Noir et Gerber — Two-Voice Trio

Booking Required

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.

Oncle Vania

Performances

Théâtre des Amis

Directed by Françoise Courvoisier, this production of Anton Chekhov’s Oncle Vania — translated by Arthur Adamov — assembles a committed ensemble (Vincent Bonillo, Pierre Dubey, Bérangère Mastrangelo, Patricia Mollet-Mercier, Clarisse Morizot, Pierre Omer, Juliana Samarine, Edmond Vuilloud) to explore love, the passage of time and illusions lost. The staging, created with scenographer Gilbert Maire and painter André Kasper, uses Rinaldo Del Boca’s lighting, Pierre Omer’s music and Nicolas Le Roy’s sound to evoke both the comedy and the terrifying humanity of Chekhov.

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.

Six heures plus tard

Performances

Théâtre Saint-Gervais

Written by Stéphane Bouquet, Six heures plus tard is an intimate stage performance for two performers that explores the fragile bonds between a man and a woman through poetic text, live-filmed images, spare lighting and pared-down stage presence. The piece treats silence as a shared, collective resource and recomposes itself according to each venue’s architecture and the state of the bodies, creating an unusual proximity and contemplative atmosphere.

Requiem — Agneta & Co.

Performances

Projet H107

Requiem brings Agneta & Cie’s dancers together in a sculpted exploration of connection, sound and movement. Bodies become instruments and rhythm, composing an embodied, silent score that shifts between whispered intimacy and surging collective gestures. The choreography treats dance as shared memory, privileging breath, timing and close listening; sparse lights and close physicality shape a contemplative yet visceral atmosphere that invites communal attention and emotional resonance.

Noir & Gerber

Performances

BAG Blues

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.

Pewma

Performances

Théâtre de l'Usine

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.
