An intimate lunchtime concert featuring a string quartet: Lucas Monerri (violin), Piotr Kawecki (violin), Robin Lemmel (viola) and Coralie Devars (cello), drawn from the Geneva Chamber Orchestra. The program centers on Franz Schubert’s String Quartet No. 14 in D minor, ‘Death and the Maiden’, its dramatic motifs and lyrical slow movements unfolding in close-up, chamber textures. Expect concentrated interplay, quiet tension and moments of stark intimacy that invite sustained listening.
A playful, genre-blending evening led by Lord Betterave and featuring Mehdi Bousaidan and Charles Nouveau. The show mixes live DJ performance, satire and theatrical sketches, exploring urban nightlife, identity and absurdity. Dynamic staging and rhythmic transitions give way to intimate, high-energy moments, where music and spoken word converse. Produced by AB Prod Sàrl, the performance alternates live mixing, comic interplay and performative vignettes to blur the line between concert and cabaret.

Directed by Gabriel Álvarez, Le Repas revives two flagship pieces from his company’s repertoire for the 40th anniversary of Studio d’Action Théâtrale and pays homage to playwright Valère Novarina. A cosmogonic feast staged with the audience at table, the performance devours the world through ritual, poetry and corporeal presence. It examines human voracity, collective memory and the fate of what we ingest, offering a sensorial, intimate and occasionally brutal theatrical journey.

FURTHER AFIELD
Ce qui nous traverse, choreographed by Nawal Aït Benalla and co-directed with Abou Lagraa, is a visceral dance piece by Compagnie La Baraka that probes the body in an age of technology. Dancers Elie Fico, Alba Fracchia, Marion Frappat, Alfredo Gottardi and Rachele Pinzan navigate rhythmic patterns, tensions between constraint and freedom, isolation and encounter, and the shifting boundaries of embodiment. Olivier Innocenti’s compositions and Laïs Foulc’s lighting frame a powerful, poetic investigation of collective and intimate corporeality.
Directed by Céline Goormaghtigh and written by Anne Berest, LA VISITE probes maternal instinct with sharp humour and urgent intensity. In a compact domestic setting, a young mother at the limits of endurance confronts visitors while her defenses dissolve; a trio of actresses whirl and collide, delivering a caustic torrent of language and revealing movement. The work explores ‘matraissance’—the birth of motherhood—balancing lucidity, rage and tenderness to unsettle familiar myths about maternal bliss.

Jaune is a fresh stage piece created and performed by recent graduates Mathis Josselin and Gabrielle Pialoux. This first collaboration explores the many faces of the colour yellow — joy, friendship, tenderness, desire and its more ambivalent edges — with an intimate, playful and sincere theatrical language. The creators blend minimal staging and tactile gestures to produce a concise, evocative hour of shared emotion and quiet humour.
In French. Created for the Fête du théâtre 2026.
