Bulles d’automne: The Ninth Art Live

Free, Booking Required

Author and performer Dora Formica presents a drawn performance that probes the impact of artificial intelligence on artistic creation. Drawing live while a layered soundscape unfolds, she weaves personal testimony collected from illustrators, comic creators and graphic designers across Switzerland and Europe into a reflective narrative. The work balances quiet observation and sudden visual flourishes, inviting intimate encounters with the questions of authorship, technique and empathy at the heart of contemporary image-making.

L’agenda des tentacules

Performances

Théâtre du Grütli

Five bodies in a landscape of ash prepare for what they do not yet know. Guided by cephalopod imagery, the performers move between intention and intuition, thought and sensation. This optimistic piece probes our anxieties while championing collective resilience and childish wonder. The choreography blends precise ensemble composition with impulsive, instinctive gestures, creating intimate, atmospheric tableaux. Lighting and sound sculpt a fragile, shifting world that invites viewers into a shared experience of uncertainty and hope.

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.

Apéropéra — About Company

Performances

Théâtre Les Salons

Presented as a prelude to the opening of Company, this Apéropéra offers an intimate journey through the golden age of Broadway. Soprano Sarah Pagin and pianist Jamal Moqadem trace emotional contours from Chicago to Cabaret, pausing on the intricate textures of Stephen Sondheim. The programme balances theatrical flair with nuanced vocal expression, supported by a pared-back piano accompaniment and attentive phrasing, creating an evening that feels both nostalgic and vividly present.

La Parabole du Seum

Performances

La Comédie de Genève

Directed, written and performed by Rébecca Chaillon, La Parabole du Seum unfolds as a contemporary tale inspired by Seine‑Saint‑Denis, Martinique and New Orleans. The piece blends fiction, narration and hybrid beliefs, using ritual and performative gestures as tools of survival and resistance for minoritised communities. On stage, Chaillon invents utopian spaces to forge new myths and imagine possible futures, combining intimate storytelling with powerful collective imagery.

Vous avez les mêmes en 38 ?

Performances

Le Poche

Directed and performed by Eve Aouizerate, Amours subversives stages a wry, intimate interrogation of gender and desire. With performers Mathilde Lyon and Dylan Poletti, the piece pivots on a provocative premise — a young woman’s decision to abandon a nascent career for the tradwife ideal — and unfolds as a personal theatrical essay on power, intimacy and the contradictions of femininity in 2026. Sparse staging and candid narration create a fierce, tender atmosphere.

Where Is Everybody?

Performances

La Comédie de Genève

Choreographed by Thomas Hauert and performed by three dancers from ZOO and three from Platform K, Where Is Everybody? explores a shared, non-hierarchical stage language rooted in improvisation and mutual gaze. The piece invites performers and spectators to dance, look and reposition themselves through moments of unpredictability, creativity and embodied presence. Sparse staging and responsive interactions foreground the living immediacy of movement, producing an atmosphere at once intimate, playful and searching.
