Frank Zappa’s opera “200 Motels” is showing in Switzerland for the first time. This dynamic musical-theatrical piece is brought to life by director Daniel Kramer and conductor Titus Engel, featuring an impressive and diverse cast, including Robin Adams, Brenda Rae, and legendary guitarist Mike Keneally. Known for his iconic rock career, Zappa presents an experimental and psychedelic work that blends opera, rock, and contemporary classical music. “200 Motels” offers a chaotic and extravagant journey across the United States, mirroring the wild lives of Zappa and the Mothers of Invention.

On a triple bill by the Ballet Junior de Genève, three new works unfold: Yuval Pick’s Revoada, Émilie Leriche’s sad game and Sharon Eyal & Gai Behar’s Untitled Black. The company moves with collective intensity, shifting between taut physicality and lyrical surges. Pick teases singularity through vibrant movement, Leriche propels the dancers into precise, breathless lyricism, and Eyal/Behar impose a hypnotic, technically demanding finale. The evening is charged, communal and viscerally alive.
Directed by Françoise Courvoisier, Les Glycines is a new creation by the TAC ensemble that examines the theme of madness through comic and reflective lenses. Performers including Nicole Aubert, Loulou Morisod, Catherine Vaucher, Zamila Yunus, Patrice von Büren, Claude Morex and Daniel Mouchet use improvised confidences to weave reality and fantasy. The staging blends intimacy and humour, shaping a tailored theatrical work for this company. Produced by Les Amis – Le Chariot.
