A tender, witty stage piece that orbits a forgotten racing bicycle and the memories it revives. Through intimate physicality and sharp humour, the performance untangles themes of family, love, masculinity and the competitive pulse of cycling, while allowing quieter, existential questions to surface. The staging balances comic moments with moments of melancholy, inviting the audience into a warm, human portrait of attachment, rivalry and recollection.

Simon Gerber and Sophie Noir lead a rare two-voice trio, joined by drummer and sound engineer Claude Kamber (often replaced in concert by Alberto Malo). Formed during a residency, the group blends soul, blues and chanson with touches of pop, folk and jazz. Their repertoire mixes original songs in French and English with obscure American soul duets, delivered with minimalist, electric intensity. Recorded and produced by the trio, their live-rooted approach foregrounds warm harmonies, intimate interplay and raw, resonant sonic textures.
Scène Vagabonde’s seventh edition brings a compact program of contemporary theatre and music, presenting three contrasting stage works — “Par le bout du nez”, “Quadrille” and “Prima facie” — alongside a concert by Orchestre Tout Puissant Marcel Duchamp as part of La Bâtie-Festival de Genève. 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.
Directed by Marika Dreistadt, Halte gives voice to eight young adults formerly in child protection, tracing the fragile passage from placement to adulthood. Non-professional performers — Zakaria Attoumani, Melanda Bertrand-Avebe, Celina Chraiet, Maël Do Nascimento, Alexis Limacher Abreu, Natalia Nguba Ekela, Clémentine Polly Care Pache and Léon Trolliet — blend testimony, courtroom scenes and moments of defiance. The staging mixes documentary realism and theatrical composition to reveal generation Z perspectives and intimate questions about authority, belonging and the future.

Choreographed by Valeska Romero Curiqueo, Pewma (Mapudungun for “dream”) weaves dance, performance, live sound and poetry to trace transmissions between bodies. The piece confronts peripheral, wounded and violently marked identities through ritualized gestures and sensual collisions, invoking Venus as a figure of omen, destruction and rebirth. Live violin, synthesizers and vocals shape a tense, luminous soundscape as bodies dissolve and reconstitute, staging desire, friction and collective memory.
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.

Noir & Gerber blend warm, intimate soul and blues with original songs in French and English. Vocalists Sophie Noir (voice, bass, piano) and Simon Gerber (voice, guitar, bass) trade melodies and harmonies over driving grooves from drummer Claude Kamber (or Alberto Malo), creating close interplay between voice and instrument. Their repertoire moves from smoky soul to rhythm’n’blues, combining delicate arrangements, raw emotion and playful improvisation that highlight songwriting and spirited live dynamics.
