16 – 26 September

Frank Martin’s opera La Tempête, after Shakespeare with a libretto by August Wilhelm von Schlegel and Johann Ludwig Tieck, returns in a new French-language production. Conductor Thierry Fischer leads the score while director Netia Jones stages a striking conception that makes electricity the source of Prospero’s powers. The cast brings poetic intensity to the island’s drama—Miranda, Caliban and the spirit Ariel—blending vocal nuance, atmospheric design and inventive staging to revisit exile, magic and reconciliation.

24 – 27 September

Choreographed by Valeska Romero Curiqueo, Pewma (Mapudungun for “dream”) weaves dance, performance, live sound and poetry to trace transmissions between bodies. The piece confronts peripheral, wounded and violently marked identities through ritualized gestures and sensual collisions, invoking Venus as a figure of omen, destruction and rebirth. Live violin, synthesizers and vocals shape a tense, luminous soundscape as bodies dissolve and reconstitute, staging desire, friction and collective memory.

27 August – 18 October

Scène Vagabonde’s seventh edition brings a compact program of contemporary theatre and music, presenting three contrasting stage works — “Par le bout du nez”, “Quadrille” and “Prima facie” — alongside a concert by Orchestre Tout Puissant Marcel Duchamp as part of La Bâtie-Festival de Genève. Across intimate stagings the festival favors inventive direction, close ensemble interplay and a balance of wit and intensity, offering encounters that privilege physical presence, tonal variety and rigorous dramaturgy.

Opening the season, the Peace Philharmonic joins pianist and conductor Nikolay Khozyainov for an evening devoted to Mozart. Khozyainov’s virtuosic touch illuminates the drama and lyricism of the Piano Concerto No. 20 in D minor, while the orchestra delivers the grandeur and contrapuntal brilliance of the Symphony No. 41, ‘Jupiter’. The programme balances intimacy and orchestral power, offering refined phrasing, transparent textures and radiant elegance that bring Mozart’s expressive contrasts to life.

24 September – 7 October

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.

Thursday 24 September, 20:00

Four master impressionists reunite for a comic revue exploring Francophone identities and stereotypes. Yann Lambiel, Steeve Diamond, Fabian Le Castel and Laurent Chandemerle switch between sketches and songs, delivering rapid-fire character voices and musical parodies. The new show condenses more than a decade of collaboration into ninety minutes of sharp observation, playful rivalry and vocal virtuosity, using some 400 impressions to probe what unites these artists across Belgium, Switzerland, France and Québec.
