27 August – 18 October

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.

15 September – 11 October

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.

In French.

24 – 27 September

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.

Part of the Sunday Concerts season, this open day invites discovery of the hall, its renowned organ and musical life through guided visits, hands-on workshops, historical dance initiation and a silent-film ciné-concert. The programme features actors and singers alongside instrumentalists: Antoine Courvoisier, Charlotte Filou, Julia Deit‑Ferrand (mezzo), Lysa Menu (soprano), Jean‑Paul Pruna (piano), Diego Innocenzi and Thierry Escaich (orgue), and lutenist Monica Pustilnik. Partnerships with ClassiCosy and Fêtes Costumées shape a convivial, tactile encounter with music and heritage.

15 September – 11 October

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.

Sunday 27 September, 19:30

Aterciopelados, led by Andrea Echeverri and Héctor Buitrago, bring three decades of socially conscious rock fused with Latin rhythms. On this tour they celebrate La Pipa de la Paz — 30 Years with a set that balances electric immediacy and poetic lyricism. Support act Palenque La Papayera offers exuberant banda rooted in Caribbean mestizaje, communal dance and brass-driven textures. Together they create a festive, visceral dialogue where political urgency meets collective joy and movement.
