Located on the banks of the Arve in a repurposed former perfume factory, La Parfumerie is a versatile cultural space co-managed by three independent theater and dance companies. It is primarily dedicated to the productions of its resident companies and the hosting of local troupes. The venue also serves as a space for theater and dance workshops for young people. During the summer, the outdoor terrace hosts regular cultural activities and performances.
A theatrical, musical and visual voyage into the heart of the Mediterranean, Poésidonia brings together forty actors, singers and musicians in a vibrant chorus. Their stories speak of solidarity, exile, hope and resistance, carried by poetry, music and voices from across the world. Around the performance, concerts extend the encounter, while an exhibition of photographs and illustrations adds further visual perspectives.

On Tuesday, November 10, the duo Vocal Cheese will be delighted to share their traditional annual reunion concert. For 15 years, Vicky and Meret have been singing songs from the Alps and the shores of Greece, Italy, Occitania and Bulgaria, occasionally venturing into Latin America or adding an original composition of their own.
The joy of savouring these songs, gathered along the way through encounters and shared experiences, shines through in arrangements that pay tribute to these traditions while reflecting the performers’ own hybrid, itinerant lives. Expect rooted folk music with a subversive edge when needed — and it is needed — delivered with humour and tenderness.
Meret Mohr Millner — vocals, guitar; Vicky Papailiou — vocals, accordion
Meet Cinderella in a rock, rap and pop retelling that gives the classic tale a pulsing new beat. Kept working by her stepmother and shut out of the celebrations, she dreams of freedom and independence. Onstage, this determined heroine finds her voice and follows her own path, while a love story rises above cruelty. Music, movement and acting bring the familiar story to life in a lively adventure to watch, hear and feel.
In French. Kids ages 7 and up.
Double Jeu is a sharp, playful improvisation show built around strategy, split-second choices and mutual misdirection. Each performer receives a secret mission and must weave it discreetly into the action, turning every scene into a live game of influence, bluff and comic escalation. The result is fast, unpredictable theatre where the ensemble’s timing, listening and inventiveness keep the audience guessing until the very last exchange.

“Nazali Elikya” means “I am hope”: a phrase that places hope at the heart of this theatrical encounter. The work’s title opens a space for reflection on what it means to hold on to possibility, and on the quiet strength carried by such a declaration. With its French subtitle, the production invites audiences to approach hope not as an abstract idea, but as a human presence to contemplate and share.

Siku is a performance by Cie Tita8lou, presented under its original title. With no further production details available, the work is best approached through the live encounter itself: the title offers a point of departure, while the performance gives shape to its own artistic world. Rather than presupposing a story or style, this description leaves room for the work to speak on its own terms and for each audience member to form a personal response.
