A Breath of Spring — Orchestre de Lancy-Genève

Performances

Booking Required

Conducted by Roberto Sawicki, the Lancy‑Geneva Orchestra joins the Chorale du Châble under Eliane Gruaz with soloists Anna Orlik (violin) and Kamil Mukhametdinov (cello). The programme juxtaposes Smetana’s intimate ‘From My Life’ excerpts and the buoyant ‘Dance of the Comedians’ with Dvořák’s lyrical Romance and a playful cello Rondo. Choral settings by Michael Haydn, César Franck and Karl Jenkins sit alongside popular songs from Asia and Latin America, creating a vivid, celebratory soundworld rich in rhythmic vitality and nuanced lyricism.

Le Tartuffe

Performances

Théâtre de Carouge

Molière’s Tartuffe tells the story of a slick con-man who hides behind ostentatious piety to worm his way into the wealthy Orgon household. Orgon, dazzled by Tartuffe’s sanctimonious rhetoric, defends him even as the impostor’s hypocrisy poisons family bonds and pushes the household toward ruin.

Director Jean Liermier underscores how, in Molière’s work, the female characters serve as the moral compass and spark of resistance, a beacon of hope against oppression. Staged on a stark, minimalist set that exposes the family’s rigid tensions—and featuring Gilles Privat as an unbending Orgon—this production highlights the play’s continuing resonance in a world beset by egotism, fanaticism, and conspiracy thinking. The central question remains timeless: will society keep falling for Tartuffe’s brand of seductive deceit?

In French. Ages 12 and up.

Des milliers de Sankara

Performances

La julienne

As part of the cultural season in Plan-les-Ouates, the Puck Collective presents a historical drama based on testimonies from Burkina Faso and Switzerland.

Immersed in a popular uprising, Aminata navigates a landscape of hope and uncertainty while confronting the hidden aspects of her personal history. The performance delves into Sankara’s legacy and raises questions about the future of coming generations.

Succès Reprise

Performances

Théâtre des Grottes

Succès Reprise is a sparkling vaudeville that blurs the line between theatrical comedy and the comedy of everyday life. A charming love triangle performed by a tight trio of actors unfolds through rapid-fire exchanges, physical gags and shifting misunderstandings. The staging favours bright pace and playful timing, delivering light-hearted warmth while revealing awkward human impulses and social foibles. The piece leaves a lingering smile and a sense of affectionate irony.

In French.

Music-Hall

Performances

Théâtre des Amis

Revived by director Ninon Fachard after the original staging by Véronique Ros de la Grange, this solo piece stars Jacques Michel with Caroline Gasser as the prompter. Lighting by Rinaldo Del Boca and music by Alain Lamarche carve intimate, shadowed spaces around a red sequined curtain. Makeup by Natalia Lepianka and costumes by Emilie Revel shape the fading glamour of a music‑hall star who soliloquises, recalls past glory and loss, and sings in playback—an inward plunge toward memory and survival.

In French.

Jolie Ngemi — Mbok’Elengi

Performances

Pavillon ADC

Choreographed by Jolie Ngemi, Mbok’Elengi transforms the stage into a street: five dancers reimagine Congolese dances, notably the exuberant sebene style. The piece blends contemporary movement and Congolese roots, building cultural bridges through ritual, celebration and resistance. Scenography and lighting shape an ecstatic group party that oscillates between revolt and dream, inviting physical joy and collective catharsis. The performance is non-verbal and driven by rhythm, gesture and communal energy.
