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.

The Lemanic Modern Ensemble traces Maurice Ravel’s poetic universe through music, song and spoken text, with conductor Dylan Corlay and French soprano Marion Tassou. Framed by Bénédicte Lesenne’s original staging, the programme moves between Symbolist literature, distant cultures, jazz and music-hall, revealing a modernist landscape both playful and refined. Ravel’s pages meet works by Satie, Chostakovitch, Marinetti and others in a vivid encounter between heritage and fantasy.

6 – 13 November

Presented in partnership with the Institut National Genevois, this closing concert brings together prizewinners of the Geneva Competition: violist Brian Isaacs and the Quatuor Elmire. The programme centres on Beethoven’s Quintet alongside two contrasting works, offering intimate chamber music textures. The performers favour clarity of line and heated interplay, shaping a narrative of tenderness and tension. Lighting and staging are understated, focusing attention on timbral richness and communicative ensemble playing to create a luminous, emotionally precise evening.

10 November – 6 December

Directed by Brigitte Rosset, this intimate comedy follows Lucie, a celebrated playwright trapped by silence, and Thomas, her eccentric new neighbour whose clumsy misadventures rekindle her imagination. Performed by Mauro Bellucci and Camille Figuereo, the staging plays with the boundaries between fiction and reality, mixing subtle humour, melancholic moments and theatrical invention. The production honours the original text by Matthieu Delaporte and Alexandre de La Patellière.

In French.

22 September – 29 November

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.

In French.
