Rock on Stage Classic is an event offering musicians of all skill levels the chance to perform on stage, guided by André Schmid, the former lead singer of the Geneva band Ça va chier. Participants can perform solo, with their own accompanists, or be supported by a team of professional musicians.
Revived by director Ninon Fachard after the original staging by Véronique Ros de la Grange, this solo piece stars Jacques Michel with Caroline Gasser as the prompter. Lighting by Rinaldo Del Boca and music by Alain Lamarche carve intimate, shadowed spaces around a red sequined curtain. Makeup by Natalia Lepianka and costumes by Emilie Revel shape the fading glamour of a music‑hall star who soliloquises, recalls past glory and loss, and sings in playback—an inward plunge toward memory and survival.

Created by Aurélie Hubeau and Lucie Hanoy, L’IMPOSTURE is a comic and poetic exploration of doubt, self-image and belonging. The piece follows a woman who describes herself as too small, obese, ugly and a tomboy, and recounts how she forged an identity in today’s world. Using objects, clothing and puppets manipulated with inventive choreography, the performance weaves humor, poetry and music — from Patrick Bruel to gospel and karaoke — to celebrate difference and question social norms, delivering warmth and poignancy.

“Cleopatra at Am Stram Gram” is a must-see show for audiences of all ages. Directed by Dan Jemmett and penned by Rémi De Vos, this production offers a fresh take on the Cleopatra myth, uncovering lesser-known facets of this historical icon. With an all-female cast, the play delves into her alliances, romantic entanglements, and her prowess in languages, mathematics, and philosophy, set against a backdrop of a male-dominated world. It’s a theatrical experience not to be missed!

Festa Mediterranea gathers musicians, dancers and tradition-bearers from Southern Italy in a celebration of communal ritual and seasonal renewal. Rooted in popular cultures, the program threads fervor, humour and virtuosic technique through concerts, a communal bal and dance workshops. Textures of voice, percussion and folk stringed instruments conjure pastoral landscapes, proposing an ecology of sound where heritage is continuously reinvented. The experience is both exuberant and intimate, inviting shared movement and attentive listening.
Led by London-born pianist Dave O’Brien, newly based in Geneva, this quartet presents a varied programme of original, rhythmically propulsive compositions alongside reworkings of Punch Brothers and Duke Ellington. With Manu Gesseney on saxophone, Pierre Balda on double bass and Ibrahim Terkemani on drums, the group blends folk-inflected lyricism, modern jazz harmonies and cinematic textures inspired by Tigran Hamasyan, Chick Corea and Avishai Cohen. Expect close, improvisational interplay, dynamic shifts and a warm, tactile sound that moves between intimacy and expansive momentum.
Succès Reprise is a sparkling vaudeville that blurs the line between theatrical comedy and the comedy of everyday life. A charming love triangle performed by a tight trio of actors unfolds through rapid-fire exchanges, physical gags and shifting misunderstandings. The staging favours bright pace and playful timing, delivering light-hearted warmth while revealing awkward human impulses and social foibles. The piece leaves a lingering smile and a sense of affectionate irony.
