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.

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.

Swiss-Italian comedian Massimo Rocchi returns to celebrate fifty years on stage with Et du coup, blending comedy, mime and satire. Trained in theatre in Bologna and in mime in Paris, he dissects everyday Swiss life and languages with sharp, playful observation. His mastery of physical expression, poetic gestures and taste for the absurd promise abundant laughter and thoughtful distance on social quirks. The performance balances engaged humour and subtle theatricality, delivered by a seasoned and distinctive stage artist.

Tuesday 19 January, 20:00

Based on interviews between Gisèle Halimi and journalist Annick Cojean, this intense biographical play traces the tireless life of the lawyer and activist. Directed by Léna Paugam, the staging relies on two actresses who embody Halimi and other women, delivering powerful testimony through intimate performance, sculpted lighting and precise direction. Themes of feminist struggle, anti-racism and opposition to torture resonate throughout, offering an emotionally charged portrait that invites reflection and commitment.

Sunday 24 January, 16:00

Written by François Descraques and set to music by composer PV NOVA, Fabuleux! is a lyrical musical inspired by a true story. Through the eyes of young Henry Dickens, enchanted shadow-puppet sequences and intimate songs bring Hans Christian Andersen’s tales to life. The staging blends nostalgic domestic scenes with playful, fairy-tale atmospheres, tracing a boy’s emotional journey as imagination becomes a source of inner strength and growth.
