Directed by Jean Bellorini in collaboration with Yang Hua Theatre, this staging reimagines Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s Le Petit Prince with the title character portrayed by a Chinese actor. The production blends French and Mandarin dialogue with live music by singers from China’s independent scene. Actors François Deblock and Marc Plas perform alongside a cast that shifts between a childlike prince, an ancient reciter of poems and fantastical cosmic inhabitants. The staging mixes song, poetry and intimate theatricality, exploring friendship and human connection.

Told as a solo performance, this piece follows a woman as she remembers the films that shaped her life and blurs the line between cinema and memory. Through references to science-fiction sagas and cinematic archetypes — the woman-soldier, the survivor, the reluctant mother — the show probes identity, fear of change and the ways stories migrate from screen to skin. Sparse staging and intimate narration create a haunting, introspective atmosphere.

Blandine Lehout brings a frank, funny stand-up evening that mines motherhood, couple life and the strains of new parenthood with biting wit and self-mockery. Between sharp one-liners and candid storytelling she confronts loss of a past life, appetite and body-image jokes, and rebellious impulses toward moralizers and partners. The show blends autobiographical detail with cynical humor and warm audience rapport to create an unfiltered, liberating comic experience.

Created and performed by Elina Kulikova and Dima Efremov, TRILOGIE DE LA GUERRE interweaves three musical-performance pieces responding to exile, the war in Ukraine and repression in Russia. Kulikova’s chapters evoke classical and folk song, transforming lament into a ritualised, sensory mourning; Efremov’s contribution uses sound art and electro textures to shift perspective and map clandestine networks of resistance. Together the trilogy forms a compact dramaturgy of intimacy, unease and fragile hope, immersive and politically charged.
La Revue Genevoise returns for its 134th edition, blending sharp satire with music, dance and theatrical sketches. A lively ensemble navigates topical scenes that mix wit and social critique, supported by inventive choreography, musical arrangements and fluid staging. The production alternates fast-paced comedy and reflective moments, offering a polished, communal portrait of contemporary Geneva life told through song, movement and comic timing.
