Located in Plan-les-Ouates, L’Espace Vélodrome is a performance venue with a varied program. It hosts a diverse range of events, from theater performances to live concerts, and children’s shows.
Swiss composer Yael Miller blends voice and analogue synthesizers to create an intimate, cinematic pop world. Inspired by superheroes and poetry, her latest album Fairuz (March 2025) explores the many faces of love — passion, romantic friendships, separation, pressures around motherhood and fleeting moments — through Hebrew, English and French vocals. On stage she weaves electronic textures with brass, drums and bass to evoke dreamlike, orientally inflected atmospheres. Opening acts: Laure Betris and Yann Hunziker reinterpret Swiss vocal traditions and endangered languages.
A diptych of two linked plays, this evening mixes sharp family comedy with tragi‑comic romance. In the first piece, a stand‑up’s return to a tense mother’s celebration unsettles an apparently ordinary gathering, letting repressed resentments surface in a cruel yet liberating crescendo. The second instalment follows the same characters five years later in a frantic race to prevent a wedding, blending farce and melancholic reflection. The staging favours intimate ensemble interactions and wry observational humour, in the vein of Agnès Jaoui and Jean‑Pierre Bacri.
