LES 7 PÉCHÉS CAPITAUX

Adapted from the score of Kurt Weill and text by Bertolt Brecht, this condensed staging presents Véronique Valdès (mezzo-soprano), Françoise Courvoisier (narrator) and Nicolas Le Roy (piano) in a tense, music-theatre portrait of exile and commerce. Two sisters named Anna traverse an America at once real and imagined, probing the divide between performance and personhood. The text is concise and often provocative; the score remains intoxicatingly beautiful, its haunting melodies framed here by a focused chamber staging. Presented by Les Amis musiquethéâtre.

7 – 18 October

Rien is a poetic, clownish exploration of the human condition performed through table puppets and object theatre. Performed and manipulated by Aurélie Gourvès and Délia Sartor, the piece stages themes of possession, authority, false beliefs, rivalry, fear of the void and boredom with a minimal scenography by Henry Castres. Assistants Cristina Iosif and François Accard support the staging, while Émile Parisien provides the music. A tender, comic and slightly melancholic show for audiences from six years.

Directed by Rebecca Stella and adapted with Danielle Barthélemy, Cendrillon blends classic fairy-tale drama with manga-inspired staging. Pili Loop’s original score, Mathieu Courtaillier’s lighting and the set by Camille Ansquer shape a vivid, contemporary universe. Costumes by Alice Toutev and Sonia Bosc and choreography by Léon add playful movement and character. Anthony Surleraux’s video projections and graphics expand the tale’s visual world, pairing tradition with modern theatrical textures.

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.

14 – 24 October

Directed by Elidan Arzoni, this fiery, hilarious staging of Yasmina Reza’s play follows two couples whose polite attempt to resolve a quarrel between their sons collapses into a savage verbal carnage. Performers Sophie Broustal, Vincent Jacquet, Camille Édith Bouzaglo and Frédéric Landenberg unleash sharp, tightly wound exchanges, while Benoît Delaunay’s scenography and Hervé Broillet’s costumes frame escalating social fractures. Danielle Milovic’s lighting and meticulous stagecraft intensify a darkly comic exploration of civility, hypocrisy and unleashed instincts.

Led by conductor Frédéric Théodoloz, the Brass Band Arquebuse Genève presents a benefit programme juxtaposing the sombre textures of Shostakovich with Mendelssohn’s lyrical clarity, featuring soloist Kevin Buchard, and the pictorial sweep of Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition. The band’s brass sonorities and precise rhythmic drive transform orchestral colours into a vivid soundscape, alternating intimate murmurs and brilliant fanfares. The evening unfolds as a cinematic journey, balancing muscular power with moments of surprising intimacy. Concert in favor of diabète genève.
