Booking Required

Directed by Mariama Sylla, this staging of Stephen Sachs’s play follows Maud, a down‑on‑her‑luck barmaid who discovers a painting that may be a Pollock. Carine Barbey and Frédéric Landenberg bring wit and grit to a sharp, class-conscious comedy-drama opposite Lionel Percy, an art expert. Khaled Khouri’s scenography, William Ballerio’s lighting, Pierre Omer’s music and Marion Schmid’s costumes shape an acidic, human portrait. Translation: Jerry Henning; assistant: Pauline Lebet; makeup: Katrine Zingg; painting: Eric Vuille. Coproduction with Cie La Gamine.

In French.

Masson/Duboule/Ruiz/Vandenbulcke

Performances

Lex Madone

Assembled at the initiative of Vincent Ruiz and Nicolas Masson, this newly formed quartet offers an open, democratic interpretation of recent compositions by Nicolas Masson. The project blends composed material and responsive improvisation, allowing structures to emerge and be shaped in real time. The ensemble—Nicolas Masson (saxophone), Théo Duboule (guitar), Vincent Ruiz (double bass) and Nathan Vandenbulcke (drums)—explores textural interplay, collective listening and the elasticity of form in contemporary chamber jazz.

La Demande en mariage et l’ours

Performances

Théâtre de Carouge

Two short plays by Anton Chekhov staged by Tibor Ockenfels and Flavie Tapparel, presented as compact dramatic machines where romantic comedy masks escalating confrontations between desire, affection and material interest. Performances rely on precise physical timing, terse exchanges and a lean, playful design to reveal the simmering violence behind courtship rituals. The three actors — Estelle Bridet, Matteo Prandi and Raphaël Vachoux — inhabit heightened character types that shift between farce and darker comic truth, creating a sharply observed, kinetic evening.

Partition of the Future – Squared

Performances

Plaine de Plainpalais

At the crossroads of theatre, mixed reality and technological installation, this immersive performance invites audiences to test the machine built by a scientist to tackle existential problems. Wearing mixed-reality headsets, spectators collectively explore the chaotic inner world of a person trapped by indecision. The experience moves between human vulnerability and artificial intelligence, until the machine itself begins to falter in the face of what it cannot fully understand.

27 October – 15 November

Focus Jeune Création

Performances

La Comédie de Genève

Focus Jeune Création brings together a new generation of Romand artists over two weeks, presenting five bold and hybrid performances that blur theatre, performance and live art. The program explores emergent writing and stage practices— from plateau-based text to pieces rooted in the real—offering layered, often indisciplinary approaches that question formats and invent languages for a transforming world. Accompanying meetings and discussions extend the works and open insight into creative processes.
