3 – 6 September

Written, directed and performed by Adrien Buensod and Maxence Marmy, Le vol des mouettes is an absurd tragicomedy about isolation and the ritualisation of bureaucracy. Two government agents stranded on a remote island decode confidential messages as routine and procedure acquire surreal weight. Actor director Martine Corthésy shapes the performers’ delicate balance between precision and bewilderment; Lam Do sculpts the world with spare lighting and technical design. The piece unfolds with dark humour and lingering unease, attentive to timing and silence.

In French.

11 – 13 September

Soundtrack: Finding Home blends song, staged movement and spoken monologue to trace the fragile journey of a newcomer to Geneva. Performed by a mix of professional and amateur artists, the piece navigates doubt, joy and the search for belonging through intimate vocal textures and choreographed tableaux. The city is imagined as a living presence that answers and challenges the protagonist, while lighting and sound sketches create shifting atmospheres, moving from disorientation to tentative connection.

In French.

8 – 17 October

Based on sketches by Devos, Ribes, Sylvie Joly, Palmade and Martinez, this theatrical revue sketches the comic microcosm of apartment life. Short scenes expose domestic tensions — marital rows, overwhelmed parents, an unpredictable grandmother and holiday disasters — with sharp observational wit and precise farcical timing. The ensemble slips into vivid characters, combining spoken comedy and physical nuance to reveal tenderness beneath the chaos, offering a warm, incisive portrait of neighbours and family.

In French.

10 – 20 December

Adieu je reste is a sharply comic theatre piece about two women who, betrayed by the same man, forge an unexpected bond. The staging favours intimate domestic detail and brisk, character-driven dialogue, exploring deception, loyalty and female solidarity with warmth and wit. Sparse set and focused performances underline moments of humour and revelation, shifting between farce and tender insight.

In French.
