Situated in Carouge, the Théâtre des Amis is an intimate theatre with a program that seamlessly blends theatre and music. The venue boasts a rich and eclectic schedule, featuring plays, stand-up comedy, Sunday morning classical music concerts, and Thursday evening musical performances.
Adapted and performed by Felipe Castro, this solo staging probes the absurdity of war, murderous nationalism and the raw misery at the heart of Céline’s writing. Coach José Lillo supports a performance of muscular, visceral language while Natacha Jaquerod’s set, Rinaldo Del Boca’s lighting and Jean Faravel’s sound sculpt stark, claustrophobic atmospheres. The production balances brutal imagery with moments of surprising humanity, revealing the author’s vocation as a doctor through an intimate, relentless theatrical journey.

Performed by Sarcloret, this musiquethéâtre piece blends song and spoken reflection to trace Bob Dylan’s imprint on quality Swiss French songwriting. The artist alternates original fragments and brief commentary, mapping motifs of lyricism, narrative voice and cultural exchange. Staging is kept spare to focus on vocal colour and textual resonance, crafting an intimate, inquisitive atmosphere that reframes familiar songs as living documents of influence.

Revived by director Ninon Fachard after the original staging by Véronique Ros de la Grange, this solo piece stars Jacques Michel with Caroline Gasser as the prompter. Lighting by Rinaldo Del Boca and music by Alain Lamarche carve intimate, shadowed spaces around a red sequined curtain. Makeup by Natalia Lepianka and costumes by Emilie Revel shape the fading glamour of a music‑hall star who soliloquises, recalls past glory and loss, and sings in playback—an inward plunge toward memory and survival.
