Ah ! Une brève histoire du cri primordial

Performances

Théâtricul

But what is “reality”?
A forgotten cassette in a tape recorder becomes the key to a journey through time.
Two coworkers, Kurt and Willard, are plunged into the heart of an unprecedented psychiatric experiment where delirium and lucidity intertwine.

They must piece together a puzzle that will lead them to the very edge of madness. “Why are you so angry? …Because all of a sudden I was taking control of something? …Huh? Until now you were used to completely controlling the situation, and now this strangeness has crept into your life…”

In French.

La Panne

Performances

Maison Rousseau

Conceived and performed by Alexandre Pateau, La Panne transforms Dürrenmatt’s black comedy into a gastrotheatrical solo that turns a dinner table into a tribunal. Pateau inhabits every role, blending sharp comic timing with moral unease as three former lawyers re‑try history’s great cases over a feast. Sound designer Clément Rousseaux and props designer Nicola Sartorio shape a tactile, immersive stage world. The piece oscillates between farce and cruelty, probing justice, guilt and complicity in intimate, sensory detail.

In French.

One Thing After Another

Performances

Théâtre de l'Orangerie

Join a playful builder who improvises a strange home in a garden. With brave, clever ropes and found objects she moves from one idea to the next, sometimes wild, sometimes stubborn, slowly assembling a surprising structure. Children will watch materials cooperate or resist, feel the rhythm of making, and wonder whether everything will collapse or turn into accidental genius. A lively, physical performance that celebrates imagination, trial and joyful experimentation.

In French. Ages 6 and up.

Orchestre de la Suisse Romande

Performances

Scène Ella Fitzgerald

Conducted by Zofia Kiniorska, the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande unfolds a richly coloured soundscape across four 20th-century works from the Russian, French and Swiss repertoire. Prokofiev’s Classical Symphony playfully upends 18th-century conventions, combining wit with razor‑sharp energy. Frank Martin’s Concerto for Seven Wind Instruments offers lucid, finely balanced polyphony where instrumental lines converse with clarity. Ravel’s writing turns more sensual in Le Tombeau de Couperin before the virtuosic brilliance of Tzigane closes the programme in a whirlwind of raw energy.
