Wednesday 8 September, 20:00

By Anton Tchekhov, L’Ours et la Demande en mariage is staged by Tibor Ockenfels and Flavie Tapparel in a spirited production that turns comedy into a vivid duel. The direction highlights the clash between conventions and desire, while set and lighting carve intimate, rhythmical confrontations. Through absurd yet touching quarrels the actors reveal tenderness beneath pride, exploring marriage, social rules and human foibles. Produced by Théâtre de Carouge with the support of Fondation Leenaards.

In French.

8 – 9 September

Choreographed by Christos Papadopoulos, My Fierce Ignorant Step gathers ten bodies whose mounting breath becomes the show’s engine. The piece translates performers’ respiration into kinetic waves and layered soundscapes, dialoguing with the contemporary music of Mikis Theodorakis. Drawing on the choral pulse of ancient tragedy, the work collapses collective Hellenic memory into intimate reveries — the impulse of beginnings, the buoyancy of first encounters and the spontaneous spark of early laughter. The staging is physical, precise and visceral.

27 August – 18 October

Scène Vagabonde’s seventh edition brings a compact program of contemporary theatre and music, presenting three contrasting stage works — “Par le bout du nez”, “Quadrille” and “Prima facie” — alongside a concert by Orchestre Tout Puissant Marcel Duchamp as part of La Bâtie-Festival de Genève. Across intimate stagings the festival favors inventive direction, close ensemble interplay and a balance of wit and intensity, offering encounters that privilege physical presence, tonal variety and rigorous dramaturgy.

Tuesday 8 September, 20:00

Led by guitarist Christophe Godin, this high-energy rock evening blends blistering riffs, searing solos and communal jamming. Godin and his team create an open-stage atmosphere where seasoned players and eager guests trade fiery phrases over a punchy rhythm section. Sparse staging, bold lighting and raw sound design foreground the music’s physicality, shifting from tight grooves to explosive climaxes. The experience is generous and unpredictable, driven by virtuosity, improvisation and shared joy.

8 – 10 September

An emblematic stand-up showcase celebrating the club’s ninth anniversary, presenting the best of Romand humour across three nights. Eighteen talented comedians alternate on stage in an intimate, vaulted-cellar setting, delivering sharp observations, playful storytelling and rapid-fire sketches. The programme blends established voices and emerging talent, shifting between satirical edge and warm, observational comedy to create an electric, convivial atmosphere.

In French.

8 – 13 September

Choreographed by Saša Asentić, Le Sacre du printemps is a reimagined Stravinsky landmark performed by the inclusive company Per.Art. Drawing on historical versions by the Ballets Russes, Maurice Béjart and Pina Bausch and enriched with the voices of disabled poets from Serbia, Iran, Ukraine and the United States, the seven dancers invert the original narrative. The staging transforms ritual into a manifesto of survival, blending physical rigor, collective solidarity and poetic testimony to renew the score as a cry for life.
