Les frustrés / Claire Bretécher

Booking Required

Adapted from Claire Bretécher’s eponymous comics and directed by José Lillo, Les frustrés stages a sequence of incisive scenes exploring recurring social relationships: friends, men among themselves, couples and evening gatherings. The quartet of performers — Élodie Bordas, Mélanie Foulon, Felipe Castro and David Gobet — navigate a compact, everyday dramaturgy where sharp comic critique reveals intimate and ideological contradictions. Rinaldo Del Boca’s lighting sculpts the domestic textures of each episode, balancing wit and critical observation.

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.

Focus Jeune Création

Performances

La Comédie de Genève

Focus Jeune Création brings together a new generation of Romand artists over two weeks, presenting five bold and hybrid performances that blur theatre, performance and live art. The program explores emergent writing and stage practices— from plateau-based text to pieces rooted in the real—offering layered, often indisciplinary approaches that question formats and invent languages for a transforming world. Accompanying meetings and discussions extend the works and open insight into creative processes.

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.

La Demande en mariage et l’ours

Performances

Théâtre de Carouge

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.

CHRÜSIMÜSI

Performances

La Comédie de Genève

Directed by Eléonore Bonah and staged by scenographer Maria Clara Castioni, CHRÜSIMÜSI transforms Adelheid Duvanel’s terse, poetic fragments into a multilingual theatrical tapestry. Performers Eléonore Bonah and Maria Clara Castioni inhabit hypersensitive, marginal characters whose everyday gestures oscillate between absurdity and tenderness. Sparse staging and a careful interplay of voice and silence highlight Duvanel’s Kafkaesque intimacy, while language shifts (French, German, Italian) create a fragile, dreamlike atmosphere that balances humour and quiet despair, celebrating stubborn acts of resistance.

Blandine Lehout – La Vie de Ta Mère

Performances

BFM

Blandine Lehout brings a frank, funny stand-up evening that mines motherhood, couple life and the strains of new parenthood with biting wit and self-mockery. Between sharp one-liners and candid storytelling she confronts loss of a past life, appetite and body-image jokes, and rebellious impulses toward moralizers and partners. The show blends autobiographical detail with cynical humor and warm audience rapport to create an unfiltered, liberating comic experience.

In French.
