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.

16 – 17 October

Choreographed by Anan Atoyama, Atlas of Breaths probes migration and climate loss through participatory, real-time creation. Drawing on climate science, happening culture and the tea-ceremony philosophy, the work unfolds as ephemeral sculptures of bodies, objects, sound and words. Guided by Atoyama, audiences may observe or join, shaping a collective, ever-shifting piece. Collaborative contributions by Viva Sanchez, Jean-Charles François and Christophe Baert enrich the textures, producing an intimate, ritualized and exploratory atmosphere.

In French.

7 – 17 October

Je ne suis pas Johnny is a theatrical exploration of identity, memory and the weight of cultural myth. Combining intimate staging, physical sensitivity and moments of dark humour, the piece unsettles familiar narratives and invites audiences to reconsider how personas are constructed and performed. Sparse lighting and a fluid rhythm shape an intense, close-up experience, where silence and gesture reveal hidden tensions and unexpected tenderness.

9 – 16 October

Music and songs by Stephen Sondheim with a libretto by George Furth and a French translation by Stéphane Laporte. This intimate, razor-sharp musical follows Robert (Bobby), a charming New Yorker confronting bachelorhood, friendship and the compromises of coupledom. The production blends incisive lyrics, lively choreography and a close ensemble cast to reveal joyful neuroses, hidden desires and fragile bonds. The staging alternates warmth and irony, inviting reflection on love, loneliness and the elusive art of staying together.

Sung in English; dialogues in French.

1 – 31 October

JazzContreBand celebrates its 30th anniversary with a new creation led by trumpeter Erik Truffaz. Franco‑Swiss musicians join forces with the Orchestre des Alpes et du Léman in Side by Side, a programme that blends classical writing, jazz phrasing and open-ended improvisation. The project explores textural contrasts, orchestral colours and solo interplay, shifting from intimate chamber passages to wide, cinematic swells. Expect nuanced dynamics, luminous timbres and collaborative dialogue across genres.

16 – 17 October

Performed by Adrien Barazzone, this one-man show assembles a whole municipal council on stage and turns the performance into a delightful carnival of egos. At the heart of the piece, a heated question about toppling a Woodrow Wilson statue for a conceptual work titled ‘Boule de papier’ unleashes a cascade of interventions, shifting certainties and contagious comic energy. Part satire, part human comedy, the piece mixes biting, absurd and whimsical humour to probe institutions, contradictions and ourselves.

In French.
