Retour au pays / Hugo von Hofmannsthal

Booking Required

Directed by Marie-José Malis, Retour au pays revisits Hugo von Hofmannsthal’s letters through a spare, lucid staging. Performers Alexandra Tiedemann and Juan Crespillo inhabit the returning merchant’s disorientation, while Aurélia Ansermet provides live music and sound. Bernard Héritier’s scenography and Jessy Ducatillon’s lighting shape moments of visual surprise, most poignantly a Van Gogh encounter that restores belief in the world. The piece refuses facile answers, offering theatrical lucidity and an austere emotional clarity.

In French.

MIKI — Hybrid Pop

Performances

Alhambra

MIKI writes, films and sings with a sharp, candid voice, crafting a hybrid pop that balances nervous energy and intimate detail. Her performance mixes absurd vignettes and tender moments, delivered with an ironic distance that keeps listeners off‑balance. She stages songs like short films, letting onstage gestures and lo-fi visuals punctuate the music. Revealed at Voix de Fête 2025, MIKI’s show feels immediate and unvarnished, alternating between playful chaos and fragile honesty.

Mobula — Au-Delà Du Bleu

Performances

Château Rouge – Annemasse

FURTHER AFIELD

Mobula is an ode to the movement of water, a dance piece that reflects humanity’s relationship with the ocean. Directed by Jean‑Camille Goimard and performed by Pierre Theoleyre, Denis Terrasse and Anna Martin‑François, the choreography channels aquatic energy: floating beneath the surface, being tossed by waves, confronting the storm. Images are projected across a sail-like structure while Anne Martin appears as a dancer in the film, and narratives from people who live with the sea punctuate the work.

Estefanía Álvarez Ramírez & Luisa Fernanda Alfonso – Quinceañeras

Performances

Pavillon ADC

Quinceañeras is a durational performance created and performed by Colombian artists Estefanía and Luisa, who examine the ambivalence of the quinceañera ritual. Combining movement, symbolic staging and intimate scenography, the piece interrogates colonial legacies and the boundaries of gendered rites of passage. Through choreography and poetic gestures they transform ritual into acts of resistance and self-affirmation, proposing new modes of feminine representation and collective memory within contemporary performance.

Partition of the Future – Squared

Performances

Plaine de Plainpalais

At the crossroads of theatre, mixed reality and technological installation, this immersive performance invites audiences to test the machine built by a scientist to tackle existential problems. Wearing mixed-reality headsets, spectators collectively explore the chaotic inner world of a person trapped by indecision. The experience moves between human vulnerability and artificial intelligence, until the machine itself begins to falter in the face of what it cannot fully understand.
