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.

In French.

Je ne suis pas Johnny

Performances

Théâtre Alchimic

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.

Company

Performances

BFM

Music and songs by Stephen Sondheim with a libretto by George Furth and a French translation by Stéphane Laporte. This intimate, razor-sharp musical follows Robert (Bobby), a charming New Yorker confronting bachelorhood, friendship and the compromises of coupledom. The production blends incisive lyrics, lively choreography and a close ensemble cast to reveal joyful neuroses, hidden desires and fragile bonds. The staging alternates warmth and irony, inviting reflection on love, loneliness and the elusive art of staying together.

Sung in English; dialogues in French.

La Ménagerie de verre

Performances

Théâtre de Carouge

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.

M2M — Trajal Harrell

Performances

Le Commun

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.
