29 – 30 September

Swiss comedian Thomas Wiesel returns with his fifth solo show, Société écrans, a sharp, observational set that dissects our screen addiction across generations. He confesses spending nearly eight hours a day under blue light and turns his own digital habits into comic material—searches that spiral, headline overload and endless sports clips. Between fake news, TikTok dances and artificial intelligence, Wiesel mixes irony and self-mockery to expose modern anxieties, delivering a pointed, fast-paced performance with assured timing.

Join Gaëtan on a colorful, chaotic family show where a singer and his ukulele face a thousand surprises. When the concert starts, everything goes awry, and the theatre director and the concierge improvise costumes, music and even disco balls to keep the show alive. Between songs, gags and tender moments, the clever staging invites laughter and gentle reflection as children explore resilience and imagination.

Fatoumata Diawara blends traditional Malian Wassoulou music with contemporary electronic and pop textures on her new album Massa. Her intense voice and hypnotic energy carry songs that explore origins, national history and personal memory, addressing themes of family, motherhood and resilience while advocating for women’s rights and peace. The single Djanne fuses ancestral rhythms with modern production, and Diawara’s performance invites a vibrant, danceable journey that celebrates identity and remembrance.

Thursday 29 October, 20:00

Revealed in 2009 by the hit « Like a Hobo », Charlie Winston, the most francophile of British singers, presents a unique solo acoustic evening. After seventeen years with his band he strips his songs back, offering intimate, raw and tender interpretations of his best-known tracks alongside rare or never-before-played pieces and songs from his sixth album Love Ain’t Easy. The performance balances emotion and surprise, with spontaneous interactions and a contagious energy that brings the artist close to his audience.

Wednesday 4 November, 20:00

Xavier Guelfi presents an intimate solo performance in which he embodies a clumsy, naive coach of happiness. Raised near Onex and known for film and stage roles, Guelfi greets the audience from a kitchen transformed into a timeless cocoon. With poetic physicality and Arlequin-like charm, he mixes gentle humour and existential reflection, inviting the public to dream and to reclaim faith in humanity. A suspended, comforting utopia that soothes and amuses.

Tuesday 17 November, 20:00

Written by Aïda Asgharzadeh and directed by Nikola Carton, Le Dernier Cèdre du Liban traces Eva’s search for identity through the discovery of her mother’s wartime audio recordings. The intimate drama, performed by three committed actors, juxtaposes personal memory and collective history with a spare, minimalist set and a subtle play of light that transports the audience across time and place. The piece moves without melodrama, balancing tenderness and shock.
