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.
Performed by Françoise Courvoisier (voice), pianist and composer Moncef Genoud, and saxophonist Valentin Conus, this project sets Henri Michaux’s poems against a sensual jazz soundscape. Genoud’s original compositions and borrowed motifs intertwine with Courvoisier’s vocal phrasing and Conus’s supple saxophone, leaving space for improvisation. The piece explores memory, fragility and shifting ground through fragmented text and elastic musical lines, creating an intimate, dreamlike atmosphere where language and music open doors to the imagination.
