Morgane Meli turns her sharp radio chronicles into a first solo stage show that blends stand-up intimacy with candid social observation. Her writing pairs dry wit and vulnerability, tracing personal stories and current affairs through a confessional, free-form performance. The pace alternates brisk sketches and reflective moments, inviting laughter and thought in equal measure. Minimal staging keeps focus on voice and timing, delivering a distinctive, personal comic portrait.

A darkly comic solo play about obsession and domestic chaos. When Michel finds a rare record he has long sought, he prepares a perfect hour to listen — but family, neighbours and a drip that will wreck the disc steadily intrude. The piece skewers selfishness with sharp humour and precise staging, combining intimate realism and heightened farce to probe human smallness and the desperate desire for solitude.

Festival de piano 2026 brings together Orchestre Concertus under the baton of Matthieu Schweyer for an evening of Romantic piano concertos. Pianist Lucas Chiche performs Chopin’s Piano Concerto No. 1 with lyrical refinement, while Nathalia Milstein delivers the sweeping passion of Rachmaninov’s Piano Concerto No. 2. The programme balances intimate lyricism and virtuosic drama, framed by orchestral colour and nuanced phrasing to create a richly expressive concert experience.
Geneva’s La Revuelta is an explosive brass band that brings together musicians from diverse nationalities to create a vibrant fusion rooted in Latin American rhythms. Drawing heavily on cumbia and other styles, the ensemble blends driving brass arrangements, percussive grooves and spirited improvisation. Their performances are energetic and contrast-filled, offering an intense, festive sound journey with a commanding stage presence that invites collective movement and celebration.
Frank Martin’s opera La Tempête, after Shakespeare with a libretto by August Wilhelm von Schlegel and Johann Ludwig Tieck, returns in a new French-language production. Conductor Thierry Fischer leads the score while director Netia Jones stages a striking conception that makes electricity the source of Prospero’s powers. The cast brings poetic intensity to the island’s drama—Miranda, Caliban and the spirit Ariel—blending vocal nuance, atmospheric design and inventive staging to revisit exile, magic and reconciliation.

Directed by Rémi Dufay, D’amour et d’eau fraîche is a stage adventure that celebrates movement, friendship and the unforeseen. Rémi Dufay and his ensemble probe margins and fragile frames, staging situations that slip away in a deliberately unsteady ceremony. The production blurs reality and magic, carrying the audience through a joyful, rocambolic wandering. A lively, generous performance that refuses stillness and favours continual transformation.

Across intimate stagings the festival favors inventive direction, close ensemble interplay and a balance of wit and intensity, offering encounters that privilege physical presence, tonal variety and rigorous dramaturgy.
