BFM

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.

Partition of the Future – Squared

Performances

Plaine de Plainpalais

At the crossroads of theatre, mixed reality and technological installation, this immersive performance invites audiences to test the machine built by a scientist to tackle existential problems. Wearing mixed-reality headsets, spectators collectively explore the chaotic inner world of a person trapped by indecision. The experience moves between human vulnerability and artificial intelligence, until the machine itself begins to falter in the face of what it cannot fully understand.

Le Petit Prince

Performances

Théâtre de Carouge

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.

In French and Mandarin.

Toutes les femmes sont des aliens

Performances

Théâtre du Grütli

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.

In French.
