Dr. Watson & The Lawdy Mamas

Led by pianist and singer Dennis Watson, the Dr. Watson Band revisits blues and rock through soulful vocals and piano-driven arrangements. The quartet — Dennis Watson (piano, vocals), Alain Niederhauser (guitar, vocals), Luc Schuwey (bass) and Pascal Jean (drums) — blends originals from the album “Welcome to the World” with covers by Freddie King, Muddy Waters, the Allman Brothers and Jimi Hendrix. Sharing the bill, The Lawdy Mamas — four Geneva-based women — channel raw Southern blues and 1970s rock, delivering high-energy, road-worn guitar-driven performances.

Je ne suis pas Johnny is a theatrical exploration of identity, memory and the weight of cultural myth. Combining intimate staging, physical sensitivity and moments of dark humour, the piece unsettles familiar narratives and invites audiences to reconsider how personas are constructed and performed. Sparse lighting and a fluid rhythm shape an intense, close-up experience, where silence and gesture reveal hidden tensions and unexpected tenderness.

22 September – 29 November

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.

Choreographed by Trajal Harrell, M2M reimagines a crossing of postmodern Judson Church minimalism with the exuberant voguing balls of Harlem. Conceived for three dancers, the piece fuses formal restraint and performative flamboyance, foregrounding jazz, funk and R&B inflections within an improvisational dance language. Harrell’s staging negotiates historical narrative and speculative fiction, shifting between precise postmodern phrasing and vivid gesture to evoke community, desire and the politics of movement.

25 September – 18 October

For his final production as a theatre director, Jean Liermier revisits Tennessee Williams’s autobiographical classic about memory, longing and family. Set in the 1930s American South, the staging gathers a company around Laura, here embodied by Aurélia Thierrée, with Cyprien Colombo, David Gobet and Clotilde Mollet completing the ensemble. Liermier’s direction emphasises fragile interiors and poetic movement, offering a liberating, weightless atmosphere that balances tenderness and uneasy nostalgia.
