C’est déjà demain.14 is a festival that presents emerging creators from the Romande scene. The fourteenth edition gathers prototypes, first works, Bachelor and Master performances and short extracts in compact, experimental formats.

ClassiCosy presents the renowned Quatuor Strada in a complete cycle of Beethoven’s 16 string quartets, spread across seven concerts at Théâtre des Salons. This musical marathon celebrates the composer’s masterpieces, from early quartets influenced by Mozart and Haydn to the mature and transcendent works of his later opus. The performances offer a profound exploration of the human soul and a distinctive spiritual experience for music lovers in Geneva.
Led by Dee Dee Bridgewater (vocals), the Quartet — with Carmen Staaf (piano), Rosa Brunello (bass) and Shirazette Tinnin (drums) — presents the project “We Exist!”. The performance weaves expressive, elegant jazz that connects past and present through warm phrasing and incisive improvisation. The quartet’s interplay and subtle arrangements create an intimate, luminous atmosphere, shifting between tender balladry and buoyant swing. The result is a heartfelt, commanding musical journey that balances virtuosity with deep emotional warmth.
Directed by Françoise Courvoisier, this theatrical adaptation stages two periods of Grisélidis Réal’s life simultaneously, split between a dignified elder confronting illness and a vibrant earlier self. Martine Schambacher and Françoise Courvoisier embody these contrapuntal figures; assistant director Léa Déchamboux supports the staging. Natacha Jaquerod’s set, Rinaldo Del Boca’s lighting and Nicolas Le Roy’s sound design sculpt intimate, lyrical atmospheres. Drawing on Grisélidis’s letters, the piece blends lyricism and fury into a raw, elegiac portrait of life and writing.

Pères is a poetic ensemble piece directed by Lefki Papachrysostomou that interrogates fatherhood today. Texts by Julie Annen, Nicolas Tavaglione and Miguel Fernandez‑V are embodied by four actors — Dimitri Anzules, Angelo Dell’Aquila, Serge Martin and Jef Saintmartin — and framed by an all‑female creative team. Lighting by Claire Firmann, sound by Frédérique Jarabo and costumes by Lys Tell shape intimate scenes that alternate tenderness, duty and strain. The work explores filiation, grief and gratitude with rigorous stagecraft and quiet intensity.

Victor Delétraz’s solo investigates image and the moving body across past, present and future, probing the vulnerability of human pursuits and the tension between hidden and visible. Video interweaves with choreography, found objects, light, sound and text to create a fragmented, anachronistic structure where multiple voices, at once comic, cartoony, political and dramatic, collide. The presentation, framed within the festival C’est déjà demain, emphasizes exploration and the beginnings of artistic form.
