GECA: Souvenirs

Souvenirs is a family-friendly music and movement piece by Claire and Anthony, performed with the Geneva Camerata. Through shadow theatre, dance and live video, two performers convey memories, traces and emotions without words. The staging combines delicate choreography, cinematic imagery and chamber music to create a tender, wonder-filled atmosphere that appeals to both children and adults. Rooted in visual illusion and human connection, the work premiered at the Festival d’Avignon and has since toured international festivals.

28 October – 8 November

Directed by Eléonore Bonah and staged by scenographer Maria Clara Castioni, CHRÜSIMÜSI transforms Adelheid Duvanel’s terse, poetic fragments into a multilingual theatrical tapestry. Performers Eléonore Bonah and Maria Clara Castioni inhabit hypersensitive, marginal characters whose everyday gestures oscillate between absurdity and tenderness. Sparse staging and a careful interplay of voice and silence highlight Duvanel’s Kafkaesque intimacy, while language shifts (French, German, Italian) create a fragile, dreamlike atmosphere that balances humour and quiet despair, celebrating stubborn acts of resistance.

17 October – 29 November

Directed by Rebecca Stella and adapted with Danielle Barthélemy, Cendrillon blends classic fairy-tale drama with manga-inspired staging. Pili Loop’s original score, Mathieu Courtaillier’s lighting and the set by Camille Ansquer shape a vivid, contemporary universe. Costumes by Alice Toutev and Sonia Bosc and choreography by Léon add playful movement and character. Anthony Surleraux’s video projections and graphics expand the tale’s visual world, pairing tradition with modern theatrical textures.

The performance plays with rhythm and tone, inviting the audience into a conversational space where language and timing shape the comedic arc. Expect a polished, focused evening that foregrounds voice, timing and nuanced social commentary.

Vagalumes opens the evening with an intimate South American‑infused jazz set, led by Sylvie Klijn (voice), Paul Gonzalez (guitar, maracas) and Samuel Boutros (percussion). Their repertoire blends original pieces, Spanish and Portuguese songs and a poetic Latin‑jazz atmosphere evoking Fernando Pessoa and Pablo Neruda. The second set features Baiju Bhatt & Red Sun — Baiju Bhatt (violin), Valentin Conus (tenor sax), Mark Priore (piano), Blaise Hommage (double bass) and Paul Berne (drums, percussion) — exploring a daring fusion of jazz‑rock, Indian traditions and contemporary textures.

30 October – 1 November

Novarina’s text is staged as a pulsating, jubilant language for seated singers: an archipelago of acts and unresolved gestures. Cascades of duos, liturgies of the circus, laments, spoken landscapes and fragmentary songs assemble into a corrosive poetic satire that probes the sonic, visual, semantic and rhythmic virtualities of speech. The piece interrogates political discourse, the press and the social image of man while privileging theatrical sound and corporeal invention. Produced by Studio d’Action Théâtrale as part of its 40th anniversary.

In French.

28 – 31 October

Centred on Sami Bernath’s embodied memories, this performance mixes Swiss popular songs, rhythmic gestures and the traditional Löffelä spoon percussion to transform everyday motions into sound. Through repetition, deformation and rhythmic saturation, familiar motifs become permeable, revealing buried and repressed memories beneath the Swiss mountains. The staging is intimate and ritualistic, alternating fragile vocal fragments and percussive textures to probe memory and collective inheritance.
