Nestled in the Quartier des Grottes, just behind Geneva’s train station, the small Théâtre des Grottes primarily serves as a platform for young theater companies and associations embarking on their maiden projects in the realms of performing arts, storytelling, narration, and performance.
Written by E.-E. Schmitt, La Tectonique des Sentiments probes how love can turn to hatred in an instant. The plot follows Diane and Richard as imagined betrayals unleash seismic emotional shifts, toppling certainties and stirring violent tenderness. The piece balances sharp comedy and quiet cruelty, dissecting contradictions of desire through intimate exchanges and sudden tremors of feeling. The staging favors psychological clarity and a charged, oscillating atmosphere that leaves the audience unsettled and moved.

Written by Isabelle Mergault, this comedy unfolds as a darkly comic study of infidelity, mistaken intentions and unexpected solidarity. Gigi is hired by her lover to kill his wife, but when she meets the vulnerable Barbara a fragile friendship forms that upends the plan. The play balances sharp dialogue and tender moments, alternating farce and intimacy, while the quartet cast navigates moral ambiguity with warmth and sly humour.
