Choreographer Ugo Dehaes replaces his human troupe with extravagant robot-dancers endowed with an artificial intelligence that invents their own choreography. Intimate and unsettling, the performance invites the audience to sit around a table as the mechanised performers execute an uncanny, rhythmic ballet. Marie Peeters’ dramaturgy frames questions about labour, profit and the place of culture, while Wannes Deneer’s scenography and musical composition shape a tactile, immersive atmosphere. The piece blends humour, critique and physical precision.
In early January 2022, two construction vehicles belonging to a Swiss multinational were set on fire at a gravel pit in the Geneva countryside.

Le Tremplin gathers emerging Swiss musical talents in a televised talent journey that starts with open-mic auditions and evolves through filmed stages and coached workshops. Each artist presents two songs — a full piece and a shorter excerpt — across any genre or language, originals or covers. Around sixty participants advance from auditions to final selection, with twenty chosen for the next season. The piece emphasizes community, mentorship and the thrill of live performance, balancing intimate moments with staged showcases.
Ensemble Musicâme France presents a programme of fiery passion and intimate lyricism, weaving Tchaikovsky, Puccini, Massenet, Bizet, Saint-Saëns and Queen into a textured evening.

Dynamic contrasts and carefully shaped soundscapes move from dramatic surges to hushed vulnerability, creating a visceral, heart‑felt voyage.
