the piece examines how age shapes us and stages a delicate exploration of what growing older means, revealing a shared humanity. The staging shifts between projected images and live bodies, weaving visual and physical layers to create an experience that is both poetic and unsettling.
Created and performed by Igor Mamlenkov and directed by Kostya Novitskiy, Kto Tam? is a 60-minute non-verbal visual tragicomedy that explores exile, memory, loneliness and resilience. Through precise movement, object manipulation and evocative shadow play, Mamlenkov animates forgotten belongings into companions, transforming absence into tender, absurd and deeply human encounters. Drawing on Slavic physical theatre traditions, the piece uses gesture and poetic imagery to build a universal, wordless journey into the heart of solitude.
Directed by Gilles Guénat and written by Roxane Gray, The Wall is a dance-theatre piece that immerses audiences in a musical and choreographic tapestry around the history of the Berlin Wall. Choreographies by Fabrice Martin, Sabine Gross-Collé, Gilles Guénat and Anthony Despras shape a fluid dialogue between a woman and a man, where the personal and the political intertwine. A company of around ten artists navigates intimate gestures and collective movements, evoking memory, rupture and resilient lyricism.
An intimate lunchtime concert featuring a string quartet: Lucas Monerri (violin), Piotr Kawecki (violin), Robin Lemmel (viola) and Coralie Devars (cello), drawn from the Geneva Chamber Orchestra. The program centers on Franz Schubert’s String Quartet No. 14 in D minor, ‘Death and the Maiden’, its dramatic motifs and lyrical slow movements unfolding in close-up, chamber textures. Expect concentrated interplay, quiet tension and moments of stark intimacy that invite sustained listening.
