Porteous is an association-run socio-cultural venue housed in a former brutalist wastewater treatment plant on the Rhône in Vernier. Since its 2018 occupation it offers experimental artistic programming, collective building projects, workshops, concerts and public discussions. The site combines participatory renovation, mediation and grassroots cultural activities within an industrial, non-commercial setting.
Le train, directed by Joséphine de Weck and produced by Opus 89, stages a tense solo journey of a woman fleeing a controlling relationship. The text, breathless and fragmentary, follows her search for refuge as it probes longing, codependence and the politics of care. The staging is intimate and sensory, combining sparse language with live sound. The programme also includes a writing workshop and a concert by L’Amour du ciel.
