Sunday 5 July, 14:00

Gather for a lively reading and creative workshop inspired by Inès El Shikh’s Petit Tajine. Mélissa Catoquessa reads the tale of Souad’s first visit to her grandparents in Morocco, where a talking tajine guides her through family memories and culinary traditions. After the story children explore food, feelings and family through a custom colouring booklet and hands-on activities that encourage expression and cultural pride. Author presence possible.

In French. Kids ages 6 and up.

8 – 12 July

Co-created by Primala Casse, La Cantine de Nasreddine stages a mobile kitchen as a theatrical set where cooking and storytelling intertwine. Three performers — Sophie Lebrun, Redwan Reys and Atakan Tan — inhabit new incarnations of Nasreddine Hodja, turning everyday situations into unexpected twists that reveal quiet wisdom. Vicky Althaus’s lighting and an intimate, communal mise en scène frame moments of humour, ritual and shared eating, inviting audiences into a warm, inventive collective experience.

In French.

Friday 10 July, 23:00

Jô is a Luso‑Brazilian singer-songwriter who blends reggae, rap and Brazilian rhythms into a warm, groove-driven sound. Based in Geneva, she has quickly made a mark on the local scene with intimate, charismatic performances and socially engaged lyrics. Her music balances sensual melodies, rhythmic buoyancy and sharp lyrical themes, inviting listeners into a reflective yet danceable world. This production is presented in collaboration with Oca Arts; YouTube and Spotify links are available on the artist page.

Saturday 11 July, 21:00

Imarhan, from Timbuktu, channels the Saharan blues with hypnotic electric guitars and interwoven vocal dialogues. Led by singer-guitarist Iyad Moussa Ben Abderahmane (Sadam), with Tahar Khaldi on bass, Hicham Bouhasse on drums and guitar, Abdelkader Ourzig on guitar and Haiballah Akhamouk on percussion, their music blends traditional Tuareg riffs with rock and contemporary textures. Long spiralling riffs and patient rhythms evoke travel, landscapes and communal bonds; Imarhan—‘those who love each other’—creates an expansive, wind-swept atmosphere.

15 – 26 July

Directed by Valeria Bertolotto, Faire Hamlet! stages a company wrestling with performance and truth as rehearsals of Shakespeare’s prince unravel private tensions. Pierre Banderet, Dylan Poletti and an intergenerational ensemble confront doubt, jealousy and shifting identities while Angèle Colas provides artistic collaboration. Sound by Fred Jarabo, scenography by Fanny Courvoisier, lights by Alessandra Domingues and costumes by Eléonore Cassaigneau shape an intimate, unstable world where fiction bleeds into life.

In French.
