The Théâtre Forum Meyrin is known for its diverse and dynamic programming, offering a range of performances, including theater, dance, music, and interdisciplinary arts. It plays an important role in supporting the local arts scene and caters to audiences of all ages.
Photographer Léonie Rose Marion presents a long-term photographic inquiry into the relationship between people and the land. This exhibition gathers documentary images and in‑situ portraits that document those who work the soil around Meyrin, focusing on agricultural practices, gestures and material traces. Through stark, intimate portraits and contextual landscapes, Marion maps the social and territorial fabric that binds inhabitants to the living world. The series examines intergenerational knowledge, everyday labour and the networks of care that sustain local ecologies.
Pling-Klang is a physical theatre duo by Étienne Manceau and Mathieu Despoisse that turns the iconic IKEA KALLAX shelf into a mischievous stage partner. Building furniture becomes an acrobatic and comic ritual: screws are tightened and loosened, objects are juggled and bodies find precarious balance. Through precise object manipulation, deadpan humour and inventive acrobatics, the piece reveals the small catastrophes and tender compromises of couple life, combining slapstick with intimate emotion.

Performed by Vincent Kucholl as the cult figure Reto Zenhäusern and directed by Vincent Veillon, this multimedia lecture-show dissects human motives with chilly wit. Presenting himself alternately as economist, sociologist and anthropologist, the character delivers a rigorously deadpan analysis of work, consumerism and the aesthetics of poverty. The staging combines spoken monologue, visual media and precise timing to turn black humour into a probing critique of neoliberalism and collective myths.

Choreographed by Riyad Fghani and performed by Pockemon Crew, this visceral hip‑hop performance transforms micro‑gestures of daily screen use into an explosive, nervous and vibrant physical language. Under shifting lights and layered projections, bodies collide, sync and dissolve in flows that mirror our connected lives. The piece blends precise street technique with theatrical staging and immersive visuals, inviting a moment of collective attention and presence through rigorous choreography and electric ensemble energy.
The Minor Sing quartet unveils Éléphant, a fresh take on modern gypsy swing where string virtuosity meets sharp humour. Afterwards, legendary guitarist Angelo Debarre joins singer Anne Sila for an intimate musical dialogue that blurs jazz, chanson and improvisation. Their collaboration merges the Django Reinhardt heritage with pop sensibilities and poetic phrasing, offering two complementary faces of the same passion: spontaneous interplay, melodic liberty and a warm, theatrical atmosphere.
Choreographed by Laurence Yadi and performed by Compagnie 7273, Silahkan invites audiences into a fluid, hypnotic dance inspired by Balinese ritual and imagery. Objects and fabrics transform into shifting landscapes as precise, undulating gestures create a continuous calligraphic movement. The piece unfolds as a gentle trance, balancing intimate metamorphosis and communal generosity, offering a poetic exploration of presence and welcome. Accessible to young audiences, its delicate staging transforms dance into a universal language.
