Théâtre LE POCHE is an intimate Old Town theatre in Genève dedicated to contemporary playwriting and new creations. It programs bold, text-driven performances by living authors, hosting local and regional productions in a compact, engaged space that fosters dialogue between artists and audiences and supports experimental theatrical approaches.
Performed and directed by Eve Aouizerate, this incisive solo creation blends autofiction and faux stand-up to turn fairy-tale promises into a sharp satire. Using humour and precise stagecraft, Aouizerate interrogates reactionary online imaginaries and the contemporary allure of tradwives, exposing tensions between domestic idealisation and feminist inheritance. The piece mixes intimate confession, comic timing and critical observation to probe identity, boredom and the pressures shaping women’s lives.

Directed and performed by Eve Aouizerate, Amours subversives stages a wry, intimate interrogation of gender and desire. With performers Mathilde Lyon and Dylan Poletti, the piece pivots on a provocative premise — a young woman’s decision to abandon a nascent career for the tradwife ideal — and unfolds as a personal theatrical essay on power, intimacy and the contradictions of femininity in 2026. Sparse staging and candid narration create a fierce, tender atmosphere.

Adapted freely from Maryse Condé and Emily Brontë, this theatrical adaptation follows Razyé and Cathy across three generations in a post-emancipation Guadeloupe. Directed by Anne Monfort, the production probes themes of racism, passion, pride, social violence, vengeance and fatalism through a visceral, rhythmic staging. The ensemble uses sparse, evocative design and intense physical interplay to reveal how inherited trauma shapes desire and retribution.

Directed by Lou Ciszewski, Amours enfouies follows three performers — Françoise Paca Gautier, Liv Van Thuyne and Pascale Vachoux — as they excavate the memory of a vanished summer cabaret. Blending ritual, live music (Léon Boesch, Romane Chantre, Alexis Gfeller) and emotional archaeology, Anna Popek’s set and Luc Gendroz’s lighting bring back ghosts and overlooked fragments. A sensitive, poetic piece about the traces of the past and the emergence of an unexpected new bond.

Amours impossibles follows a cross-border couple: she holds a passport and freedom of movement, he remains confined to the Palestinian territories where he was born. Valentine Sergo’s text and Laure Hirsig’s direction weave intimate scenes of travel, checkpoints and urgent messages into a meta-theatrical reflection on authorship. Wissam Arbache and Valentine Sergo embody a love shaped by geopolitics, while an enigmatic grandmother figure evokes collective memory and mischief through the performance’s layered storytelling.
In French.
Amours puissantes stages an intimate, poetic exploration of inherited memory and female lineage. Martine Corbat’s staging traces the collision between Lola Cam and a visiting novelist through delicate objects and ruptured secrets. The cast — Charlotte Filou, Paola Pagani, Dylan Poletti and Lola Riccaboni — inhabits a layered, physical dramaturgy supported by live composition from Julien Israelian and Pierre Omer and live video by Camille de Pietro. Scenic design by Anna Popek, with lighting (Charlotte Curchod, Laurent Schaer), sound (Michael Seabra), costumes (Irène Schlatter) and art accessories (Judith Dubois).
