Antigone à la nuit

Performances

Booking Required

Performed by Françoise Boillat with Guillaume Béguin, Antigone at Night is a spare, intimate staging from Scènes du Grütli that sets the heroine before seven remarkable trees as silent witnesses to human conflicts. The piece probes justice, submission and insubordination through restrained physicality and poetic text, while a subtle soundscape and attentive lighting sculpt moments of solitude and confrontation, letting centuries-old trunks resonate with the moral weight of inherited laws.

LETTRE À MON DICTATEUR

Performances

POCHE /GVE

Directed by Geneviève Pasquier and performed by Vincent Babel, LETTRE À MON DICTATEUR stages Eugène’s cathartic gesture of writing to Nicolae Ceauşescu. The production blends intimate monologue with archival echoes, folding fragments of Pierre Omer’s Swing Revue into a jazz-tinged score that punctuates memory and revelation. The creative space favors spare tableaux, tactile sound textures and a nimble rhythm that offsets historical weight with mischievous warmth, transforming personal trauma into a tender, witty coming-of-age confession.

La Parfumerie

At La Parfumerie, “VERTIGES” by Catherine Tinivella Aeschimann takes us to the base of the Eiger’s north face, where five tourists follow the climb of mountaineer Ueli Steck. Turning simple observation into an intense immersion, they experience the emotions of Steck and his partner. This piece, a blend of sports commentary and alpine storytelling, delves into our connection with achievement and performance, while also recalling the ghosts of the Eiger’s victims.
