Situated in a recently constructed space above the new Gare des Eaux-Vives, La Comédie de Genève is a distinguished theatrical institution housing two theaters equipped with high-quality technical facilities. It hosts a wide range of performances, from classical to contemporary works, and is not limited to theater alone, often featuring dance, conferences, workshops, and collaborations with festivals.
Nos paysages mineurs is a poetic exploration of a love story compressed into a one-hour train ride, set in the 1970s. It follows the intertwining lives of Liliane and Paul over seven years, unfolding with cinematic undertones and accompanied by music from cellist Vincent Ségal. The play reflects on the passage of time and life’s fleeting moments. En finir avec leur histoire revisits the couple sixteen years after their breakup, focusing on their child, Paul’s artistic failure, and Liliane’s personal battles. Marc Lainé’s two plays, combining theater and cinema, offer a tender portrait of the “boomer” generation, blending intimacy and political reflection, and can be experienced together for a deeper emotional journey.

Yann Marussich presents his latest performance “Corps Manquant” at La Comédie de Genève during the Out of the Box Festival – Biennale of Inclusive Arts. This work explores themes of amputation, absence, and the dignity of those affected by landmines in Mozambique. Marussich uses his own body to challenge the boundaries between body and mind, seen and unseen. Following the performance, there will be a discussion with the artist and a panel session. The event also features screenings of video performances, an artistic workshop for amputees, and an exhibition of graphic artworks.
Alongside Yann Marussich’s performance “Corps Manquant,” the Comédie de Genève is hosting an evening featuring video performances created in Mozambique with videographer Ivan Barros. These videos, developed through intensive workshops with six individuals who are amputees, symbolically explore themes of loss and the reclamation of the body. By blending visual poetry with silent suffering, they provide participants with a unique way to inhabit their bodies and share their stories beyond borders.
La Spire is an aerial performance featuring five acrobats suspended seven meters above the ground, moving along a monumental yet delicate spiral created by Chloé Moglia. As they ascend, time seems to suspend itself, drawing the audience into a hypnotic, gravity-defying experience. Set against the sky and the green hues of Parc La Grange, this performance blends weightlessness and gravity, creating a dreamlike atmosphere as dusk falls. The acrobats, with their impressive physicality, navigate the air with grace, confronting the void, while the live sound of a saxophone adds a layer of depth to the spectacle. La Spire captivates with its strength, precision, and beauty, leaving the audience enchanted.
