Yaz: Let’s Talk About Love, Habibi

Booking Required

Mehdi Djouad combines astrology, ritual performance, movement and writing in a short performative reading set to live music by 7EMA. The piece transforms celestial cycles into staged fragments: poetic extracts from a year-long diary that tracked the astrological sky are interwoven with choreography and ritual gestures to examine collective solitude, love and faith beneath a starry vault. Co-produced by L’Abri; Mehdi Djouad was Artist Associate there in the 2025–26 season.

In French. Created for the Fête du Théâtre.

Amor

Performances

Théâtre le douze dix-huit

Amor follows a forty‑something couple, attached yet weary from routine, confronting unspoken truths and the pull toward emancipation. This intimate, humanist theatre piece probes love’s contradictions—between inherited models and contemporary norms—through subtle staging and concentrated performances. Marjolaine Minot and Guillaume Prin embody the emotional shifts with delicate nuance, drawing the audience into a relational interior where choices, desire and restraint collide.

Balades Théâtralisées – From One Shore to the Other

Outdoor Performances

Centre-Ville

Balades Théâtralisées invites audiences on an outdoor theatrical promenade that uncovers hidden city histories through staged scenes in natural settings. The troupe blends guided narration with short dramatic tableaux, favouring emotional resonance over strict historical reenactment. Soundscapes and simple lighting sculpt nocturnal and intimate atmospheres, while performers shift between storytelling and embodiment. The route alternates between the company’s traditional itinerary and a new underground-themed walk, creating a layered experience of memory, surprise and communal discovery.

La Table d’Amour

Performances

Théâtre Saint-Gervais

An introspective monologue for multiple voices, La Table d’Amour is a poetic theatrical immersion inspired by a Tinos island tradition. Performed by Manon Krüttli and Jeanne De Mont, the piece follows Manon Krüttli’s journey between autobiography, fiction and dreamlike reverie. It probes questions of living together, reconciliation and the role of conviviality as an artistic gesture, creating an intimate, sensory staging that favors lyricism and shared presence.

The Other Place

Performances

La Comédie de Genève

Directed by Alexander Zeldin, The Other Place is a contemporary reading of Antigone that carves a tragic family drama out of everyday life. On the anniversary of their father’s death, two estranged sisters confront memories, renovation works and an uncle determined to move on. With Jerry Killick among the cast and a strikingly realistic scenography, the production exposes hidden violences, irreconcilable trajectories and raw emotional fractures in a finely observed, tense staging.

Les Esprits

Performances

Conservatoire de Musique de Genève

Les Esprits invites listeners to discover resonances between words, music and ideas in moments of attentive listening and exchange. Each evening focuses on a contemporary writer whose work maintains a special relationship with music: the author reads selected texts while artist‑teachers perform complementary musical pieces. Readings are followed by a convivial conversation with the audience over a drink, opening perspectives on themes, inspirations and the creative interplay between literature and sound.
