2 – 3 September

Philippe Macasdar, a leading figure of Geneva’s theatre scene, presents a creation shaped by a lifetime of curiosity and passion. Through storytelling, archival material, playful digressions and inhabited texts, he offers a vivid, sensitive traversal of Geneva, exploring its intellectual memory, its paradoxes and its discreet yet vast influence. The presentation investigates how personal narratives and cultural archives can reveal the city’s identity and resonance.

Wednesday 2 September, 20:00

Led by singer and bassist Soraya Berent, pianist and keyboardist Michel Wintsch and drummer-percussionist Samuel Jakubec, WabjieCH blends diverse sonic trajectories at the edges of jazz. Their pieces unfold through gradual shifts: sounds change scale, contours blur and textures migrate between instruments and electronics. Resonances and timbres interweave to form cinematic, continuous soundscapes where gestures extend and surprises emerge. Precise yet open, their music invites attentive listening and discovery of subtle transformations.

3 – 5 September

Otis Thaïs Martin performs a solo trapeze piece that turns acrobatic balance into a metaphor for living with anxiety. On a rigging that oscillates and resists, Martin mixes aerial performance, spoken testimony and musical improvisation by Camille Garcia‑Rennes to explore exhaustion, survival strategies and the tenderness of queer kinship. Formerly associated with L’Abri, the artist transforms the stage into a political space for collective care and witness, crafting moments of tension that open onto surprising tenderness and fragile joy.

In French.

4 – 5 September

Choreographer Soa Ratsifandrihana and singer-performer Bonnie Banane form a striking duo in this hybrid performance that blends dance, music and live art. Performed on moving treadmills, the piece counters bodily numbness and image saturation with movement, play, metamorphosis and wry humour. Identities shift, roles blur and voices intertwine, producing a poetic pop energy and robust choreographic force. Vulnerability becomes a resource that rekindles imagination and collective feeling.

In English.

Saturday 5 September, 22:00

Bonnie Banane blends elegance, self-mockery and surprise in a uniquely unpredictable pop-chanson-R&B universe. Trained in theatre, she treats the concert as playful staging: every song becomes a character, each entrance a small mise-en-scène. Her magnetic charisma, sharp groove and candid humour bring both emotional depth and whimsical flair. For this evening she appears accompanied on piano by longtime collaborator Joseph Schiano di Lombo; together they released the adventurous 2025 album Orguasme.
